The Challenge
What was getting in the way
The starting point before we rebuilt process, reporting, or both.
The firm had grown past spreadsheet bookkeeping. Bank feeds were incomplete, advisor draws mixed with operating expenses, and month-end reports arrived too late for partner meetings.
Our Approach
What we put in place
Practical steps that created a repeatable finance rhythm.
01.
Reconciled eight months of historical activity and separated personal draws from operating costs.
02.
Rebuilt the chart of accounts around fee income, soft-dollar costs, and overhead.
03.
Installed a fixed monthly close calendar with profit & loss and balance sheet delivered before partner reviews.
Results
What changed
- Month-end close moved from ~25 days to under 10 business days.
- Partners received consistent reports ahead of weekly ops meetings.
- Tax package prep the following year started from complete, reconciled books.
