About Accord
You do the nearly impossible every day.
We help with cash flow so the nearly impossible gets easier.
Here’s how we can help:
Cash Flow Boost — Cash Flow Boost is our signature financial coaching service. With this coaching program, you hire more than a CFO. We coach entrepreneurs, business owners, and CXOs and their teams create and execute plans to boost your business cash flow. We can help you deliver 2x, 3x, or more, in operating cash flow improvements.
Outsourced CFO Services — Once we know more about your operation, financial results, and business processes, we’ll present a results-driven plan to help you with your immediate finance needs. Common problems we help solve include cash flow forecasts, annual financial plans, cost accounting, break-even analysis, new product line analysis, capital equipment investment analysis, coaching and training your finance department, and more.
Startup Advisory Services — Our team’s startup experience includes dozens of companies across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. When you engage our team to help with your startup, ways we can help include everything from the earliest stage compliance paperwork to get your company set up and organized to helping you with financial presentations to lenders and investors.
Business Exit Planning — On the flip side, we’ll work with you to maximize the value you receive from your business exit. Because business valuations depend heavily on the free cash flow your company generates, our team’s business exit planning service is a pivot on our Cash Flow Boost™ financial coaching.
General Accounting & Compliance — We also provide essential accounting and bookkeeping services including invoicing, bill pay, weekly bookkeeping, payroll, federal and state tax and compliance services, including the new federally-mandated Beneficial Ownership Information reports (BOIs).
