How We Work

What every Anchor Point engagement looks like.

Regardless of which industry you're in, every Anchor Point monthly engagement runs on the same operational foundation — with the industry-specific deliverables layered on top.

Discovery call. A 30-45 minute conversation about your business, where the books are working, and where they're not. Bring three months of financials and we'll do a real review during the call.

Scoping & fixed-fee proposal. Within a week of the discovery call, you'll have a written proposal with scope, deliverables, and pricing. Pricing is fixed-fee — no hourly billing surprises, ever.

Onboarding & system setup. First 30-60 days. We take inventory of what's there, fix what's broken, and build the systems that support consistent monthly close. For some industries (oil and gas, multi-entity real estate, ServiceTitan integration), this phase is genuine project work that may have its own scope.

Monthly close by the 15th. Every month, on schedule, you get a complete financial package — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, industry-specific operational reports, and a plain-English commentary on what changed and what to watch.

Quarterly (or monthly) CFO conversations. Real strategic discussions about cash, customer mix, banking, growth direction, and the questions you actually need answered as an owner. Included in every engagement.

Common Questions

About industry-specialized accounting.

What industries does Anchor Point specialize in?

Anchor Point Business Services specializes in seven industries: HOAs and property associations, professional and trade services (law firms, agencies, HVAC, plumbing, electrical), oil and gas services, trucking and logistics, construction and real estate, restaurants and hospitality, and healthcare and dental practices. Each industry has its own dedicated practice with deep operational and regulatory knowledge.

Why does industry specialization matter in accounting?

General-purpose bookkeepers can categorize transactions and produce a P&L, but they can't tell you whether your trucking cost-per-mile is healthy, whether your restaurant prime cost is sustainable, or whether your oil and gas JIB reconciliation captures the 5-15% of cost allocations that don't belong. Industry-specialized accounting produces the operational metrics that decide whether your business actually makes money — not just the tax-ready records that satisfy compliance.

Do you serve industries outside these seven?

Selectively. If your business doesn't fit cleanly into our seven specialty areas but has accounting complexity that fits our model (typically $1M-$25M revenue, multi-entity or operationally complex, looking for a complete back-office team rather than just a bookkeeper), we can have a conversation. We deliberately don't serve manufacturing, financial services, nonprofits, or technology/SaaS — those industries have accounting needs we don't specialize in, and we'd rather refer you to someone who does.

What's included in a typical Anchor Point engagement?

Every Anchor Point engagement includes monthly bookkeeping, accounts payable, payroll, monthly financial close by the 15th, plus the industry-specific deliverables that matter for your business — job costing for contractors, IFTA for trucking, daily sales reconciliation for restaurants, JIB processing for oil and gas, production-vs-collections for healthcare, and so on. CFO-level strategy conversations are included quarterly at minimum, more often as needed. Engagements are fixed-fee with no hourly billing.

What does outsourced accounting cost across these industries?

Monthly engagements at Anchor Point typically range from $3,000 to $10,000+ depending on industry, transaction volume, multi-entity complexity, and how much CFO-level guidance is involved. Owner-operator trucking and solo professional practices can run lower ($1,500-$2,500). Oil and gas service companies and multi-location healthcare or hospitality groups often run higher. All pricing is fixed-fee, quoted up front based on clear scope, with no hourly billing or unexpected charges.

How quickly can you start?

Most engagements begin within 2-3 weeks of the signed proposal. The discovery call typically happens within a few days of your inquiry. From there, we build a fixed-fee proposal, sign engagement letters, and begin onboarding. For urgent situations (looming audit, banker requesting financials, partner buyout) we can accelerate; for complex multi-entity onboardings we may take longer. We'll be straight with you about timing during the discovery call.

Are you a CPA firm?

Our practice is led by two CPAs — Rebecca Harrington, CPA (Founding Principal) and Curtis Hollis, CPA (Principal) — but Anchor Point is not a CPA firm in the audit-and-assurance sense. We don't perform audits, reviews, or compilations, and we don't prepare tax returns. What we do is run the complete back-office accounting function — bookkeeping, payroll, monthly close, financial reporting, and CFO-level strategy — to a CPA-supervised standard, then hand clean books to your tax CPA at year-end.

Let's Talk

Find your industry.
Let's talk numbers.

Whichever of the seven specialty areas fits your business, the first step is the same — a 30-minute discovery call where we look at your actual numbers and tell you what's working, what isn't, and whether we're the right team to take it on.
