BUSINESS SERVICES

  • We can assist you in determining the most efficient way to keep your accounting up to date based on your time restraints and budget.  Whether it is hiring a part time person, or training you or a family member, we can advise you based on your unique situation.  We strive to let you maintain your daily books and records with our limited involvement, but we are available to assist at whatever level of service is needed. 

  • Growing businesses often reach a point where they need professional financial advice, but can't afford a full-time CFO or controller.

    Our Part-Time CFO service gives you a professional financial manager who works with you to help guide your business to success.

    The cost of hiring a full-time CFO can be cost prohibitive. Our Part-Time CFO services provides you with experienced support at a small fraction of the cost.

  • If you own a family business, retirement isn't simply a matter of deciding not to go into the office anymore. Developing and implementing a well-designed succession plan is essential to the survival of a family business from one generation to the next.

    We help you with these key issues:

    • Keeping it in the family. Are you going to pass the business on to your family or sell it to a third party? We help you weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each of these options.

    • Who's going to run the business when you're gone? Management and ownership are not one and the same. You may decide to transfer management of your business to just one of your children but transfer equal shares of business ownership to all your children, whether they're actively involved in the business or not.

    • Minimizing the tax bite. The tax burden when transitioning a family business can be significant. The challenge is that a family business is not generally a liquid asset, but taxes are typically due when ownership is transferred.

    • Making it fair. Transferring family ownership often adds a tremendous amount of stress to individual family members. We talk with each of the family members to ensure that they feel they a getting an equitable and fair share of the pie.
