Three verticals make up most of the roster. Each one has a chart-of-accounts texture that breaks generic bookkeeping and a regulatory cadence that punishes drift. We've spent years building the patterns for them.
Syndications, factor rates, reserve accounting, charge-offs handled in the GL the way underwriters need to see them.
Multi-entity, payroll-heavy P&Ls. Payor mix, RVU-adjacent reporting, and tight payroll-tax discipline.
Percentage-of-completion, retainage, WIP. Job-cost accuracy that survives an audit and a bonding-company review.
Real depth means we've already seen the failure modes before they show up in your books. Generic bookkeeping fails on these three verticals because their chart-of-accounts texture doesn't fit a default chart, and the patches that work for a quarter or two stop working at the worst possible time — usually an audit, a bonding-company review, or a state-board notice. MCA needs deal-as-entity ledger structure because syndications can't be flattened into a portfolio asset account without losing the underwriter's view. Healthcare needs multi-entity consolidation (PC plus MSO plus management company) because the class-tracking shortcut inside one QuickBooks file breaks during an audit. General contractors need percentage-of-completion plus retainage discipline because the bonding company will ask for a WIP schedule that ties to the GL on every reporting date, and the schedule that ties to the project-management system usually doesn't.
The three verticals on this page are the ones the firm has built the patterns for. That doesn't mean we don't take engagements outside them — it means engagements inside them get a head start. The chart of accounts is rebuilt against a template that's already absorbed the failure modes from prior clients in the same vertical. The agents are tuned to that vertical's transaction patterns before the first close. The reporting cadence anticipates the regulatory cadence — bonding review, payor true-up, state-board notice, sales-tax filing windows. Nothing about the work is generic, and nothing about the work is reinvented per engagement.
What's not on this page is deliberate. The firm has run engagements in SaaS, e-commerce, professional services, and a handful of one-off verticals. Those are fine engagements and we don't regret taking them; they're just not where the firm has built specific institutional knowledge. The honest answer for a SaaS company is that any decent CPA firm can do the work, and "we picked PC Financials because they have specialized SaaS depth" would be a marketing claim, not a real one. We'd rather be specific about depth where it actually is.
If your industry isn't on this page, the intro call is still the right next step. The diagnostic is the same. If it turns out we're a fit you'll know inside the thirty minutes — and if not, we'll point you to a firm that is one and stay out of the way.
Thirty minutes. Tell us which industry, what the close currently looks like, and the two or three things that hurt. Written scope within the week if we're a fit.
