We don’t hand you spreadsheets. We bring the financial oversight leaders rely on to move with intention.

Strategic Financial Leadership for Riverside’s Expanding Business Economy

Integrated Tax Intelligence That Strengthens Every Financial Move

Your growth plan only works when your tax strategy supports it. Too many businesses treat tax and CFO oversight as separate — and lose money every year because of it.


Our Riverside CFO engagements integrate tax advisory directly into your financial structure:

  • Restructure or refine the entity type for optimal tax positioning
  • Design owner compensation that protects cash flow
  • Identify overlooked credits and advanced deductions
  • Build tax-aligned projections that eliminate year-end surprises



One Riverside professional services firm improved working capital enough to open a second location simply by aligning its compensation and tax strategy with its growth plan.

Most Riverside companies don’t need a full-time CFO — but they do need CFO-level visibility to grow without chaos.


Our fractional CFO model gives you the clarity to make investments, manage capacity, and scale operations based on real financial insight.


Here’s where we create immediate impact:

  • Uncover inefficiencies that quietly drain margin
  • Build pricing models anchored in true cost + profitability
  • Strengthen cash flow and optimize working capital cycles
  • Deliver forecasting that supports expansion, hiring, and equipment planning



A Riverside logistics operator cut $54K in recurring annual waste and stabilized weekly cash flow within 90 days — simply by replacing assumptions with structured financial insight.

Smarter Decisions. Tighter Cash Flow. Real Strategic Clarity.

Straight Talk CPAs partners with companies that are:

  • Managing multi-million-dollar budgets or multiple sites
  • Preparing for expansion, investment, or restructuring
  • Operating in industries where margins, compliance, and cash flow matter
  • Ready to replace reactive decisions with a structured financial strategy



We’re not a transactional vendor. We’re a long-term strategic partner committed to building a financial foundation that scales with your ambitions.

Built for Riverside Businesses That Need Strategic Financial Leadership

Case Study: From Unpredictable to Controlled Growth

Jordan, owner of a Riverside-based multi-location service company, was scaling quickly but lacked reliable financial direction. Cash flow fluctuated, location-level performance wasn’t clear, and planning relied on rough estimates.


Within the first 60 days, we:

  • Audited financial systems and corrected cost structures
  • Built profitability dashboards by location and service category
  • Aligned receivables + payables cycles to stabilize cash flow
  • Implemented rolling 13-week forecasting and quarterly strategy reviews


The results:

  • $39,000 in annual savings
  • 16% improvement in cash flow predictability
  • Clear visibility that supported expansion planning and new hires



“Once the numbers made sense, decisions became easier — everything feels more controlled.”
— Jordan M., Riverside Business Owner
