“PHG has completely transformed the financial side of our roofing company in Florida. With multiple locations, we struggled with our finances until we started working with them. Their fractional CFO services have been incredibly valuable, offering strategic insights and financial leadership without the need for a full-time CFO.”

Ryan McPherson

“PHG cleaned up my books and took over the day to day bookkeeping / financial management, so I could focus on running the business. Their support provided more visibility into the financial performance of my business than I have had in years. They are a key part of my business and always available to help.”

Donald Young
Central Florida Garage
“I engaged PHG’s Fractional CFO group to organize my financials and data in preparation for a potential sale. Their team expertly positioned my business to maximize its value. When the time was right, PHG’s Buyside M&A Team connected me with an excellent partner and secured a fantastic deal, saving me from paying a sell-side broker fee. PHG provided guidance and support from start to finish, and I would strongly recommend that any strategic-minded business owner consider speaking with them.”

Case Studies
How We Helped a $10M+ Business Build a Stronger Financial Foundation
Service : Bookkeeping
The Challenge
The company had not filed taxes in three years, was still operating on a cash basis, and lacked reliable financial visibility to support better decision-making.
What We Did
We cleaned up the financials, transitioned the business from cash to accrual accounting, and began reviewing job costing data to identify gross profit opportunities tied to errors in the estimating template.
The Outcome
The company established a more accurate financial foundation, improved visibility into job performance, and uncovered opportunities to strengthen gross profit.
Key Takeaway
Clean financials and accurate job costing give businesses the insight they need to improve profitability and plan with confidence.
How We Helped a $25M+ Business Rebuild Financial Clarity After a Failed Acquisition
Service : Bookkeeping
The Challenge
The company believed it was generating $11M in EBITDA during an acquisition process, but the true figure was closer to $6M. When that gap came to light, an $80M acquisition offer fell through. The business needed a deeper financial cleanup to understand performance and recover lost value.
What We Did
We led a multi-year financial cleanup that uncovered more than $1M in cost-reduction opportunities, identified misbilling from material vendors, and found received checks that had not been cashed.
The Outcome
The company gained a more accurate view of financial performance, uncovered meaningful cash and cost savings, and created a stronger foundation for future growth or transaction readiness.
Key Takeaway
Clean, accurate financials are critical to protecting business value and avoiding costly surprises during a transaction.
How We Helped a Business Correct Financials That Showed a False Loss
Service : Bookkeeping
The Challenge
A multi-location HVAC contractor believed it was heading toward bankruptcy after its financials appeared to show negative $1 million in EBITDA, despite recently winning and starting several large jobs. The books were not accurately reflecting business performance.
What We Did
We performed a deep review of the financials and found the company was actually generating closer to $2.1 million in EBITDA. We identified that several large material prepayments had been recorded before the related revenue was recognized, distorting profitability. From there, we led a multi-year cleanup to transition the business to full accrual accounting, supported by a monthly over/under billed adjustment process.
The Outcome
The company gained a far more accurate view of financial performance and discovered the business was much healthier than it appeared. With cleaner reporting and a stronger accounting foundation, leadership could make decisions based on reality rather than misleading financials.
Key Takeaway
In project-based businesses, inaccurate revenue recognition can make a profitable company look distressed. Clean accrual-based reporting creates the clarity needed to manage confidently and plan for growth.
