Business Management Consultant in Acworth, GA
Advisory services for the questions that come up between the monthly reports: can I afford to hire, where is the cash going, is this the right app for us. Answered from your actual numbers by the person who keeps them.
Advisory services included
DIY bookkeeping reviews
You keep the books; Beryl reviews them, fixes what needs fixing and tells you what to change. For owners who want a second set of eyes, not a hand-over.
Quarterly or semi-annual reviews
A sit-down over the statements every three or six months, with the trends named and the next quarter’s decisions on the table.
Financial health checkups
Margin, cash runway, receivables ageing and debt, read once and explained in plain words, with the two or three things to act on.
Cash flow planning before hiring or major investments
A first employee, a vehicle, a lease, a second location: the plan shows what the business can carry and when.
Workflow process improvement
How money moves from the customer to the bank to the books, tightened so fewer things fall through.
App integration and automation
BILL, Gusto, Square, Stripe, Clover and the rest connected so data moves without rekeying, recommended only where it earns its fee.
Business growth advisory sits across all of these: the standing conversation about where the business is going and what the numbers say about getting there.
Who asks for this
Owners in Cobb County and beyond at the point where the business works and the decisions have outgrown gut feel. The contractor on the I-75 corridor deciding whether the second crew pays for itself. The shop owner wondering why a good month left less in the bank than a slow one. The nonprofit director who needs the board to understand the statements. Advisory work here is practical and priced by the engagement, not a retainer for its own sake.
Advisory on its own, or with the books
Most advisory clients also use Remote Bookkeeping Services, because advice built on reconciled numbers is worth more than advice built on a bank balance. Reviews of books you keep yourself, and one-off projects such as a cash flow plan before a hire, are available on their own.
Who does the work
Beryl Williams owns Certified ProBooks and does the work herself. She has a Bachelor’s degree, more than twenty years in bookkeeping and payroll, and is a QuickBooks ProAdvisor certified at Level 2, a QuickBooks Business Affiliate and an ADP Accountant Connect certified partner. She is based in Acworth, in Cobb County, and works with clients across the country. You can read what other owners say on her Google profile.
Questions people ask before they book
Is this the same as a CPA or a fractional CFO?
No, and the difference matters. This is bookkeeping-grounded advisory: what the numbers say and what to do about it in a small business. Income tax strategy and audited statements are referred to a CPA.
How often would we meet?
Quarterly is the most common rhythm. Semi-annual reviews suit steadier businesses; a one-off project is a single engagement.
Can you review books I keep myself?
Yes. A DIY bookkeeping review is exactly that, and pairs well with QuickBooks Online Setup & Training.
How is advisory priced?
By the engagement, agreed after the free consultation, so you know the cost before the first review.
