Pay yourself right. Grow on purpose.

Service businesses grow one customer and one employee at a time. We help you set your own pay, see what each location or crew earns, and line up the financing when it’s time to grow.

What we handle for service businesses

  • Owner pay and reasonable compensation for S corporation owners
  • Profitability by location, crew or service line
  • Cash flow forecasting through busy and slow seasons
  • Lender-ready financial statements when it’s time to borrow
  • Opening a second location or adding a service line
  • Owner tax planning, coordinated with the business every quarter

Questions owners ask us

How much should I pay myself from my S corporation?

Enough to count as reasonable compensation for the work you do. The IRS expects S corporation owners who work in the business to take a real salary before taking distributions. We set a number you can defend, based on your role and what you’d pay someone else to do it.
