Budgeting & Forecasting You Can Actually Use
We start with a baseline: last year’s results, seasonality, and current pipeline. Then we build a rolling forecast and a simple monthly scorecard—so you always know if you’re on track. Expect clear variance notes (what moved and why) and next-step recommendations tied to owners and dates.
Because we’re a
business planning accountant in NY, we connect your forecast to taxes, staffing, and capital spend—so decisions support both growth and compliance.
From Strategy to Day-to-Day Execution
Plans only work if they’re simple to run. We set a cadence—monthly or quarterly—to review KPIs, update forecasts, and assign a short, focused “Do Next” list. Need deeper cash oversight? We coordinate with our
part-time CFO offering so the plan, cash, and reporting stay aligned.
Who Benefits—and How We Work Together
Owners who want clarity, growing teams that need structure, and established firms planning expansion all benefit from advisory. We begin with a discovery meeting and a light diagnostic of your books and margins. Then we prioritize the highest-impact levers—pricing, mix, labor, or overhead—and build momentum with quick wins before tackling larger projects. Serving Port Jefferson Station, St. James, and nearby Long Island communities with practical, numbers-driven guidance.
