SHEET / 02 — METHOD
A four-step process that keeps your books audit-ready
Every engagement follows the same disciplined sequence—intake, cleanup, execution, and review. Each stage is documented, reconciled, and signed off before moving forward, so nothing gets missed and decisions stay traceable.
M-01
Intake
We confirm entities, access, deadlines, and deliverables, then collect source documents and system logins so the work starts clean and stays on schedule.
M-02
Clean Up
We reconcile accounts, categorize activity, and fix carryforward issues. You get a clear baseline and a list of open questions before anything is filed.
M-03
Execute
We complete monthly close, payroll coordination, and tax work per the agreed plan—documenting assumptions and keeping reports consistent period to period.
M-04
Review & Deliver
We review for accuracy, reasonableness, and compliance, then deliver finalized reports and next steps—so your records hold up to lender, investor, or IRS review.
SHEET / 06 — CLIENT NOTE
Erik’s method is as consistent as it is thorough: clean books, clear tax projections, and deadlines that don’t sneak up on you. We finally feel in control of our numbers—and confident in every decision tied to them.
