Lifecycle Plans

Many CPAs offer a set of services as broad as Baskin Robbins’ 31-flavors. This method puts the pressure on YOU to know what you need.  Our Lifecycle Plans are designed to follow the Lifecycle of a Business. We believe a business owner’s needs from their CPA change as they evolve through each Lifecycle phase; and we have designed our unique service plans for each phase.

Phase One

Moonlighting

Phase Two

Solo-prenuer

Phase Three

Solo-prenuer Plus

Phase Four

Phase Five

Scaling Up

“We’ve done business with CRC for several years now. I recommend them to anyone. From simple to complex files, they are at the top of their game with professionalism, customer service and ROI.”

Phase One – Moonlighting

  • Entrepreneur has a BIG IDEA.
  • Entrepreneur has a “Day Job” and creating the business as a side-hustle.  Also referred to as “Moonlighting”.
  • Sometimes a borderline between Hobby and Business.
  • Generally Sole Proprietor.  For example, John Smith doing business as (DBA) John Smith.
  • Entrepreneur is distributing ALL positive cash flow from the business.  No cash reserves.

Phase Three – Solo-preneur Plus

  • Business is sustaining consistent profits and earnings from one year to the next, not a lot of volatility.
  • Entity selection and restructuring, for tax planning purposes, is beginning to be considered.
  • Starts making sense for the owner to be on a salary of their own company for fixed (or flat) take-home pay.
  • Still no other employees, other than owner-employee.

Phase Four – The BOSS

  • Hiring of employee #1 (non-owner employee).
  • The concept is now a well-designed Product or Service.
  • A focus on developing internal processes for “how it’s made”
  • Budgeting/forecasting is beginning to be important. Payday now impacts others besides themself! This is Small Business America at its best!
  • Tax Projections are very VALUABLE! Because cash flow is now critical, and can’t afford big surprises from unknown tax bills!

“CRC has been tremendous in assisting our growing company. They’ve been proactive to offer us ideas and systems to improve our company, along with the regular input on our financial statements to identify both positive and negative items and trends that arise. It’s great to have an accounting service you can rely on for accuracy and insight, but it’s even better to have a company like Compere that also looks for any number of other ways to help your company and bottom line!”
