The close that
just works.

I run monthly close, consolidations, and technical accounting for multi-entity groups, so your numbers are audit-ready by the 10th without a full-time controller on payroll.

What I do

Senior-level close and technical accounting work. The parts that require judgment stay on my desk.

01

Monthly Close & Consolidation

Multi-entity close, intercompany reconciliation with three-way tie-outs, trial balance normalization and roll-forward, and a full BS / IS / CF statement package on your calendar.

02

Technical Accounting

ASC 606 revenue recognition and deferred revenue schedules, customer deposit aging, payroll and labor cost-center allocations, and nonprofit and association reporting.

03

Board & Executive Reporting

Board decks, executive summaries, KPI dashboards, variance commentary, and liquidity and cash-flow forecasting, built so leadership reads them instead of decoding them.

04

Systems

Sage Intacct implementation and migration, QuickBooks Online cleanup and reporting, QBO to Intacct migration, and Excel reporting architecture that survives a handoff.

Who it’s for

This is a narrow practice on purpose. Being direct about fit saves us both a discovery call.

Good fit
  • Multiple entities or real consolidation complexity
  • $3M–$50M in revenue
  • On Sage Intacct, migrating to it, or running clean QuickBooks
  • An in-house bookkeeper or AP clerk handling daily transactions
  • A predictable monthly cycle you want to stop firefighting
Not a fit
  • You need daily or real-time availability
  • Books are chaotic with no daily support — that needs a paid cleanup first
  • Pre-revenue and looking for strategic hand-holding
  • You want a body in a seat rather than a delivered package

Multi-Entity Consolidation Across $46.4M in Assets

Five entities running on three source systems, closed every month in a 33-tab manual workbook. Rebuilt from source into an auditable, append-only consolidation that re-dates on a single cell.

How I work

A good close is like good ground tackle. Nobody thinks about it until weather hits, and my job is to make sure it holds.
A
Deliverable-based, not availability-basedYou are buying a reliable monthly financial package, not on-call hours. Guaranteed dates tied to your close calendar, a defined async response window, and one scheduled monthly review call.
B
Senior and directYou get me start to finish, not a rotating team and a status deck. If I bring in production help as the practice grows, judgment, review, and sign-off still never leave my desk.
C
Built to be left aloneEvery recurring engagement becomes a documented, repeatable procedure. The goal is a close your team can own and run without me.
