Interim & Part-time Controller/CFO
We provide on-demand, high-level accounting expertise necessary to produce management-level financial reports that are needed to make decisions and negotiate with banks for financing.
Accounting (with a specialty in construction accounting/taxation)
Similar to providing on-demand controller/CFO services, we can help you with the ins and outs related to specialized reporting for construction firms, such as percentage of completion schedules for GAAP with tax method conversions to cash, completed contract, or accrual.
Internal Financial Reporting
Allow us to provide you with year-end or on-demand help with getting you ready for your annual, semi-annual, or quarterly financial statement audit or review. We can also provide assistance with documenting and implementing a system of internal controls that is required for a financial statement audit.
Due Diligence
We will guide you through the process of evaluating a prospective investment or business arrangement for possible omissions or misstatements so you can make an informed decision regarding the investment.
Cash Flow Projections
We will help you to develop your schedule of future cash needs for normal expenditures, capital purchases, etc. This can be weekly or monthly, and could be required for new bank financing.
QuickBooks Implementations and Training
We perform conversions to QuickBooks from other software systems, set up new business, clean up the chart of accounts, and train new personnel on best practices for your company.
Foreign Currency Translations
Financial information from foreign subsidiaries needs to be translated into U.S. currency and requires a consistent approach. We can help to develop that approach or streamline your current approach.

“Alison is great to work with. She really knows her stuff. She's very collegial and down-to-earth, and is able to explain things in a way that's easy to understand. She can break down complicated financial matters so that even if you're not the most financial type, you know what she's saying. She helps you to understand the ins and outs of accounting, interpreting nuances and recent changes. Alison is very proactive - she's always looking to improve the process. At the end of each tax season, she'd always sit down with me and look for ways to make the next year even better and smoother -- and it always was! In addition, Alison is just a very nice person."
