Our Clientele
We work with businesses of all kinds — especially those in complex, niche, or seasonally-driven industries where most advisory firms don't have the depth to truly help.
Running a marina means managing revenue that peaks in summer and drops sharply in winter — while balancing fuel sales, slip rentals, service operations, and year-round capital maintenance. We understand the seasonal cash flow swings, the unique cost structures, and the KPIs that matter for waterfront businesses. Our advisors help marina owners gain a clear financial picture across all revenue streams and plan ahead for both the busy season and the slow months. Whether you're managing one location or multiple waterfront properties, we have the depth to genuinely help.
Government contracting comes with a level of financial complexity that most advisory firms simply aren't equipped to handle. From indirect rate structures and cost allocation methodologies to revenue recognition and contract compliance, the rules are strict and the stakes are high. We work with small and mid-sized contractors to build clean, well-structured financial systems that support growth — and that hold up under scrutiny. If you're navigating cost-plus contracts, firm-fixed-price work, or a mix of both, we know the terrain.
Between membership structures, green fee revenue, pro shop inventory, food and beverage operations, and capital-intensive infrastructure, golf course financials are far more complex than they appear from the outside. We help club operators and resort owners build financial clarity across all revenue centers, benchmark performance against industry metrics, and make smarter decisions about capital investment, staffing, and seasonal pricing. We know the difference between a well-run club and one that's leaving money on the table.
Landscaping businesses often struggle with cash flow gaps between seasons, inconsistent job costing, and thin margins that are hard to see without the right financial tools. We help landscaping and outdoor service companies understand their true cost per crew, price contracts more profitably, manage equipment depreciation, and build the cash reserves needed to weather the off-season without stress. If you're growing fast and your financials haven't kept pace, we can help you catch up and get ahead.
Hospitality businesses live and die by occupancy rates, revenue per available room, and food and beverage cost ratios — metrics that require precise, consistent tracking to manage well. We work with independent hotel owners and hospitality operators to establish clean financial reporting, monitor the KPIs that drive profitability, and build forward-looking forecasts that support confident decisions around staffing, capital improvements, and pricing strategy. We understand the industry and what the numbers actually mean.
If your industry isn't listed here, don't count yourself out. We've worked across a wide range of businesses and are always looking to expand our expertise. If you run a company with real financial complexity — whether it's seasonal, contract-based, asset-heavy, or simply one that's hard to find good advisors for — reach out. We'd love to learn about your industry and see if we're the right fit. Our best client relationships often start with a conversation like that.
