STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Frequently asked questions.

A few useful details before you decide whether Porter Financial Services is the right fit.

01

How much does bookkeeping cost?

Bookkeeping fees depend on factors such as your transaction volume, number of accounts, recordkeeping needs, and the level of support you are looking for. Because each business is different, we discuss your situation and the proposed scope before quoting the work. There is no single price that applies to every client.

02

Does my business need a CFO?

Not every business needs a full-time CFO. CFO advisory may be useful when you want help looking ahead at cash flow, hiring, pricing, financing, or growth, but do not need a full-time finance executive. A conversation can help determine whether advisory support fits your business; see our CFO Advisory Services for more detail.

Can you clean up prior years of bookkeeping?

We can discuss bringing prior-period books up to date. The work and timeline depend on which records are available, how much cleanup is needed, the years involved, and any reporting or filing deadlines. We will review what you have and agree on a scope before work begins.

04

Do you work with nonprofits?

Yes. Porter Financial Services supports nonprofits with services that can include fund accounting, bookkeeping, grant tracking, board reporting, and Form 990 preparation. The right scope depends on your organization’s structure, funding, and reporting needs.

How do you protect my financial information?

Before sharing financial records, ask us which method to use and what information is needed. We do not publish a list of specific security controls or certifications, so please ask about any privacy, security, or compliance requirements that matter to your organization before sharing records or starting work.

06

Can you serve businesses outside Charlotte?

Yes. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, Porter Financial Services serves clients nationwide. Remote support may be a fit depending on the services you need and the records and systems involved. Contact us to discuss your location and priorities.
