Fractional CFO built for Apex.

Research Triangle companies between $2M and $50M often need CFO-grade forecasting, burn/runway planning, and board reporting well before a full-time hire. We provide that finance leadership for venture-backed and fast-scaling firms. Apex is growing as part of the Triangle's high-tech region, with economic-development efforts focused on business retention, recruitment, entrepreneurship, and future targets like advanced manufacturing and life sciences. That makes fractional CFO support valuable: leadership needs forecasting, cash visibility, scenario planning, and board-ready reporting before a full-time CFO is justified.

Best for: Businesses between $2M and $50M making decisions that need real financial rigor.

Industries we serve.

Our Raleigh-area client base reflects the Triangle’s economy — a mix of life sciences and biotech, technology and SaaS, professional services, and the support businesses fueling Research Triangle growth.

North Carolina tax complexity is real — plan for it early.

North Carolina levies a flat personal income tax (currently 4.25% and scheduled to keep declining) plus a corporate income tax and an annual franchise tax assessed on a company’s net worth. The franchise tax catches a lot of owners off guard because it’s owed even in years with thin profits. Getting the entity structure and the books aligned with how NC actually taxes you is where most surprises get avoided.

The Triangle’s life-sciences, tech, and SaaS firms frequently sell and hire across state lines, which raises sales-and-use tax nexus and multistate apportionment questions earlier than founders expect. We handle the North Carolina filings, the franchise-tax and apportionment work, and the GAAP-compliant financials that venture-backed and investor-ready companies need for diligence — so growth doesn’t outrun your compliance.

Frequently asked.

Do you serve businesses outside Raleigh proper?

Yes. Our Raleigh team supports clients across the Triangle — Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, Apex, Morrisville, and the broader Research Triangle region. Most engagements run remotely with periodic in-person meetings as needed.

Can you handle North Carolina tax and multistate filings?

Yes. We handle North Carolina corporate income tax, the franchise (net-worth) tax, the flat income tax, and sales & use tax — plus the apportionment work for businesses operating across multiple states. Many Triangle businesses sell across state lines, and we handle the multistate filings either way.

Do you work with venture-backed SaaS and tech companies?

Yes. Life-sciences, biotech, and software businesses are a meaningful part of our Raleigh practice. We handle ARR and grant tracking, deferred revenue accounting, GAAP-compliant financials for diligence, and the reporting investors expect.

How much does outsourced bookkeeping cost?

Engagements typically range based on transaction volume, number of accounts, and complexity. We give you a flat monthly fee in week one — no hourly billing surprises. Cleanup work is quoted separately as a one-time fee.

Will I always get the same person?

Yes. Each client is assigned a senior bookkeeper as their primary contact, with a CPA reviewing the work. You won't be passed around to a rotating cast.
