Pricing can make or break your business. Yet many owners still treat it as guesswork instead of strategy. Underpricing, outdated rates,...
You didn't outgrow your business. You outgrew your bookkeeper.
Bridged runs the entire back office — accounting, AP/AR, payroll, GET and sales tax, compliance — for owner-run companies doing $500K–$15M Nationwide from Hawaii to Florida with a large West Coast presence. Books closed by the 10th. Every close reviewed by a CPA.
Numbers you can borrow against, plan with, and hand to a buyer.
Free 30-minute review — you leave with a written list of what’s at risk and what it costs to fix, whether you hire us or not.

- Cash-flow forecasting
- Compliance

- Sales tax
The problem
Your books were fine at $1M. At $3M, they're the reason the bank keeps asking questions.
The bank wants financials your spreadsheet can’t produce. Sales tax or GE is due, payroll needs to be run – each with with it’s own deadline and its own penalty when it slips. And it’s you doing it all at 10p. Already received the penalty letter? That’s where half our engagements start.

Hawaii & West Coast
Most firms don't know GET from sales tax. We do.
A large share of our clients run businesses in Hawaii — we file G-45s and G-49s every period, and our team works until 5pm Hawaii time. And we serve companies up and down the West Coast: same team, same standards.

How it works
Four steps to a back office you never think about
No long onboarding, no jargon — and a CPA-led team carrying it. Here’s exactly what working with us looks like.
01
Let's talk
A relaxed call to map what's on your plate and what's draining your time.
02
We take it over
We connect your systems, clean up what's behind, and get it running.
03
We run it for you
Books closed by the 10th, bills paid, filings made — by named accountants, with a CPA signing off on every close.
04
You get your time back
A clear monthly read, a partner on call, and far fewer fires on your desk.
Worried about the handoff? Switching takes 30–45 days. We work directly with your current bookkeeper or accountant — graciously — and most owners spend under 3 hours total on the transition. Behind on books or filings? Catch-up is one of our most common starting points.
Why Bridged Financial Solutions
A CPA-led team, not a pile of vendors
Real accountants and CPAs with public-accounting and industry experience, now handling under one roof what used to take a bookkeeper, a payroll service, and a last-minute compliance scramble.
One team, not ten vendors
Bookkeeper, AP clerk, payroll service, compliance help — replaced by a single team that talks to itself.
Off your plate, on schedule
Filings, renewals, and runs happen on time without you tracking them. Fewer fires, fewer late nights.
Breadth as you grow
New entity, new state, an audit, a forecast you need by Friday — we already do it.
Fit
Who we're built for
A Fit:
- Owner-run companies doing roughly $500K–$15M
- Funded startups welcome — we build the finance function right the first time
- Multi-entity and multi-state welcome
- You want the back office handled — and numbers you can make decisions with
Not a fit:
- Businesses under ~$500K
- Shopping on price alone — a solo bookkeeper will serve you better, and we'll happily say so on the call
Engagements
Hand us as much as you want off your plate
Flat monthly engagements, scoped on your call. Most clients invest $2,000–$5,000/month. Month-to-month — no long-term contract.
Back Office + CFO
from $4,000/mo
Your complete back office plus a fractional CFO engagement led by CPA account manager.
- Everything in Back Office
- Forecast, cash model, KPI dashboard
- Monthly CFO working session
- Lender & investor packages
Most popular
Back Office
from $2,000/mo
- Monthly close by the 10th, CPA-reviewed
- AP & AR
- Payroll oversight (Gusto)
- GET, sales tax & compliance filings
- Direct line to your account team, same-day response
Books-only
from $1,000/mo
For companies with a strong internal AP/payroll person:

Most clients outgrow this tier within a year – a starting point, not a destination.
Our close standard: get us your documents by the 3rd, and your books are closed by the 10th business day — quicker if you need it, just ask. Every engagement is month-to-month — we earn the relationship every close, not with a contract.
Integrations
Built on tools you already trust
We run your back office on industry-leading platforms, connected so everything talks to everything.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Who actually does the work?
A dedicated Bridged team assigned to your account — named people you’ll know, trained on our processes — with every close reviewed by Ryan, CPA. Your account never sits in a ticket queue.
We already have a bookkeeper. Why switch?
Half our clients come to us at the moment they’ve outgrown one. Books that worked at $1M often can’t support GET plus multi-state filings, lender requests, or real forecasting at $3M. If your bookkeeper is keeping up, keep them — we’re for the moment they can’t.
How painful is switching?
30–45 days, mostly on our side. We handle the handoff with your current provider directly, and we’re gracious about it — including when the bookkeeper is family.
I'm behind on books, filings, or renewals. Can you still help?
Yes — catching up is one of our most common engagements. We’ll bring your books current, sort out missed filings, and get every renewal back on a tracked schedule.
I run more than one business. Can you handle that?
Yes — many clients are multi-venture owners. We handle multi-entity and multi-state setups and keep each business clean and clearly separated.
What does a fractional CFO from Bridged look like?
CFO strategy set by Ryan McGuire, CPA, executed by the team that already runs your books — forecasting, cash strategy, and lender-ready financials without a $250K+ hire. See the CFO page
What software do you work with?
A modern cloud stack — QuickBooks Online, Gusto (our payroll recommendation), Bill, and Hubdoc — plus Stripe, PayPal, Square, and most major payment platforms. It’s all in-house labor running on best-in-class tools.
How is my financial data handled?
Access-controlled cloud systems (QuickBooks Online, Bill, Hubdoc) with role-based permissions — your team members see only what their work requires, and access is revoked the day someone rolls off your account. Confirm/adjust to actual controls
Where are you located, and do you work remotely?
We serve Hawaii and the West Coast, led from California. Everything runs in the cloud, and our team works until 5pm Hawaii time.
