Sound familiar?
  • Our books look done, but we don't trust the numbers.
  • Bank activity doesn't tie to Stripe or our processors.
  • Month-end close takes way too long.
  • Unreconciled balances nobody has touched in months.
  • Finance process lives in spreadsheets and people's heads.
  • Need cleanup before our audit or investor round.
→ That's exactly what we fix.
Why HMF is different

Not a bookkeeper. A senior finance-ops fixer.

Most finance help either advises without executing, or does data entry without understanding the system. We do the actual work — then we make it run without us.

01

Hands-on, senior-level

We execute the cleanup ourselves — not a deck of recommendations you have to implement.

02

Built for complex cash

Fintech and multi-system money movement: banks, processors, platforms, and GL — tied out.

03

AI-native automation

We replace the manual work permanently with auditable, AI-powered workflows.

04

Independence is the goal

We document, train your team, and hand over the keys — so you don't need us twice.

How we work

From messy to automated — in four stages

We don't just fix the symptom. We trace every dollar, close every gap, and replace every manual process with one that runs itself.

Stage 01 — Diagnose

First, we find the real problem

Most finance messes look like a reconciliation issue on the surface. Underneath there's usually a broken data pipeline, a mismatched fee setup, or a workflow that lives in someone's inbox.

We trace every discrepancy to its root in 3–5 business days and deliver a written roadmap: what's broken, why, and in what order to fix it.

Stage 02 — Clean

Then we close every gap

Armed with the diagnostic, we execute the cleanup: tying out bank-to-processor-to-GL, clearing the AR aging backlog, correcting invoice errors, and resolving months of suspended entries.

This isn't a summary and a recommendation. We do the actual work.

Stage 03 — Automate

We replace every manual workflow with AI

Once the data is clean, we build the automation layer: reconciliation pipelines, statement generation, invoice routing, exception alerts, and close checklists — using modern AI tools and your existing systems.

Every manual spreadsheet becomes an automated, auditable process.

Stage 04 — Hand off

We document it, train your team, and step back

Every workflow we build comes with plain-English documentation your team can maintain. We train your people on it, hand over the keys, and step back.

The goal is to make ourselves unnecessary. That's the whole point.

Start where the pain is biggest

Three engagements designed to match where your company actually is — most clients start small and grow the relationship.

01 — Diagnostic

Finance Ops Diagnostic

A deep read of your accounting health — bank rec status, processor tie-outs, AR/AP aging, close process, and automation gaps. You leave with a written cleanup roadmap.

AI & Automation

We automate ourselves out of a job.

We build the workflows, hand you the keys, and step back — so you never pay someone to do the same thing twice. In today's AI world, every manual finance process is a problem waiting to be solved permanently.

01

Map what's manual

Identify every spreadsheet, inbox workflow, and copy-paste — ranked by cost and risk.

02

Clean the foundation

Automation needs clean data. We reconcile and structure everything before building.

03

Build the automation

AI-powered recon pipelines, statement generation, invoice routing, and exception alerts.

04

Document and step back

Plain-English SOPs, team training, full handover. Then we're done — that's the point.

Who we help

Built for businesses where money moves through multiple systems

A great fit if you are…

  • A fintech, SaaS, or e-commerce company with processor complexity
  • A startup with messy books after a funding round
  • Approaching an audit, acquisition, or investor due diligence
  • Running multi-system cash movement (Stripe, ACH, bank, platforms)
  • A controller or CFO who needs a senior resource to execute
  • A CPA firm needing cleanup help for a messy client

Not the right fit if you need…

  • Basic transaction entry or low-cost bookkeeping
  • Tax preparation or CPA-licensed advisory work
  • A full-time in-house hire on payroll
  • High-volume data entry at a bookkeeping rate
Common questions

What companies usually ask first

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 Finance Ops Diagnostic ($750–$1,500) — 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.
