If your numbers always arrive late, we should talk.

Most companies between five and fifty million in revenue are growing faster than their finance function. We work with the owners, CEOs, and COOs who feel it first.

Financials show up late, or worse, wrong.
You are making calls on numbers that are weeks old and not always right.
No forward view of cash.
Revenue looks fine, but you cannot see the cash position two months out.
Profit is a mystery by job or location.
You know the top line. You do not know which work, sites, or products actually earn.
You have outgrown your bookkeeper.
The person who got you here cannot give you the reporting and guidance you need next.

How the relationship grows.

You are not buying reconciliations and reports. You are buying an outsourced finance department whose involvement grows as your business does. Many relationships begin with bookkeeping or financial reporting and expand into Controller or Fractional CFO support as the business grows, with the same team the whole way.

Level One

Bookkeeping

Reliable financial records, closed on a schedule. The foundation everything else is built on.

  • Monthly, quarterly, or annual close
  • Reconciliations and AP / AR
  • QuickBooks and Xero, set up and run

Where most clients begin →

Level Two

Accounting & Financial Reporting

Records become information. Statements and reporting packages built around the decisions you have to make.

  • Monthly statements and reporting package
  • Budget vs. actual and KPI reporting
  • Job, location, and department profitability

See what you receive →

Level Three

Controller Services

Someone owns the accuracy. The close, the balance sheet, the controls, and the explanation of what the numbers mean.

  • Month-end close owned end to end
  • Balance sheet verified, not assumed
  • Internal controls and management reporting

The bridge as you scale →

Level Four

Fractional CFO

Financial leadership for the decisions ahead. Planning, cash flow, profitability, and growth.

  • 13-week cash flow forecasting
  • Profitability by job or segment
  • Guidance on pricing, hiring, and financing

Where we end up as you grow →

Why BAS Is Different

  • Thinks like an owner
  • Focuses on decisions, not just reports
  • Builds long-term relationships
  • Grows with the client’s business
  • Provides a complete outsourced finance function
  • Uses a documented methodology to maintain consistency and quality

Your numbers, in plain language.

Each month closes on a schedule you can plan around: reconciled statements, a rolling cash flow forecast, and a clear read on what is actually earning.

Financial statements are only worth having if you can trust them, so every balance is supported and understood before anyone talks about performance. Then we explain what the numbers mean for the decision in front of you. That is the difference between financial reports and financial clarity.
