The journey from chaos to clarity just became official.
We’re excited to announce that our signature methodology, Accounting Clarity®, is now a federally registered trademark. But this isn’t just a legal milestone. It’s recognition of a proven process we’ve refined over years of partnership with mission-driven nonprofits and growth-minded entrepreneurs.
If you’ve ever felt like your financial operations are holding your business back instead of propelling it forward, this is for you.
What Is Accounting Clarity®?
Accounting Clarity® is our five-phase proven process designed to help businesses and nonprofits achieve three critical outcomes:
- Support profitable growth
- Protect your assets
- Amplify your impact
Unlike traditional accounting firms that simply close your books each month, we partner with you through a strategic journey. From the moment we meet to the day you’re operating with complete financial confidence, every phase builds on the last to create lasting clarity and sustainable success.
Why “Clarity” Matters
Most business leaders don’t know what they don’t know when it comes to accounting and finance. They may not have the expertise to manage a full accounting department, or confidence that the right systems, processes, and protections are in place and regularly updated.
That’s where we come in.
Accounting Clarity® creates a sense of optimism and confidence for entrepreneurs and nonprofits by ensuring their accounting processes provide clarity on their current and future financial situation. With that clarity, you can make the right decisions and act on them with conviction.
The Five Phases of Accounting Clarity®
Our process is intentionally structured to reflect our core values: Commitment, Foresight, Relationships, Tenacity, and Teamwork. Each phase brings you closer to complete financial transparency and strategic advantage.
Phase 1: Relationship
We start by truly understanding you.
Before we touch a single spreadsheet, we take time to connect, discover your unique challenges, and understand your goals. Through our value workshop, we assess where you are and where you want to be. Then we create a customized proposal that addresses your specific needs.
Key activities: Connect, Discover, Value Workshop, Proposal
Phase 2: Teamwork
We become part of your team.
Once we partner together, we move quickly to integrate with your operations. You’ll receive a welcome letter, meet your dedicated team members, and participate in a comprehensive kickoff meeting. This is where we establish clear expectations, communication rhythms, and access to your financial systems.
Key activities: Contract Execution, Team Assignment, Welcome Letter, Kickoff Meeting
Phase 3: Tenacity
We dig deep to establish your financial foundation.
This is where the real work begins. We conduct a comprehensive balance sheet review and reconciliation, implement best practices for accounting and finance, identify inefficiencies, and establish baseline financials with full supporting work papers. We also complete critical compliance work including internal controls assessments, 1099 reviews, payroll questionnaires, and registration requirements.
You’ll receive your first set of comprehensive financials during this phase, showing you exactly where you stand.
Key activities: Balance Sheet Review and Reconciliation, Best Practices Implementation, Efficiency Identification, Baseline Financials Establishment
Phase 4: Commitment
We deliver consistent, reliable financial operations.
Once your foundation is solid, we shift into ongoing partnership mode. This is where you experience the full power of our blended team approach. Our accountants handle day-to-day transactions like accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll. Our controllers prepare, analyze, and present your financial statements including profit and loss, balance sheet, budget, cash flow, KPIs, and dashboards. Our CFOs provide strategic review, oversight, and guidance.
You’ll receive timely and accurate financial statements, robust internal controls with quality review, actionable insights from your numbers, and strategic business reviews to keep you on track.
Key activities: Monthly Close Process, Financial Statement Preparation, Internal Controls, Strategic Reviews
Phase 5: Foresight
We help you see around corners and plan for what’s next.
True partnership means looking ahead, not just backwards. In this phase, we provide strategic planning support, enhanced reporting for business insights, special projects to address your unique and evolving needs, and financial coaching and education for your team.
Annual activities include 1099 preparation and filing, budget and cash flow forecasting, tax return and audit preparation, insurance audits, and our proprietary Clarity Score assessment to measure your financial health.
One-time projects might include software conversions, chart of accounts modifications, staff training, process automation, changes in accounting methods, or custom KPI dashboard development.
Key activities: Strategic Planning, Enhanced Reporting, Special Projects, Financial Coaching, Annual Compliance
What Makes Accounting Clarity® Different
It’s about the journey, not just the destination.
The Accounting Clarity® visual depicts positive, forward-moving direction. At a time when most prospects have a financial or business challenge and are uncertain how to solve it, our proven process provides a clear path forward to solving their pain and moving their organization ahead.
We focus on achieving and maintaining financial clarity as an aspirational goal. This isn’t a goal or focus of other firms. Our Clarity Score plays a core role in the process, setting the stage for where our relationship begins and providing a roadmap for how we partner over time.
We’re EOS-driven. Since implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System® in our own business, we’ve gained clarity, improved our focus, and created a healthy, functional leadership team. We’ve grown far beyond our wildest dreams. Working with us for your accounting and financial needs means we’ll bring that expertise and perspective to your business, too.
