Growing Pains We Solve

As your business scales, DIY accounting and basic bookkeeping just don't cut it anymore. We bridge the gap between basic compliance and strategic finance.

Outgrowing DIY Accounting

Spending hours in QuickBooks fixing categorization errors instead of focusing on sales and operations.

Tax Surprises

Getting hit with unexpected tax bills at year-end because no one was monitoring profitability throughout the year.

Cash Flow Blindspots

Not knowing if you can afford that new hire or inventory purchase because your books are months behind.

Payroll & Compliance

Struggling to keep up with contractor 1099s, payroll tax registrations, and multi-state compliance.

Lack of Insights

Making critical business decisions based on gut feeling rather than accurate financial data and KPIs.

Year-End Scramble

The stressful rush to find receipts and clean up 12 months of data just to get your tax return filed on time.

Our Process

A simple, proven workflow to take your finances from chaotic to clear.

Onboarding

We review your current setup, understand your business goals, and configure your tech stack (QuickBooks, Xero, Gusto, etc.) for success.

Cleanup & Setup

We fix historical errors, reconcile old transactions, and organize your chart of accounts so your data is accurate from day one.

Monthly Close

Every month, we categorize transactions, reconcile bank feeds, and deliver clean financial statements you can trust.

Insights & Strategy

We don't just send reports; we help you understand them. We provide tax planning and CFO insights to help you grow profitably.

Case Study

E-commerce Scaling

The Challenge

A DTC brand hitting $2M in revenue was struggling with inventory tracking and sales tax compliance across 15 states. Their books were a mess of Shopify payouts and credit card charges.

The Solution

We implemented an inventory management system integrated with Xero and set up automated sales tax tracking. We reconciled all payment processor fees to show true gross vs. net revenue.

Results

  • Accurate COGS and gross margin tracking
  • 100% sales tax compliant
  • Saved 20+ hours/month in manual data entry
  • Clear visibility into product profitability
Case Study

Professional Services Firm

The Challenge

A marketing agency with 12 employees was running blind on project profitability. They were using cash-basis accounting and didn't know which clients were actually making them money.

The Solution

We switched them to accrual accounting and set up project-based tracking in QuickBooks. We implemented a monthly close process to review budget vs. actuals for every client account.

Results

  • Identified and renegotiated 3 unprofitable contracts
  • Improved cash flow forecasting
  • Streamlined invoicing process
  • 15% increase in net profit margin
Case Study

Restaurant Group

The Challenge

A growing cafe chain with 3 locations had no consolidated view of their finances. Invoices were piling up, and they were constantly surprised by cash shortages during payroll weeks.

The Solution

We consolidated their entities into a single reporting structure with location-tracking. We implemented Bill.com for AP management and a weekly cash flow forecast.

Results

  • Unified view of total business performance
  • Eliminated late fees on vendor payments
  • Predictable cash flow for payroll
  • Data-driven expansion to 4th location

Tech Startup

The Challenge

A SaaS startup preparing for Series A fundraising needed audit-ready financials. Their DIY books were messy, with capitalized software development costs expensed incorrectly.

The Solution

We performed a full historical cleanup, properly capitalizing R&D costs, and built a robust financial model showing MRR, churn, and CAC to present to investors.

Results

  • Passed due diligence with zero red flags
  • Successfully raised $5M Series A
  • Established board-level reporting package
  • R&D tax credit study saved $45k
