About Us
How We Work
As owner of a growing business, you probably need more than a bookkeeper. The more likely scenario is that you need a Chief Financial Officer with a support staff. But we understand that hiring a CFO might not be in your budget right now.
We designed our business to provide a comprehensive list of accounting services, which can include CFO-level expertise and insight, at a price that a small agency or business can afford. We’re able to keep costs down by using technology and automation to our advantage, while keeping customer relationships and communication at the forefront.
