Inside the work

Every result starts with a clear read on the numbers.

Before any strategy is built, we sit with the data — sales, margin, cash, and tax exposure — until the story behind the business is undeniable. The case studies below are what happens next.

Case Study 01 · Real Estate BrokerageProblem → Strategy → Result

From commission chaos to 6 months of operating reserves

Problem

A growing real estate brokerage was netting strong commissions but constantly short on cash by the 20th of every month. Quarterly tax bills came as a surprise. No reserves, no clarity.

Strategy
  • Implemented Profit First® allocation across five operating accounts
  • Established a tax reserve funded automatically from every closing
  • Built a 13-week cash flow forecast tied to pipeline data
  • Restructured to an S-Corp with reasonable owner compensation
Result

Within six months, the brokerage held a full operating reserve, paid quarterly taxes without stress, and the owner took a consistent paycheck for the first time in three years.

Case Study 02 · Service-Based AgencyProblem → Strategy → Result

+30% margin lift after a full CFO engagement

Problem

A $1.2M creative agency was profitable on paper but the owner couldn't explain where the money went. Pricing was inconsistent, project margins invisible, and contractor spend was unchecked.

Strategy
  • Re-engineered the chart of accounts around project profitability
  • Built monthly KPI dashboards: gross margin, utilization, AR aging
  • Introduced quarterly tax projections and an accountable plan
  • Coached the leadership team through pricing and capacity planning
Result

Gross margin climbed from 38% to 51% in twelve months. Owner pay doubled. The agency closed the year with the strongest cash position in its history.

A high-income real estate investor with a growing rental portfolio was filing reactively every April. Entity structure, depreciation, and Augusta Rule strategies were all on the table — and unused.

  • Conducted a full Cash Flow & Tax Clarity Assessment™
  • Restructured ownership across LLCs and an S-Corp management entity
  • Implemented cost segregation and bonus depreciation across the portfolio
  • Activated the Augusta Rule and an accountable plan for the operating company
Result

Reduced annual federal tax liability by over $50K in year one — with a documented multi-year strategy in place for portfolio expansion.
