Services


Fixed-scope work outside the retainer pillars, often the way new clients start. Common projects include:

  • A single-period structural-supportability assessment that tests whether your current financial picture actually holds together.

  • Quality of earnings analysis and CFO-side transaction support for owners considering a sale, recapitalization, or acquisition.

  • M&A integration support: purchase accounting, balance-sheet integration, and financial reporting alignment.

  • Lease accounting implementations.

  • Treasury and banking operations build-out.

  • Targeted system selections or remediation.


Fractional CFO

Strategic financial leadership for closely-held businesses without a full-time CFO. Monthly oversight of accounting, planning, banking relationships, and capital decisions. 13-week cash forecasting, monthly leadership reviews, quarterly check-ins, and on-call advisory between them.


Client Advisory Services

Ongoing advisory across the day-to-day financial operations of the business: reporting, reconciliations, controls, month-end close discipline, and SSARS-compliant Preparation engagements (AR-C 70) for businesses that need a defensible financial statement. Management retains written responsibility for the statements. No assurance is provided.


Financial Systems Advisory

Special-Project Engagements

Selection, implementation, and remediation of the financial systems that produce your numbers: ERP, GL, FP&A, and the integrations between them. Twenty-five years of doing this at scale, at organizations where the system handled $50B in revenue and thousands of leases across multiple geographies.


The work is to know what's true about a business, then act on it.
