We untangle the accounting problems your team keeps pushing to next month.

Bookkeepers record transactions and CPAs handle tax and attest work. We sit in between and above: we find and fix the reason your bank, processors, invoices, and accounting system don't tie out — then automate the workflows so the problem doesn't come back. We're a cleanup and operations partner, not a tax preparer or a low-cost data-entry service.

Most companies start with a free discovery call and a Finance Ops Diagnostic — the lowest-risk way to see what we'd find. From there, a Cleanup Sprint runs $3,000–$8,000 depending on scope, and ongoing Monthly Finance Ops Partner support runs $4,000–$8,000/month. You only move to the next step if it makes sense.

A diagnostic typically takes 3–5 business days once we have access to your records. The discovery call is free and usually surfaces 2–3 cleanup opportunities on the spot.

We're based in Houston, TX and work with clients remotely across the U.S. Cash movement and accounting systems are cloud-based — we don't need to be in your office to fix them.

We work with the minimum access needed for the engagement, prefer read-only or scoped permissions wherever possible, and keep sensitive client-identifiable data out of any AI tools unless it has been sanitized. Everything we build is documented so your team retains full control.

When bank deposits don't match Stripe's reported sales, the gap almost always lives in one of six places: (1) Processor fees netted out of payouts — Stripe deposits gross sales minus fees, so the fee has to be booked separately. (2) Payout timing — sales on the last day of the month settle to the bank days later, creating a cutoff difference. (3) Refunds and chargebacks deducted from later payouts. (4) Reserves Stripe holds and releases on a delay. (5) Consolidated payouts across multiple accounts or currencies landing on one line. (6) Adjustments and disputes buried in the balance-transaction report, not the payout summary. The fix: reconcile against Stripe's balance transactions (not the payouts dashboard), book fees and refunds to their own accounts, and treat in-transit payouts as a reconciling item. Map those six and the "unexplained" variance usually goes to zero — and the same structure works for any processor.

A three-week close is rarely a people problem — it's a sequencing problem. The time usually disappears into three things: waiting on data that arrives late (bank feeds, processor reports, vendor bills), redoing reconciliations because the source data changed, and chasing approvals over email. Compress it by (1) building a dated close checklist with an owner and deadline for every task, (2) front-loading the reconciliations that don't depend on anyone else (bank, processor, payroll) to the first two days, (3) automating the repetitive pulls and tie-outs so they run identically every cycle, and (4) replacing email approvals with a single tracked checklist. Most teams find half their close is waiting, not working. Remove the waiting and the close shrinks on its own — without hiring.

Fintech and payments companies break standard reconciliation because money doesn't move in clean single steps. Three line items cause most of the pain: (1) ACH returns — a payment that cleared can reverse days later, so a "matched" transaction un-matches retroactively; you need a returns-aware match that looks across periods. (2) Reserves — partners hold a percentage and release it on a delay, so cash on hand never equals revenue; reserves need their own tracked account. (3) Interchange & revenue share — net settlement bundles interchange, fees, and revenue share into one figure that must be decomposed to book revenue correctly. Add suspense entries for anything that doesn't match same-day, and reconcile life-to-date rather than month-to-month so timing differences self-correct. This is the structure we've used across multi-program settlement environments.
