We know that as an entrepreneur, you have your hands full juggling the responsibilities of multiple full-time employees. We want to make sure accounting is not one of them. Cutting corners early on in record-keeping, managing cash, analyzing financial data, and overall accounting functions often come back to haunt businesses at crucial growth stages, and wind up costing you more money trying to play catch-up retroactively. Creating healthy habits around your accounting from day one will position your company for long-term success.

Our wide range of accounting services are designed to support your business where it needs it the most. As a small business ourselves, we understand that money may be limited in the beginning, so we tailor a fixed monthly pricing rate in accordance with your company’s needs and the volume of transactions you process. We are here as a resource for you – we can free up your time, so you can focus on generating revenue, securing clients, developing your operation, attracting talent and investors, and pushing the boundaries of your business.

We provide critical support across the realm of accounting services across business stages, including:
