The work

Evidence, not opinions.

Most firms describe what they do. We would rather show you. Below are the working papers every diagnostic produces and the systems every build leaves behind. Samples are anonymized composites of real engagements. In conversation, we share the real thing.

The diagnostic · Five working papers
Working paper 01

The findings memo

Your accounting, graded across six dimensions in plain English. No jargon, no hedging. It reads the same way every engagement, because the methodology is the same every engagement.

This is the document owners hand to their banker, their partner, or their board. It answers the question that brought them in: how bad is it, actually?

Working paper 02

The walkdown

Every balance sheet account, tied to support or flagged, with the unexplained difference quantified. This is audit methodology applied to a business your size, and it is the reason our findings are specific instead of general.

A P&L can look fine for years. The balance sheet cannot. It is where every shortcut, every unposted correction, and every misclassified deposit eventually lands.

Working paper 03

The issue list

Every problem found, what it is, why it matters, and what it costs to ignore. Ranked by severity, not by ease of fixing.

This is the difference between a punch list and a diagnosis. "Some old invoices need cleanup" is not a finding. "Income is overstated and you paid tax on it" is.

Working paper 04

The close map

How your books actually get done today. Who touches what, in what order, where it stalls, and what exists only in someone's head.

Most owners have never seen their own process drawn. It is consistently the page that makes them say "no wonder."

Working paper 05

The build proposal

A fixed price, a fixed scope, and a sequenced plan to fix what the diagnostic found. It is the remediation the findings demand, not a pitch.

It is also yours. If you take it to another firm to execute, the diagnostic still did its job.

Build scopes

Scoped by the diagnostic. Never by a guess.

We do not start builds without a diagnostic. Anyone who quotes a cleanup without walking down your balance sheet first is guessing, and padding the guess. Builds land in one of three scopes.

Reset
Two to three months

Single entity. Chart of accounts rebuilt, books cleaned, a documented close installed.

Rebuild
Three to four months

Everything in Reset, plus payroll accounting policy, reconciliation cleanup, and job costing that ties.

Full install
Four to six months

Multi-entity or systems migration. The complete finance function, built and documented end to end.

The build · What it leaves behind

Systems other people can run.

A build is finished when your books are clean and the process runs without us in the room. These are the kinds of artifacts a build leaves behind.

The close, on a checklist Every step, every owner, every deadline. A close that finishes in days, not weeks, and does not live in anyone's head.
Policies that hold Written rules for the entries that go wrong most often. Payroll, corrections, accruals. Short enough that people actually follow them.
A calendar with names on it Who does what, by which day. Accountability you can read at a glance, month after month.
