Working with businesses across Western New York

We work with the mix of businesses across Western New York, from family-owned operations on the East Side to fast-moving startups coming out of the region’s tech and university scene.

We know the businesses that grow here, professional services, trades and contractors, healthcare, manufacturers, hospitality, and the new wave of software and ecommerce companies across the region. Everything runs in your cloud accounting stack, so the work moves quickly, and kickoffs, quarterly reviews and board prep usually happen by video call, with in-person meetings available by arrangement.

Many owners come to us when the business has changed shape and the finance setup has not caught up with it. More moving parts, a longer list of questions, and a tax season that turns into a scramble. We take that off your plate, every account reconciled, a real monthly close, and statements you can actually read. And because controller and fractional CFO support sit on the same team, a company preparing for a loan, a buyout, or a growth push never has to go hunting for a second firm.

Buffalo accounting FAQ

How do you work with Buffalo businesses?

We work remotely with businesses across Buffalo and Western New York. Day to day the reconciliation, monthly close, reporting and reviews run in your cloud accounting stack, and kickoffs, quarterly reviews and anything a founder would rather talk through usually happen by video call, with in-person meetings available by arrangement.

What kinds of Western New York businesses do you serve?

A broad mix that reflects the WNY economy: professional services firms, contractors and trades, healthcare practices, manufacturers, restaurants and hospitality, and the growing set of software and ecommerce companies coming out of Buffalo. If your business is generating revenue and the books have stopped keeping up, we can almost certainly help, and we will tell you honestly on the first call if we are not the right fit.

Will you work with my existing Buffalo CPA?

Yes, and most clients keep their existing CPA. We are not a licensed public accounting firm and we do not file tax returns. What we do is keep your books clean and accrual-ready year-round, then hand your CPA exactly what they need before their deadlines and answer questions about the numbers. If you do not have a CPA, we can refer you to one in the Buffalo area.

How fast can a Buffalo business get started?

Usually within days. We connect your accounting platform and bank feeds, review any open items from prior periods, confirm the chart of accounts, and run your first close at month-end. If the books need cleanup first, we scope that as a separate fixed-price project before we start, so you are never paying for ongoing work on top of books that still need fixing. Engagement terms are confirmed in your proposal.

What is a reasonable price for an accountant in Buffalo?

We bill a fixed monthly fee, not an hourly rate, so there are no surprise invoices and no meter running every time you have a question. What you pay depends mainly on your revenue and transaction volume, plus things like multiple entities or inventory, so a small business pays less than a larger one. The simplest way to see a reasonable number for your situation is to use the estimator above, then we confirm a tailored quote on a short call. Engagement terms are confirmed in your proposal.

Do you meet clients in person in Buffalo?

We work remotely with businesses across Buffalo, Amherst, Williamsville, Tonawanda, Orchard Park and the rest of Western New York, with in-person meetings available by arrangement at a mutually agreed location. Day to day the accounting, monthly close and reporting run in your cloud accounting stack, and most kickoffs and reviews happen by video call.
