Services

Strategic finance built around your business

Tax planning, cash flow, reporting, and the strategy work in between, all handled by one tax-forward CPA who’s been working with service-business owners around Pittsburgh for over 25 years. One practitioner connecting every financial decision instead of three people with separate views of your books.

CFO-level strategy, tailored to your business

Three pillars shaped to where your business actually is, grounded in 25-plus years of working with service-business owners as both a CPA and a small-business owner myself.

Tax Strategy

Proactive tax planning that drives real savings

Tax doesn’t have to be the April surprise. I work the tax angle year-round so entity structure, owner distributions, and the timing of major decisions all line up before the calendar closes. The point is keeping more in your pocket through proactive planning. Depth flexes with the tier that fits.

  • Tax strategy mapped to capital plan
  • Owner ownership and pay decisions
  • Multi-state oversight when business expands
  • Working sessions with CPA and financial advisor

Cash Flow Management

See your cash position 13 weeks out

A clean P&L doesn’t always tell you what’s about to hit the bank account. I keep a rolling thirteen-week view current, model what the year might actually throw at you, and tighten the working capital cycle so a slow month isn’t a crisis. You see what’s coming.

  • 13-week cash visibility dashboard
  • Multi-scenario financial modeling
  • Working capital optimization
  • AP/AR and liquidity management

Reporting that drives decisions, not just documents

Good reporting makes the numbers usable, not just accurate. I set the monthly close cadence, pick the few KPIs that actually map to how your business earns, and build a dashboard you’ll open more than once. How that gets built into your business is its own walkthrough.

  • Reporting cadence that drives accountability
  • KPI frameworks with baselines and targets
  • Executive dashboards you actually use
  • Financial infrastructure that scales
