Partnering with small business owners with annual revenues under $10 million.

Empower your business with tailored financial solutions that enhance cash flow management, provide accurate forecasting, and support forward-looking strategies.  Our services provide the strategic support you need to thrive and grow without the cost of a full-time FP&A team or a CFO.

Growth Powered by Planning for the Unknowns

As small business owners ourselves, we know the challenges you face. Managing operations, HR, IT, sales, and family life can make sustained growth feel impossible. Filing for extensions and waiting until September for your tax return only adds to the uncertainty. You shouldn’t have to navigate this alone or hire a full-time CFO with a FP&A team. At Islands East Financial Solutions, we empower you with the tools and insights to simplify your financial journey, turning challenges into opportunities for growth.

Our Approach:

  • You get a partner that understands your personal goals and your business goals so we are aligned on the priorities.
  • We support a review and rewrite of your business plan to remain focused on the mission, vision and strategy.
  • Implement forecasting processes and monthly financial reporting practices so that your tax liabilities and cash flow are no longer unknowns.
  • Assessment of your risks with recommendations of how to reduce your vulnerabilities.
  • Review your employee benefits, including your own retirement plans, to ensure you can hire and retain quality employees while maximizing your tax credits and deductions.
  • Collaborate with your CPA (or one of our CPA partners) to maintain alignment on strategies.
  • Enhance your financial well-being to fuel your long-term growth and value.
