Entrepreneurship is the process by which folks combine resources to create other resources. Steeped in passion, drive & creativity, entrepreneurs are guided by a vision of empowerment and/or improvement. We often measure the performance of entrepreneurship with its alignment to the vision and compliance to the mission. Finance and Accounting are critical in developing sustainable entrepreneurship as these tools allow us to understand the cost of this passion and its ability to sustain. To support this great endeavor, I can guide your business model through the litmus test of profitability, liquidity, solvency. This will consist of:

·      Devising a business structure which minimizes your business and personal tax liabilities

·      Creating an operating agreement which supports current and future business needs

·      All necessary filings to tax agencies

·      Financial accounting strategy and setup

·      Cost accounting to assess feasibility of business model

·      Devising a capital structure that minimizes your cost of capital to inform future funding decisions

Small business is anything but small business. Each small business is a micro-economy, capable of adapting to new environments and servicing multiple community needs. Like any economy, the managers of small businesses work to balance the psychology of decision making (brand alignment, supply & demand, strategic partnerships) with their available resources, maximizing their return. These managers need timely and accurate reporting & analysis of their operations so they can move quickly and evaluate constantly. I will setup your accounting functions and provide the necessary analysis so owners & managers can get the insights they needs to make informed financial decisions. These insights include:

• ·      Developing month end close procedures

  ·      Reconciliation of any historical accounts

  ·      Financial accounting  for investors, creditors & 3rd party agencies

  ·      Tax accounting to minimize tax liabilities

  ·      Managerial accounting for internal users

  ·      Payroll Accounting

  ·      Software and intelligence tools Implementation

Corporations operate on an entirely new level. More capital, more investments of that capital & a more nuanced understanding of that capital. Your goal is to maximize shareholder wealth. However,  In growing the resources of your business, so too have you grown your obligations to customers, employees & your community.

I will work with your company to assess and assist in the following operations:

·      Financial Statement analysis to assess shareholder wealth
