OUR MISSION

We firmly believe that small and medium-sized businesses are the most vital contributors to their communities. We strive every day to not only support the growth and profit improvement of American businesses, but to enrich the lives of the owners and their families. By supporting these businesses, we can directly impact the communities they serve. We meet businesses where they are. How can we help you move forward today?


The Finance Manager provides strategic, unbiased and objective accounting advisory services which assist organizations in improving financial reporting and overall monitoring of company performance. The Finance Manager is essential in the organization, given the direct interaction with our clients. The Finance Manager is directly responsible for delivering on the value promised to our clients. The Finance Manager delivers on this value by performing an accounting Discovery identifying first writing and then working directly with clients on restructuring, executing the Project Plan. The Finance Manager uses their skills in developing people to follow standard processes to appropriately gather financial data and develop systems they have acquired to affect real, substantive, sustainable and quantifiable change. This change is documented weekly in the form of a Weekly Abacus Meeting (WAM) that shows progress against agreed to deliverables and is reviewed, in person, with the client each week prior to leaving the client’s place of work. Given the responsibilities for this position, the expectations for skills, competency, and “values fit” is high. The Finance Manager position is an employee role and, as such, does not require owning a separate entity (Corporation or LLC). The Controller may work individually or as part of a team.
