Pick a time. There's nothing to prepare and nothing to send us before the call.

A sample month, animated: the bank statement, the ledger and the month's documents get tied out, one line is flagged for review, the tax number lands in writing, and a phone shows the monthly done email.

A contractor we work with

“My old accountant… I had to… bring everything over once a year.”

“With Pacific Standard… they’re on it day to day.”
  • “Pacific Standard came through with some tax planning before the year ends, so it really came in clutch.”
  • “I recommend it to all the other general contractors out there that are too busy with the projects and don’t have enough time with the books.”
  • “It’s cheaper than hiring a bookkeeper in the office monthly, and it’s more reliable.”
Ethan M., Sitka General Construction
A contractor we work with
“You won’t regret it.”
  • “I simply can recommend him to anybody who is in construction, remodeling business.”
  • “His knowledge is deep.”

Questions owners ask.

What is Pacific Standard?

Pacific Standard is a monthly finance department for contractors, home services and other businesses. We close your books every month, watch payroll, plan your taxes all year and put a mid-year projection of what you'll owe in writing. Every business and personal tax return we list when you sign is inside the same monthly price.

Who do you work with?

Owners of construction and home service companies doing $500K to $20M a year who want to grow and want a finance department behind that growth, in all 50 states. Other kinds of businesses at that size get a price set for their business on the free Game Plan call.

What is included in the monthly fee?

Books closed and tied to the bank every month, with your profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow, every business and personal tax return we list when you sign, tax planning all year with a mid-year projection of what you'll owe, payroll checked every month, 1099s for your subs and vendors, with the W-9s collected before year end, a monthly email of everything we did with your key numbers against your budget, a written Keep More Memo every quarter, a strategy meeting around your goals offered every quarter and never required, where we set next year's budget at year end and show what each lead source costs you, and calls whenever you need them with no invoice for a question.

Is my personal tax return included?

Yes. Your personal return, your spouse's if you file together, and your rentals are inside the monthly fee. We list each one when you sign. It changes only in writing, with 30 days notice.

How much does it cost?

It starts at $2,500 a month for contractors and home services. Your exact number comes from the free Game Plan call, and it is in writing before you owe anything.

I already have a bookkeeper and a CPA. Why switch?

So look, your bookkeeper and your CPA cover 2 of the 10 things on that list, and the other 8 are where the money leaks out. Let's just say two $140 parts a week never make it onto the invoice, that's over $14,000 a year, and nobody's checking for it. We cover all 10 for one monthly price, and on the Game Plan call you'll see what your setup is leaving behind before you owe anything.

Is there a contract?

No contract and no exit fee. You pay the first month on your start date, then monthly. You can cancel anytime and you get your complete books, every document and a handoff call with your next accountant.

How do I get started?

Get your free Game Plan. Pick a time online for a 20 minute Google Meet with our team. We ask a few questions about how your business runs, and on the call you'll know what your setup is leaving behind. There's nothing to prepare and nothing to send us before the call. You can also call (310) 981-3250.

What happens on the Game Plan call?

Twenty minutes on Google Meet about how your business runs today, who does what and what it costs you. Before we hang up you'll know what your setup is leaving behind. If something is worth fixing, we'll show you how we'd fix it and your monthly price on the same call. You get it in writing before you owe anything, and if you want to go ahead, you can sign up that day. If your setup is in good shape, we'll tell you that. There's nothing to prepare and nothing to send us before the call.

Who does the switch?

We do the switch: the 30-Day Switch, done within 30 days from the day you give us access, or your first month is refunded. The terms spell out how it works.

Do I have to replace my office manager or bookkeeper?

No. Your office manager keeps the day to day, like bills, deposits and vendor calls. We take the month end close, the returns and the tax number, and we put in writing who does what.
