I am a certified public accountant. Alongside a full-time role I take on a small number of engagements — most often a close that has quietly stretched from five days to fifteen, or books that need to be caught up before someone else looks at them.
Schedule of services
Reconciliations, accruals, journal entries and supporting schedules. Extra hands through close, or a second set of eyes on the ones that never quite tie.
Books six months behind, a year that needs closing before a lender will look at it, or a file that has drifted since the last person left. Work most firms will not take on mid-year.
Chart of accounts design, migrations, and untangling a file that has accumulated a few years of shortcuts. Certified ProAdvisor.
Revenue recognition and lease accounting, with the memo that supports the position — written before an audit asks rather than after.
Background
Three years in tax, two in general ledger accounting, and currently a fund accountant. The consulting started when a former employer asked for help through a difficult close, and has continued since.
I take one or two engagements at a time. That is the honest constraint of doing this alongside a full-time role, and it means the work gets real attention rather than sitting behind a book of clients. If I am not the right fit, I will say so in the first conversation rather than the third.
Tell me what is going on with your close or your books, and roughly when it needs to be sorted. I will reply with whether I can help and what it would cost.
