Consulting
how can we help?
Whether you’re an established business in need of process improvement or a start-up looking for guidance, we help you implement best practices. We look not only at your finances but how every area of your business is contributing (or hindering) your success.
We offer two packages
CFO Assessment – $1,000
- We focus on the finance and accounting areas of your business
- We have an initial consultation, followed by review and analysis of your books and processes, and a final consultation with documented recommendations.
Owner Assessment – $3,000
- We look at all areas of your business and how they work together
- We focus on three main angles
- Do you have the right people?
- Does your product and price align with your market and message?
- Do you have processes in place to ensure nothing falls between the cracks, business functions smoothly, and you could transition to a new employee?
