Services

Three services. Fixed fees. Take what you need.

A flat monthly amount, agreed in writing before we start. No hourly billing. No charge for a phone call.

Three services, sold independently. Take one, take two, or take all three. A principal owns your account start to finish.

All three together start at $13,500 a month.

CFO

The forward view. An advisory layer on top of whatever accounting you already have.

From $6,500 / month
  • Rolling 12-month forecast, updated monthly
  • 13-week cash forecast
  • Annual budget built with you
  • Pricing analysis by job or product

Assumes the books are closed monthly on QuickBooks Online, by us or by your team. If we aren't keeping them, a one-time setup engagement comes first.

Prices assume annual revenue under $10 million and a single entity. Multiple entities, inventory or WIP, multi-state payroll, and job costing across many active jobs all move the number.

Before the monthly work

Onboarding, setup, cleanup

Onboarding

A one-time fee. The first sixty days rebuild the chart of accounts, set the close calendar, and establish approvals. Pricing it separately keeps the monthly fee honest.

CFO setup

Required before a standalone CFO engagement, when someone else keeps the books. A CPA reviews the chart of accounts, the reconciliation status, and the trial balance, then establishes the close calendar your team will work to. You get a written assessment of what shape the books are in.

Typically $5,000. We won't forecast off numbers we haven't checked.

Cleanup and migration

Behind, or on desktop software or spreadsheets? That gets fixed first, quoted as its own project. We work in QuickBooks Online.

Typically $5,000 to $15,000, depending on years and accounts. Quoted before you commit.

Pricing

What moves the number

Complexity, not size.

  • Multiple entities or consolidation
  • Inventory, WIP, or percentage-of-completion
  • High transaction volume for the revenue
  • Multi-state payroll or sales tax
  • Job costing across many active jobs
  • Books needing ongoing remediation
Tax

Business returns, prepared and signed by us

Quoted separately from the monthly fee.

  • Business return preparation and filing
  • Sales and use tax returns
  • Planning through the year, not in March
  • Estimated payments calculated and scheduled
  • Coordination with your personal return preparer

Because we keep the books, the return starts from numbers we already trust. No January scramble for a trial balance.

Scope

What we don't do

We work alongside your attorney and your audit firm.

  • Audits, reviews, and compilations. We support the firm that does yours.
  • Investment, insurance, or legal advice
  • Payroll processing
