A forward-thinking tax, accounting, and planning solution for business owners

Serving business owners with annual revenues between $1 million – $10 million.

Growth is Painful Without a Plan

As a business owner, you are busier than ever.  Managing client relationships, overseeing operations, and driving growth demand your constant attention.  Yet, your current accounting firm focuses on last year’s data, making it too late to implement effective tax strategies.  The uncertainty about your next tax bill makes you hesitant to invest in new opportunities, stalling your business’s potential growth.

You are being pulled in a million different directions.  Balancing your family and business responsibilities leaves little time to focus on much else.  Without a financial background, coordinating the complex moving parts of your financial situation can feel overwhelming and unmanageable.

The Most Powerful Integrated Accounting Service Available to Business Owners

At Fiduciary CFO, we take an integrated approach to your business finances that helps you make more confident financial decisions. Every month, we ensure that your books are clean and accurate. We then take it to the next level and prepare multiple tax projections throughout the year to ensure we adjust your tax plan based on fluctuating income. Finally, we go beyond your books and look to the future of your business through budgeting, forecasting, and goal setting. We fine-tune your business and personal financial goals and coordinate with your financial advisor to ensure your financial progress keeps moving forward.

With Fiduciary CFO, you get:

 

  • A one-of-a-kind, all-inclusive tax, accounting, and business planning package designed for business owners.
  • Monthly meetings, so you always know your business’s current financial health, allowing you to make confident financial decisions professionally and personally.
  • Proactive, planning-centric tax advice, not just a recap of what happened last year after it is too late to make adjustments.
  • Year-round attention with easy access to your CPA anytime (even during tax season).
  • An executive team that includes a forward-thinking CPA and a tax-conscious CFP® professional.
  • Seamless communication and collaboration with your financial advisor (and any other outside advisors), ensuring everyone is on the same page and working towards the best outcomes.

Our white-glove service includes all of the following:

Monthly Accounting

The foundation of all good planning begins with timely and clean books. We work in your books monthly to make sure everything is properly recorded and ready for taxes. We also use this information to help build your cash flow plan.

Business income can fluctuate greatly depending on market movement. We do multiple tax projections each year to make sure there are no surprises at tax time. As a part of our all-inclusive services, we also will prepare the following:

  • Business Tax Return and K1s
  • 1099s
  • Personal Tax Returns of All Owners
  • Multiple Tax Projections for All Owners

Tax Preparation & Planning

CFO Leadership

Clean books are necessary for taxes, but budgeting and forecasting are essential for making sound business decisions. Knowing how you are spending your money and planning for future income and expenses will ensure your bucket stays full.

  • Customized Financial Statements tailored to your specific needs and business structure.
  • A Business Cash Flow Budget to help understand what cash you really have to use for owner distributions, firm reinvestment, or outside investment.
  • Benchmarking Analysis to measure against industry standards, leading to informed decisions that drive competitive advantage and improvement.
  • Business Goal Setting and Accountability to ensure you always have a plan and are working towards the next milestone.

We are intentional when it comes to the “other” areas of your business, where a second (or third) set of eyes can be critical to plug holes, or capture opportunities.  We’ll provide our professional insight on any matter, and where appropriate, can coordinate with outside professionals/legal counsel in areas that are beyond our expertise.  Areas we examine include (but aren’t limited to):

  • HR / Employee Benefits / Compensation Structures
  • Partnership Agreements / Buy-Sell Agreements
  • Business Continuity & Disaster Planning
  • Internal Processes, Both Financial and Client Service
  • Commercial + E&O Insurance Coverage

Executive Team Insight

Business Owner Toolkit

Our Business Owner Toolkit is designed to ensure your personal and family goals are being proactively managed.  We work alongside your outside advisors to make sure critical items are being taken care of, focusing on areas important to you and your spouse.

  • Personal Insurance Coverage
  • Estate Planning
  • Gifting Strategies
  • Personal Cash Flow Planning / Cash Management

These are examples of critical blind spots that many business owners miss. If you do not have outside advisors, we know many trusted professionals and are happy to make introductions.

We work exclusively with business owners because we live it, know it, and love it.

We ARE business owners.  We get it.   

Our experience over the last 20 years working with business owners have shaped our mindset regarding the CPA and advisor-client relationship.  Business owners’ personal finances are closely tied to the health of their businesses.  We launched Fiduciary CFO so business owners can experience a more integrated and proactive approach to their finances.

More FAQs

We use QuickBooks Online in order to efficiently serve our clients.  We have a strong preference for all clients to use QBO.  If you are using QuickBooks desktop or another accounting software, we can discuss the transition process so we can most efficiently work together.

We file your business tax return, issue K1s (if applicable) and file the personal tax return for all partners/shareholders.

Yes.  As part of our ongoing tax planning, we will calculate (and update as necessary) estimate taxes due for all partners/shareholders. 

Yes on a case by case basis. Retroactive accounting/tax prep outside of the regular Fiduciary CFO work would be billed separately and varies based on complexity.

Yes. Fiduciary CFO is powered by Wright Accounting Group, LLC. Kitrina Wright, CPA / Wright Accounting Group, LLC would represent your firm (or you individually) in the event of an audit.

Well, it depends.  For instance, we aren't interested in just doing monthly accounting or just doing tax prep.  If the business has someone in-house doing the monthly accounting work but they really need the tax planning & CFO, that could work.  If the business just needs an outsourced bookkeeper, that's not what we're looking for.  Reach out to us with the need and we'll see if it makes sense.

No we do not, but we will work with you or your staff to streamline and/or automate those processes.

Schedule a 30-minute Zoom call with us to discuss your firm’s needs, and we'll take it from there! Click the Schedule An Intro Call button in the navigation to find a time that works.

We aim to onboard no more than 2 new clients per month, so that we can devote adequate time getting up to speed with each new client. With this limit, we avoid negatively impacting the level of attention that existing clients receive.

We are built to serve, not built to scale. Therefore, we are working with a limited number of clients to provide the comprehensive, high-touch experience our clients deserve.
