Bookkeeping is the foundation: accurate records, reconciled accounts, clean financial statements. CFO advisory is the strategy built on top — budgeting, forecasting, cash flow analysis, profitability optimization, and helping you make data-driven decisions. Most of my clients benefit from both.
Pick the layer of financial partnership you need.
From precise bookkeeping to full strategic advisory — three engagement tiers designed as a continuum. Most clients start with the Foundation and grow into CFO advisory as their business scales.

A few things people ask.
Still curious? A strategy call is the best place to get a direct answer for your specific situation.
Book a Strategy Call →What is the difference between bookkeeping and CFO advisory?
How is this different from hiring a full-time CFO?
A full-time CFO can cost $150K to $250K or more per year. With Ledger Clarity, you get strategic financial leadership from me plus a dedicated team handling your bookkeeping and reporting — all at a fraction of that cost, scaled to your size and stage.
I already have a bookkeeper. Can I just add CFO advisory?
Possibly. We would start with a strategy call to understand your current setup. In many cases the most effective approach is having both your bookkeeping and advisory handled by the same partner, so strategy is built directly on the data — but I am happy to discuss what makes sense for your situation.
What industries do you specialize in?
Primarily technology, healthcare, and financial services. That said, my 20+ years of corporate accounting experience translates well across industries. If you are generating $500K+ and need financial strategy, let's talk.
Do I have to use QuickBooks Online?
Yes. QBO is the foundation of how we work — the best cloud-based platform for the real-time reporting and visibility growing businesses need. If you are not on QBO yet, I can handle the migration.
How do we work together remotely?
Everything is cloud-based. I serve clients across the United States using QBO, secure file sharing, and video calls. Geography is not a barrier.
Not sure which tier fits? Let's figure it out together.
A 30-minute strategy call is the fastest way to find the right starting point. No pitch — just a direct conversation about what your business actually needs.
