how we support your business:

As your creative business grows, the financial side becomes more layered - more clients, more projects, more product sales, and systems that need to work together.  That's where we come in.  Our Tennessee and Virginia-based team with CPA / EA accounting professionals provide year-round strategic support that brings structure to your systems, reliability to your data, and calm clarity to your decisions.  

 

Instead of piecing things together on your own, you get support that helps you stay ahead - with streamlined accounting, proactive tax strategy, and cash-flow guidance designed for your next stage of growth.  And with customized service packages, you get exactly what you need, delivered with care and attention.

After our call, you'll receive a Customized Service Package Proposal tailored to your business.  The Proposal will include (1) an Onboard Project (if needed,) and (2) a Monthly (or Quarterly) Service for your accounting and advisory support.   

Once the Service Package Agreement is signed, we begin the Onboard Project to set up, clean up, and optimize your systems.  This is often required if you have previous transactions to organize or previous tax returns to file.  

 

We'll schedule a kickoff Zoom to go over the process and share a checklist for providing access to your software and documents.  You will receive periodic updates or follow up questions as we complete the Onboarding.

After Onboarding and Optimizing is complete, we then transition to Monthly (or Quarterly) Services based on your Service Package.  This is where your business benefits from year-round, strategic support.  

 

Each month (or quarter,) we schedule flexible workblocks so you have time to share documents, stay ahead of deadlines, and get your questions answered in real time.
