Beyond the books
Bookkeeping, then a plan for the numbers
Records tell you where the money went. A business in Scarsdale 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.
Think of it as part-time finance leadership: forecasting, budgeting and a monthly conversation about the numbers. It depends on the bookkeeping underneath. Tax filings, audits and legal advice stay with your CPA or attorney.
What that can include
- Financial statements and a package built for a bank or lender
- A budget and a monthly look at budget versus actual
- Cash planning around estimated tax dates, coordinated with your CPA
