    DFW client case studies

    Anonymized composites drawn from real engagements across the Dallas–Fort Worth metro. Names and identifying details have been removed; the financial patterns are typical of what we see week to week.

    Frisco, TX• Real Estate Investment

    Frisco Real Estate Investor Consolidates 7 LLCs Into One Reporting View

    A Frisco-based real estate investor operating 7 LLCs across rentals, short-term properties, and flips lacked any consolidated view of cash flow or net worth. Within 90 days of engagement, we delivered consolidated quarterly reporting, a portfolio-level cash flow forecast, and an entity-by-entity profitability scorecard.

    Plano SaaS Startup Delivers Investor-Ready Financials for Series A in 60 Days

    A Plano-based vertical SaaS company with strong growth had a term sheet on the table but books that wouldn't survive due diligence. In 60 days we restated 18 months of financials under accrual accounting, built a SaaS metrics dashboard, and delivered a board-ready data room.

    McKinney General Contractor Catches a $340K WIP Reporting Error

    A McKinney-based commercial general contractor was reporting strong margins on its monthly P&L but kept running short on cash. We rebuilt the WIP schedule from scratch and uncovered $340K of overbilled-but-not-earned revenue that had been masking a real margin problem on a major project.

    Dallas, TX• Single-Family Office

    Dallas Family Office Consolidates 14 Entities Into a Single Monthly Net-Worth View

    A Dallas single-family office spanning operating businesses, real estate holdings, and personal trusts had no consolidated net-worth view. Within 120 days we centralized bookkeeping across 14 entities, built a monthly family balance sheet, and gave the principals a quarterly cash-and-commitment forecast they could actually act on.

    Plano, TX• Multi-State Services

    Plano-HQ Operating Business Replaces Three Spreadsheets With One Consolidated Close

    A Plano-headquartered services company operating across Texas, Oklahoma, and Arizona had three separate bookkeeping setups, three different close calendars, and no consolidated picture. Within two quarters we centralized the close, built a single consolidated P&L by state and by service line, and freed the founder to make pricing and hiring decisions with confidence.

    Fort Worth, TX• Professional Services

    Fort Worth Professional Services Firm Institutionalizes Its Back Office Before a Founder Transition

    A 28-person Fort Worth professional services firm — running on the founder's institutional knowledge and a part-time bookkeeper — needed a back office that could operate without the founder before a planned partial buyout. We rebuilt the financial spine, established repeatable cadences, and delivered the buyer-ready reporting the deal required.
