| OUR STORY
Working with companies of all sizes in financial and operational leadership positions, it was frustrating to see these businesses spinning their wheels. The constant state of chaos was debilitating. We set out to cater to small and medium-sized enterprises (MBE) to help entrepreneurs and business owners streamline their financial success. We aim to help each client with a human touch and take a vested interest in your financial performance.
Since day #1, Our firm will not take advantage of clients with billing by the hour. We want to protect your cash flow - not run the taxi ticker. By strengthening our privately held businesses, one at a time, we strive to improve the employment and economic opportunities for local, global, and digital communities.
What started as some fractional project work turned into a network of partners with the same goal - to improve the financial sustainability of our clients with modern technology, current industry best practices, and our human touch. Through years of developing systems and working with lenders and business partners, we developed a whole business program that lets business owners run their businesses hands-off or remotely from an island.
We are trying to positively impact as many business owners as possible. Our concern is your cash flow and future profitability. There are many new ways to engineer business financial operations; we are constantly researching and developing new ways to optimize our clients' performance.
Our human touch is meaningful when managing your finances - our whole business and whole person approach separates us from the rest. Let's grow together!

Financial Management
Each company's financial situation depends on its business plan, balance sheet, and day-to-day strategy. Our fractional finance executives manage your accounting and have a solid understanding of your financial reporting requirements. Keeping track of your general ledger is seamless with our online bookkeeping service. Small businesses need their own bookkeeping system enabled by a small business consultant that becomes part of the team.
Small business financing, such as an SBA loan, requires sound financial statements and expertise to meet lending standards. Your money is important to hire more employees and fund payroll. Considering your tax planning, we recommend the optimal accounting method for your own business.
For a fixed fee, our small business consulting programs provide the professional experience of a financial officer to organize and lead your business finances.
Small Business Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Finance
If your company needs to take on debt like a business loan, it is important to under your financial statements before going to the bank. Small businesses risk high-interest rates depending on their accounting method and personal finances. We manage bookkeeping so the business owner can focus on a rewarding career.
Our team handles reconciling transactions, accrual-based accounting, and small business finances. We work with your accounting software or implement a modern small business bookkeeping solution like QuickBooks. We remove the burden of doing your own bookkeeping and help you focus on your target market.
