We do this by taking a holistic view when building your processes and teams, as opposed to a standard "cookie cutter" package service offered by alternatives. To get a better idea of what your scope of service might include, take a look at the examples at the bottom of this webpage for growth companies vs. established (mature) companies needs.
We make it easy for you to plug and play our services into your organization.

Our CFO Advisory and Consulting Service includes a team of experienced finance professionals and our services are designed to wrap around your accounting. We utilize a remote Texas based workforce.

We Care And Want Your Business to Thrive
Owning and running a private company is tough. Your least abundant resource is time and when you are growing - you never have enough cash. These are common growing pains we see clients struggling with:
-
Owners are overrun with too many responsibilities - working and running the company.
-
Unfamiliarity with what is going on with the financial health and the performance of their companies.
-
Not getting relevant and impactful information they need to aid in decision making.
-
Encountering growth resistance points and frustrated with an inability to make traction.
-
Feeling something is off or there is a gap, but not exactly sure what "it" is.
-
Not getting candid feedback, constructive guidance, or practical solutions to tackle problems.
-
Dealing with gaps in organizational design and governance.
We have experience helping clients with these issues and much more. What we do is help you see the big picture and understand how the administrative and operational pieces of your business impact your profitability, cash flow, and/or hold back growth so you can take action.
