In my experience many start-up and early stage companies attempt to accomplish as much as they can in house and usually end up with a mess on their hands when in comes to proper bookkeeping and accounting. While my end goal is to be able facilitate decision making for business owners, it all starts with the backbone of solid set of books. Once the books are taken care of we can then use the data provided by the bookkeeping system to provide top quality FP&A. I have been certified as a Quickbooks ProAdvisor and gone into business as a Finance & Accounting Consultant in order to address these inefficiencies and provide quality bookkeeping, consulting, forecasting, and FP&A from the ground up.
