Every field keeps score differently. Alder & Finch pairs you with a team that already knows the numbers behind yours, from tip reporting to job costing to deferred revenue, so nothing gets lost in translation.
Each one comes with its own reporting habits, tax exposure, and busy season. Here is how Alder & Finch handles all three.
Most small businesses do not need a bigger finance team, they need a steadier one. We run a monthly close you can rely on, keep sales tax filed on time, and plan owner pay and quarterly estimates so tax season is a review, not a scramble.
Thin margins leave no room for messy books. We track food and labor costs against sales week by week, keep tip reporting and high-volume payroll compliant, and reconcile every POS deposit so your prime cost is never a guess.
A practice earns money one chair and one provider at a time, and the books should show it. We break out per-chair and per-provider economics, keep pace with insurance reimbursement lag, and time equipment purchases so depreciation works in your favor.
The job that looked profitable at bid time can quietly lose money by punch list. We cost every job as it runs, keep WIP schedules current for your bonding company, and manage progress billing and retainage so cash arrives when the work does.
Investors read your books before they believe your deck. We keep accrual financials with deferred revenue recognized correctly, track burn and runway every month, and run R&D credit studies that hold up in diligence.
A portfolio is only as clear as its entity-level books. We keep each property and LLC clean on its own, maintain escrow and trust accounting where the rules demand it, and plan depreciation, cost segregation, and 1031 exchanges around your next move.
These six are where we spend most of our days, but they are not the whole list. Tell us how your business earns and we will tell you exactly how we would keep its books.
