Our Core Services
We provide boutique financial clarity and cash flow management tailored for manufacturing businesses.
The Financial Clarity Gap
- Not knowing how much cash will be available in the next few weeks
- Making vendor payments without a clear cash flow plan
- Not having timely or accurate monthly financial reports
- Not understanding whether the business is truly profitable
- Confusion between sales, profit, and available cash
- Weak budgeting or no budget at all
- No clear process for reviewing financial performance
- Difficulty deciding whether to take a loan, lease equipment, or make a major purchase
- Bookkeeping that is behind, incomplete, or not useful for decision-making
- Lack of internal controls around vendor payments and cash management
- Owners feeling financially reactive instead of proactive

Frequently Asked Questions
Which types of factories do I serve?
I partner with small and mid-sized manufacturing businesses that need expert bookkeeping and strategic financial oversight. My services are ideal for owners who require high-level financial structure and cash flow clarity but are not yet ready to hire a full-time, in-house CFO to manage their operations.
What will I provide in my monthly service?
My monthly service package includes dedicated bookkeeping, invoice management, vendor payment planning, and my signature weekly 1:1 meetings. I also provide 13-week cash flow forecasting, budget analysis, and a comprehensive monthly financial package to ensure you have total clarity on your performance.
How do I differ from a standard bookkeeper?
While a bookkeeper records history, I focus on your future. Beyond just organizing transactions, I help you interpret your numbers, optimize cash flow, and pre-plan vendor payments. My goal is to transform your financial data into a roadmap that allows you to manage your manufacturing business with proactive confidence.
Do I specialize in cash flow forecasting?
Yes, it is a cornerstone of my work. I develop a detailed 13-week cash flow forecast for your business, which we review together in our weekly sessions. This allows me to help you anticipate payroll needs, plan for major vendor bills, and manage equipment payments long before they become urgent stressors.
Can I assist with budgeting and analysis?
Absolutely. I build custom budgets for your business and perform regular actual-vs-budget reviews to keep you on track. I explain the variances in simple terms, providing the financial analysis you need to understand your margins, overhead, and overall manufacturing profitability.
Can I help you evaluate major equipment leases or loans?
I can. I act as your financial sounding board when you are considering major purchases or financing. I analyze the deep impact of loans or leases on your cash flow and long-term profitability, ensuring every financial commitment you make supports the health of your factory.
Which accounting software do I utilize?
I primarily work within QuickBooks Online and can help you optimize your setup for maximum efficiency. Whether it is improving your internal reporting or streamlining your payroll and invoicing, I ensure your software is configured to provide the financial controls you need.
What business size is the best fit for me?
I provide the most value to manufacturing businesses with annual revenues between $1 million and $8 million. My pricing tiers start at $1,500 for businesses under $2M, $2,500 for those under $4M, and $3,500 for those above $4M. If you exceed $8M, I can help you transition to a larger firm or an internal team.
What if you already have a tax accountant?
I encourage it. My role does not replace your tax professional; instead, I serve as the bridge between your daily operations and your year-end filing. I work directly with them because I speak their language, ensuring your books are always pristine, organized, and ready for tax season.
Do I manage sales tax and payroll tasks?
If you handle these through QuickBooks, I can manage them as part of my monthly oversight. This includes reviewing your payroll data for accuracy, ensuring tax balances are recorded correctly, and maintaining a structured process so you never have to worry about the details of compliance.
