Support that can grow with your business

The three tiers reflect different levels of recurring support, from monthly accounting to regular reporting and controller-level advisory.

Accounting Foundation

Core

From $550 per month

For owners who want reliable monthly records, routine filings kept current, and a clear view of where the business stands.

Reporting & financial review

Growth

From $1,200 per month

For businesses that need stronger reporting, cash-flow visibility, and scheduled monthly discussions of what the numbers show.

Controller-level oversight

Strategic

From $2,800 per month

For established businesses that need recurring forecasting, profitability analysis, and fractional controller support alongside the monthly accounting and reporting.

Your proposal will confirm the services and fixed monthly fee for your business. Your fee depends on transaction volume, the number of bank and credit card accounts, payroll, and whether more than one entity is involved. Setup, catch-up, cleanup, and software migrations are quoted separately, and I'll discuss any additional work with you before it begins.

Your CPA stays your CPA.

In recent years, I have managed the accounting for 50 properties, five healthcare software companies, and an international network of seven marketing agencies.

I saw how larger organizations turn their numbers into real decisions, and how rarely a small business gets that same advantage. Anchor & Wave exists to close that gap.

Here in our community, I've started a firm of my own. I handle the accounting, tax, and advisory myself, so you work alongside the same CPA every step of the way.

Jacqueline, Director of Agency Operations

“I greatly valued his partnership and would not hesitate to recommend him to any organization looking for a highly capable finance professional and trusted business advisor.”
