How We Work
Simple process. No BS.
Step 1: Understand Your Situation
Initial Call (30 minutes)
- • What's broken or not working?
- • What does success look like?
- • What's the timeline?
- • Are we the right fit?
Assessment (If It's a Fit)
- • Review current financials
- • Understand systems and processes
- • Identify gaps and issues
- • Assess technical complexity
- • Determine scope
Deliverable: Clear proposal with approach and next steps
Step 2: Fix the Foundation
Most engagements start here. What we fix:
- Clean up messy books (if needed)
- Fix broken processes
- Implement proper controls
- Establish accurate baseline
- Document everything properly
Timeline: 4-12 weeks depending on situation.
Without clean, accurate books, everything else is guesswork. Can't make good decisions with bad data.
Step 3: Handle Technical Work
What we handle:
- Technical accounting research and position memos
- Complex transaction documentation
- Revenue recognition issues
- Crypto and digital asset accounting
- Audit preparation and support
Defensible positions survive scrutiny from auditors, buyers, investors, and regulators.
Step 4: Improve Operations
Once foundation is solid:
- Faster month-end close
- Automated processes where appropriate
- Real-time reporting and dashboards
- Cash flow forecasting
- KPI tracking
Timeline: Ongoing improvement over 3-6 months.
You know where you stand without waiting weeks. Finance becomes an asset, not a bottleneck.
Step 5: Support Major Decisions
Strategic support when needed:
- Business sale preparation
- Fundraising and investor relations
- Major operational changes
- Growth planning and modeling
- Tax strategy and structuring
Timeline: Project-based or ongoing. Senior finance thinking when it matters most.

We tailor approach to what actually needs to happen.
