What Good Bookkeeping Can Do for You
How Scalable Does It Better
You need to know your numbers.
I know this is a constant refrain of mine, but if you don’t know your numbers, you do not know your business.
But hiring a bookkeeper to get your financials in order is only the first step.
Once you’ve got your reporting cleaned up, you’ll need to review it extensively until you can do the following.
Articulate your costs
Estimate your tax obligations
Time your inflows and outflows
Identify unnecessary expenditures
Without this level of visibility, you’ll miss out on the opportunity to:
Price strategically
Optimize cash flow
Lean out your operations
With these insights at your fingertips, you’ll be able to double down on what’s working, conserve time and resources by tossing out what isn’t, and reap better margins as a result.
After countless requests, Scalable CFO launched bookkeeping services.
But first, a bit about what we do differently and who this is for.
The “Two-Close” Model
We’ll get through your financials within 10 days. We call this pass the “soft” close.
While this first close doesn’t include full bank reconciliation, journal entries, and the whole shebang, it DOES get you:
A working set of numbers within an acceptable variance
A 100-200% increase in speed so you can focus on your business while we get you the full, “hard” close in 10-15 days.
One reason we can do this is because we understand numbers better than the average bookkeeper. As Fractional CFOs, the financials are less about the numbers and far more about the story they tell.
Because we manage books like we handle finances—with the right context and impeccable accuracy—we have a bit of an unfair advantage here.
So, who is this for?
Our focus is on businesses in the $250k+ annual revenue range.
Why You Should Hire Us
We’re not your average bookkeeper.
Because we’re CFOs by trade, we can do something that other bookkeeping firms can’t.
We understand the pulse of your business.
Because strategic finance and bookkeeping by themselves are useless unless you understand the context.
But that’s enough about me.
Here’s a quick story about one of our clients.
One of our CFO clients brought us in to handle the books for one of their entities.
It seems they’ve had a good experience because we’re now doing the bookkeeping for nearly 10 of their entities.
