Integrated bookkeeping, strategic tax planning, and CFO-level guidance for businesses with $500K-$2M revenue. Serving the East Coast corridor with virtual-first service from Philadelphia to New York and beyond.
Who We Serve
Is Your Financial Infrastructure Holding You Back?
You've built a successful business generating $500K-$2M in annual revenue. But your financial infrastructure hasn't kept pace with your growth. Right now, you're dealing with:
Books that are 2-3 months behind, making it impossible to make informed decisions
Surprise tax bills because no one's doing proactive planning
Hours wasted each week on QuickBooks instead of growing your business
The nagging feeling that you don't really understand your numbers
You don't need a full-time CFO (and can't justify the $150K+ salary). But you've outgrown DIY bookkeeping and basic compliance work. That's where we come in.

STEP 2: CUSTOMIZED PROPOSAL
If we're aligned, we'll send a detailed proposal outlining the recommended service package, pricing, and expected outcomes based on your specific situation.
STEP 3: IMPLEMENTATION (30 days)
Once you're on board, we'll handle setup, catch up any backlog, and establish your baseline financial statements. By day 30, you'll have clean, current books and a clear financial picture.
STEP 4: ONGOING PARTNERSHIP
Monthly bookkeeping, financial statements, advisory calls, and proactive tax planning become your new normal. You focus on growth—we handle the financial infrastructure.
Q: Do you work with businesses outside of Philadelphia and New York?
A: Yes! We serve clients across the United States with virtual-first service. Most communication happens via email, phone, and video calls. We have an office in Philadelphia for local clients who prefer in-person meetings, but location is not a limitation.
2
Q: What if my books are a mess and months behind?
A: That's exactly the situation we specialize in fixing. During implementation, we'll catch up your backlog and establish clean baseline financials. Most clients are current within 30 days.
3
Q: Do I need to be a certain size to work with you?
A: Our services are designed for businesses with $500K-$2M in annual revenue. If you're below $300K, we're probably not the right fit yet—but we're happy to recommend other providers and reconnect once you've grown.
4
Q: What accounting software do you work with?
A: We primarily work with QuickBooks Online, which we recommend for most growing businesses. If you're using other software, let's discuss during your financial assessment.
5
Q: Do you handle payroll?
A: We coordinate with your existing payroll provider and can recommend trusted partners if needed, but payroll processing is not included in our core packages.
6
Q: How is this different from hiring a full-time bookkeeper or CFO?
A: A full-time bookkeeper typically costs $45K-$60K/year but lacks strategic CFO-level expertise. A full-time CFO costs $150K-$250K+. Our fractional CFO model gives you strategic financial leadership at $24K-$42K/year—a fraction of the cost with the expertise you need.
7
Q: What's your cancellation policy?
A: We work on a month-to-month basis with 30 days notice. No long-term contracts or lock-ins. We believe in earning your business every month through excellent service.
