Discovery

  • Step #0: Proposal Review and Discovery

    This step is designed to orient you to our process solution, while building a shared vision of your accounting and tax structure and processes.

Design

  • Step #1: Launch Meeting

    Our first goal is to familiarize ourselves with the current state of your accounting systems, while investigating your transaction history. We discuss and determine a working framework for improved accounting practices, develop goals, and determine key performance indicators (KPI).

  • Step #2: Build Accounting System

    Now, we are ready to design and document improved accounting function and practices. We review and refine your chart of accounts and determine a set of rules for posting transactions. We will prepare check lists, procedures, and reporting formats.

  • Step #3: Activation Presentation

    Culminating our design stage, we present our detailed plan to improve and support your accounting functions. We determine our meeting rhythm, procedures, and performance management system.

Administer

  • Step #4: Transaction Management

    Moving ideas to action, we now administer and support financial, managerial, and tax accounting activities. Completeness and accuracy are assured through regular audits. We reconcile accounts and prepare month end reports. An action journal is developed and managed, building a system of transparency and accountability.

Analyze

  • Step #5: Month End Close Out Meeting

    Here we prepare and present monthly financial statements. Issues and concerns are communicated and out of conformance transactions rectified, as needed. We make recommendations, based on data analysis and experience. We review and refine the action journal, and install a rhythm of review, preview, and make decisions (RPM).

Advise

  • Step #6: Calibration Meeting

    This is a quarterly meeting designed to discuss organizational performance against goals and KPIs. In detail, we discuss accounting system performance and organizational outcomes. Together, we determine what’s working and what needs to be improved.

Our model is built as a process solution. We take care to understand the current state of your accounting systems and work closely with you to build structures and processes that produce more predictable, quality results.

We leverage the latest paperless technology, accounting software, and cloud storage to perform tasks easily, efficiently and in a highly secure environment.
