Accounting & Advisory
Accounting, tax, audit, and advisory work exist to support credible financial decision-making — not to replace leadership or introduce additional complexity.
QACG’s Accounting & Advisory services provide the structural integrity required when decisions must be made, defended, and executed under scrutiny. This work ensures that financial authority rests on accurate, durable, and auditable foundations, particularly in environments subject to lender, investor, or regulatory review.
These services are delivered as enabling infrastructure, most often in support of CFO Upgrade™, Interim CFO, Fractional CFO, or Capital & Transaction Advisory engagements.
Management Consulting
Operational Clarity When Financial Decisions Drive the Outcome
QACG’s management consulting work is focused on resolving operational and strategic decisions that are inseparable from financial authority.
As organizations scale or enter periods of transition, operational complexity often increases faster than leadership’s ability to make clear, defensible decisions. Traditional strategy and operations consulting tends to add analysis, frameworks, and initiatives — but does not resolve ownership or timing risk.
QACG intervenes differently.
Our management consulting engagements are embedded, time-bound, and directly connected to financial decision-making. We work inside the organization to align operations with capital realities, remove non-essential complexity, and ensure that strategic decisions can be executed — not just planned.
This work typically includes:
- Operating model alignment when growth, restructuring, or integration introduces friction between strategy and execution
- Cost and margin decisions where tradeoffs must be resolved decisively rather than optimized indefinitely
- Working capital and supply chain clarity in environments where liquidity, inventory, and resilience matter more than theoretical efficiency
- Process and control rationalization to eliminate noise, reduce fragility, and support accountable execution under scrutiny
Management consulting at QACG is not delivered as a standalone advisory service. It is most often performed in conjunction with CFO Upgrade™, Fractional CFO, Interim CFO, or Capital & Transaction Advisory engagements, ensuring that operational decisions reinforce — rather than undermine — financial authority.
Advanced Tax Advisory
Tax Strategy for Decisions That Must Hold Up Under Scrutiny
QACG’s Advanced Tax Advisory work supports financial decisions where tax consequences materially affect risk, timing, and defensibility.
Middle-market companies, private capital structures, and family offices often operate without the scale of large in-house tax departments — yet face increasing scrutiny from regulators, lenders, and investors. In these environments, tax complexity does not create opportunity; it creates execution risk when not governed carefully.
Our role is not to optimize in isolation or introduce additional complexity. It is to ensure that tax considerations reinforce financial authority, rather than undermine it, at moments where decisions must be made and defended.
This work typically addresses:
- Business and entity tax structure where ownership, capital strategy, and operating realities intersect
- Private client, family office, and private capital tax considerations that require coherence across entities, jurisdictions, and time horizons
- Indirect tax and cross-border exposure where operational activity introduces regulatory and compliance risk
- Transaction-related tax decisions where timing, liquidity, and defensibility matter more than theoretical minimization
Advanced Tax Advisory at QACG is delivered as embedded decision support, not as a standalone advisory product. We work directly with executives and investors to ensure that tax strategy aligns with cash flow realities, transaction intent, and long-term governance — and that outcomes hold under audit, lender, and regulatory scrutiny.
This work is most often performed in conjunction with CFO Upgrade™, Capital & Transaction Advisory, or Interim CFO engagements, ensuring that tax strategy supports — rather than complicates — decisive financial leadership.
Accounting & Controllership
Foundational Financial Infrastructure That Holds Under Pressure
QACG’s accounting and controllership work exists to ensure that financial authority rests on accurate, consistent, and defensible information.
As organizations grow more complex, accounting systems often evolve unevenly — close processes drift, reconciliations lag, and reporting logic fragments. These issues rarely surface as “accounting problems,” but they quietly undermine confidence in financial decisions when pressure increases.
Our role is to restore structural integrity.
This work typically includes:
- Controllership and close discipline to ensure reporting is timely, consistent, and credible
- General ledger structure and reconciliation integrity so numbers hold under scrutiny
- Interim accounting leadership when authority gaps exist below the CFO level
- Accounting system rationalization focused on clarity and control — not tool proliferation
This is not outsourced bookkeeping or efficiency consulting.
It is foundational infrastructure work, delivered in environments where financial decisions must be made, defended, and executed with confidence.
Accounting & Controllership services at QACG are most often performed in support of CFO Upgrade™, Fractional CFO, Interim CFO, or Capital & Transaction Advisory engagements, ensuring that leadership decisions are grounded in financial reality rather than noise.
Audit and Assurance
Credibility Infrastructure When Scrutiny Matters
Audit and assurance exist to protect financial authority under external scrutiny — not to satisfy checklists or deliver reports.
As organizations operate under increasing lender, investor, and regulatory pressure, confidence in the numbers becomes a prerequisite for decision-making. When that confidence weakens, hesitation follows, leverage erodes, and financial authority fragments.
QACG’s Audit & Assurance work is designed to reinforce credibility at moments where it must hold.
This work typically includes:
- Audit readiness and coordination in environments subject to lender, investor, or regulatory review
- Employee benefit plan and SOC reporting support where controls and process integrity are critical
- Assurance over financial structure and controls to ensure reporting withstands scrutiny
- Targeted remediation when audit findings or control weaknesses undermine confidence
Our role is not to introduce new systems or methodologies. It is to ensure that financial reporting, controls, and disclosures are coherent, defensible, and aligned with how the organization actually operates.
Audit & Assurance at QACG is most often delivered in support of CFO Upgrade™, Interim CFO, Fractional CFO, or Capital & Transaction Advisory engagements, reinforcing trust in the numbers so decisive leadership can occur without hesitation.
Capital & Transaction Advisory
Financial Authority for Irreversible Decisions
Capital transactions expose organizations to peak complexity and peak timing risk. When decisions cannot be revisited, additional analysis rarely improves outcomes — it often delays them.
QACG’s Capital & Transaction Advisory work exists to collapse decision complexity and restore financial authority at moments where hesitation destroys leverage.
This work typically includes:
- Financial due diligence focused on decision-critical risks, not exhaustive reporting
- Tax due diligence where structure, timing, and defensibility materially affect outcomes
- Transaction readiness and decision support when tradeoffs must be resolved early
- Post-transaction stabilization to ensure execution holds once the deal closes
Our role is not to optimize every scenario or act as an external advisor to be consulted indefinitely. It is to assume responsibility for closing financial decisions under uncertainty, clarifying tradeoffs, and ensuring outcomes can be defended with confidence to investors, lenders, and boards.
QACG is engaged in transaction environments where:
- decisions are irreversible
- timing matters more than precision
- credibility must hold under scrutiny
- authority cannot be fragmented
Capital & Transaction Advisory at QACG is delivered as a time-bound, authority-based intervention, often in conjunction with Interim CFO or CFO Upgrade™ engagements, ensuring that financial leadership is present before optionality is lost.
Financial Systems & ERP Transitions
Financial Systems & ERP Transitions
System Integrity When Reporting and Control Cannot Break
ERP and financial system transitions are among the most disruptive events a finance organization can experience — particularly when they occur alongside growth, restructuring, refinancing, or transaction activity.
QACG’s role in financial systems and ERP transitions is not to implement software or manage IT projects. It is to protect reporting integrity, control discipline, and decision authority while systems change underneath the organization.
This work typically focuses on:
- Preserving close reliability and reporting continuity during system transitions
- Ensuring general ledger structure, controls, and reconciliations hold under change
- Identifying and mitigating decision risk introduced by incomplete or unstable data
- Supporting leadership when system timelines and financial timing risk intersect
Financial systems transitions at QACG are delivered as risk-bearing, authority-aligned interventions, most often alongside CFO Upgrade™, Interim CFO, or Accounting & Controllership engagements. The objective is not a “successful implementation,” but a finance function that continues to support credible decisions before, during, and after transition.
Family Office Services
Empowering family offices with dedicated advisors and scalable solutions to achieve long-term success.
We understand that managing a family office comes with unique challenges that require focus and strategic guidance.
