Everything your business needs
to run
clean and grow confidently

I don’t just “do the books.” I build structured financial systems — Fortune 500 discipline applied to your QuickBooks environment.

Behind on your books? Let’s discuss your year‑end cleanup.

Duplicates, unreconciled accounts, or months (or years) behind — Catch-Up & Clean-Up gets you tax-ready before your CPA asks. No judgment, just a clear path forward.

Advanced & AI-Powered Services

Fortune 500 reporting.
Fractional CFO capabilities.

Strategic financial services for capital projects, real estate, and complex business decisions.

For nearly two decades I reported on an Operations & Maintenance program of approximately $250 million per year — closing the books by the 7th weekday, every month, within ~1% of budget.

I bring that same discipline to founders with capital projects, complex real estate portfolios, and multi-entity structures — where a missed forecast has real consequences.

Project & Capital Accounting

Budget vs. actuals for real estate and construction. CapEx vs. operating classification, project-level P&L.

Loan Submission Packages

Financial statements and schedules organized for lender review. Loan draw preparation and coordination.

NPV / IRR Analysis

Investment analysis for real estate acquisitions, franchise opportunities, and capital projects.

Budget, Forecasting & Reporting

Formal budgeting, forecasts, actuals vs. budget, and variance analysis — the full BFR cycle.

Show Settlements

Event-night settlements for artists, collectives, venues, and presenters — gross, costs, guarantees, and splits reconciled and recorded. More on the Creatives page →

Grant & Funding Accounting

Grant budgets vs. actuals, restricted-fund tracking, and funder-ready spending reports for creative and community projects.
