Frequently Asked Questions

We combine the deep expertise of a full-service accounting firm with the responsiveness and integration of an in-house finance team. You get senior-level talent, proactive insights, and systems that scale, without the overhead of hiring full-time staff.

We specialize in supporting established small and mid-sized businesses, generally in the $5–$50 million annual revenue range. Our clients span industries like manufacturing, healthcare, professional services, retail, and more. If you have complex accounting, payroll, or tax needs, we can help.

Yes. We work with businesses nationwide. Most of our work is done remotely using secure cloud-based systems, but we can arrange on-site visits for key meetings, audits, or special projects.

We start with a discovery process to understand your financial history, systems, and goals. We review your current books, payroll setup, and tax situation, then create a transition plan that gets you to accurate, timely, and actionable reporting as quickly as possible.

Communication is tailored to your preferences and the service package you select. Some packages include monthly review calls or weekly check-ins. All clients receive ongoing email and portal access for quick questions and secure document sharing.

We use encrypted, cloud-based portals for sharing and storing documents, with strict access controls to keep your financial data secure.

Yes. You’ll have a dedicated account lead who knows your business inside and out and serves as your main point of contact, backed by specialists in accounting, payroll, and tax. In addition, a Client Success Manager stays closely involved to ensure your needs are consistently met and your experience with us runs smoothly.

Absolutely. We often partner with in-house staff to expand capacity, fill skill gaps, and bring specialized expertise without disrupting your existing workflows.

We offer fixed-fee monthly service packages as well as custom solutions based on your company’s needs. This makes budgeting predictable and eliminates surprise bills.

No. While most clients work with us on an ongoing basis, we can structure engagements that fit your needs without locking you into lengthy commitments.

We can take on your entire back-office finance function — accounting, payroll, tax, and M&A support — or we can plug into specific areas where you need extra capacity or expertise.

In most cases, we can begin onboarding within one week of signing an agreement, with the first deliverables in your hands within a month.
