What Most Business Owners Are
Dealing With Right Now

Sound familiar? This is what we hear from almost every new client before they come to us.

Behind on books — no idea where money actually went
CPA shows up at tax time, then disappears for 12 months
Paying too much in taxes because nobody found the deductions
Stressed every quarter about estimated payments and deadlines
No financial reports — making business decisions by feel
Scared an IRS audit could destroy everything overnight
✓ After Hykes Financial Group
Books are clean, current, and always accessible online
Year-round advisor who knows your business — not a stranger at tax time
Maximum legal deductions found and documented before filing
Quarterly estimates calculated — no surprises, no penalties
Monthly P&L reports so you always know exactly where you stand
Audit-ready books with documentation on file — sleep easy

Everything You're Wondering
Before You Book

We get these questions on almost every first call. Here are the real answers — no fluff.

How fast can you get my books caught up?
Most clients who come to us 6–12 months behind are fully caught up within 2 weeks. Clients who are 2–3 years behind typically take 3–4 weeks depending on volume. We've never failed to catch someone up — no matter how messy it is when we start.
What if I'm already using a bookkeeper or CPA?
We handle the entire transition. We'll request your records directly from your current provider, review everything, and make sure there's zero gap in your bookkeeping. Most clients are surprised by how painless it is to switch.
Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
Absolutely not. We're month-to-month on every plan. We believe in earning your business every single month — not locking you in. Our 98% retention rate exists because clients choose to stay, not because they have to.
What software do you use? Do I need QuickBooks?
We're certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors and use QBO as our primary platform. If you don't have it, we'll set it up for you at no extra charge. If you're using another system, we'll migrate your data and get you set up properly.
I own a tobacco shop — do you work with retailers?
Yes — retail and cash-heavy businesses are a specialty. We understand inventory accounting, cost of goods sold, point-of-sale reconciliation, and the specific tax considerations that come with running a retail shop in North Carolina.
What happens during the free financial checkup?
It's a 15-minute call where we review your current situation — how current your books are, what tax returns you've filed, how your business is structured, and where the biggest savings opportunities are. You'll walk away knowing exactly what it would look like to work with us and how much you're likely leaving on the table.
