But you don’t know what you need to do to fix up your internal accounts.

You’ve set ambitious goals you don’t know how to reach, or you haven’t set any yet.

But you want to be pushed to create them and shown how the business contributes to them.

You think you could be saving more money in taxes.

But you’ve been getting tax return preparation only, not year round tax planning.

STEP 01

ESTABLISH YOUR GOALS

The first step to reaching your goals is setting them! We figure out where you stand financially today and help you create or define your goals for the future, helping you figure out what’s reasonable and when and how to get there. We do that via a GLOSS meeting (Goals, Location, Obstacles, Speed and Service).

STEP 02

GET UP TO SPEED WITH YOUR ACCOUNTING

It’s hard to make and measure progress on your financial goals when you don’t have accurate data. If you’re coming to us with books that need a clean up, we’ll get you caught up. If you’re coming to us with accurate accounting, we’ll review your taxes and see what improvements we can make to reduce your tax liability.

STEP 03

LEARN HOW TO INTERPRET YOUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO MAKE POWERFUL ASSESSMENTS

Less than 10% of business owners come to us with a real understanding of their financial statements. Your financial statements are a powerful tool for growth. Learning how to use them isn’t something you get taught when you start a business, but it is something you get taught at Whittaker. Enrolling in our financial statements course means you’ll know how your business is performing at all times and be able to adapt and improve.

STEP 04

SET KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Many business owners know they need more sales, better cash flow and higher profits, but they don’t know what drives those results or necessarily the quickest path to get there. Our KPIs course empowers you owners to uncover the 1% improvements you could be making to improve cash flow and grow your business.

STEP 05

MAKE PROGRESS ON YOUR GOALS WITH ACCOUNTABILITY

To help you stay on track with your KPIs and continue to make progress towards your goals we provide a range of services. Our Efficient Enterprise model drops in support as and when you need it, focusing on your fundamental business concerns: revenue production, profit maximization, cash flow management and tax optimization.

Provided us with the clarity and certainty that we need to manage the tax concerns within our businesses.

We have worked with other CPA’s in the past that have said they were proactive. Working with Whittaker is the first time that we have known what our tax picture would look like before the end of the tax year and what strategy levers we should pull to reduce our taxes. This has provided us with the clarity and certainty that we need to manage the tax concerns within our businesses.
