An important ingredient in gaining a competitive advantage in business today is having the participation of an effective financial team. While some businesses may have a solid in-house bookkeeper or accountant and a good outside CPA, getting well-rounded financial input on a wide range of topics frequently provides the edge needed in making decisions leading to higher profits and enhanced value. In addition, new and emerging businesses require cost-effective solutions for accounting and bookkeeping needs. Foxwood’s advisors provide the expertise and skill sets that can complement company teams or bring value-added processes and services where needs exist. Support may range from higher-level, project-based efforts to ongoing, CFO or controller-type relationships to bookkeeping/accounting services and training. In any case, Foxwood’s goal is to support company owners and management with a focus that is strategically practical in nature and integrated with other key aspects of the company’s business.
