What happens next
The close, the Scorecard and the cash forecast all need somebody accountable for them between L10s. That is what the finance seat is, and it is what we do.
- The call, twenty minutesYou describe the business and where the numbers are letting you down. We tell you honestly whether we can help, and what we would start with. No pitch deck.
- We look at the fileYou give us read access to the books as they are. We come back with what is wrong, what it will take to fix, and whether the answer is bookkeeping, controller work, or something else.
- A written scope and a priceWhat we do each month, what you get, the date it lands, and the fee. Agreed before anything starts, and it does not move without you agreeing it.
- Transition, then the first closeAccess, systems, and the opening balances. The first close lands on the date in the scope, and every one after it does too.
Averan is not a CPA firm and does not file taxes. Your CPA keeps that, and we keep the books they file from.
