Beyond the books
When you need more than books
Records tell you where the money went. A business in Richmond that is growing, carrying debt or running tight on cash also needs to know where it is going, and when a slow month will hurt.
It is planning and reporting on the books we keep, delivered at the size your business needs. It does not replace your CPA. Tax returns are a separate service (see /tax-preparation); we do not audit statements or give legal advice.
What that can include
- A one-page dashboard of the five or six numbers you steer by
- Pricing and margin review by job, product or customer
- Cash planning around estimated tax dates, coordinated with your CPA
