How We Work

At Sugimoto & Associates we offer a tiered approach to consulting services. Whether you need a specific project completed, a fractional executive, or something in-between, we can design a package tailored to fit your business needs and budget.

In-house teams translate to human resources, benefits and office space costs. Focus your vital resources in revenue generating functions and let the Sugimoto & Associates expert team support your growth through our industry focused solutions. With Sugimoto & Associates you can outsource the entire process, select functions or tasks. Our team delivers the highest quality results, ongoing support, and flexible hours.

Accounting & Reporting

Insight is critical. We build a strong financial and reporting foundation for your business to support profitable growth.

Strong companies are built on robust accounting systems.

Developing that foundation is based on accurate and consistent recording of transactions and events, which form the basis of all information used to manage your business. Sugimoto & Associates will design and structure the accounting functions throughout your organization to allow effective decision making and control.

We integrate all of the financial and reporting aspects of your business to provide transparency and insight. We develop accounting processes and optimize the chart of accounts to meet your company goals.

In-house labor is costly and requires cumbersome management layers. Our team offers flexible full-service outsourced accounting to meet your needs and budget. 

Typical tax preparers focus on the return. Our comprehensive tax services start with tax planning, followed by preparing the books, generating and filing your tax returns.

Many industries require specialized regulatory compliance reporting at the busiest times of the year, which can be difficult for an in-house team. Sugimoto & Associates excels at supporting your critical processes and reporting requirements. 

Through key performance indicators, dashboards and client feedback we guide resources and identify opportunities for improvement. We define the business level metrics for each stakeholder, translate them into dashboards, and teach you how to interpret them as valuable tools.

Just as a good story is told through words, a well organized growth company is described through its financial reporting. We design and produce financial reports that provide clear, adequate information to help you drive your business to success.
