FAQs 

Why change the name to Business Services Group?  

The name shift from CAS to BSG reflects the desire to expand the role as a strategic partner delivering finance operations, scalable solutions and forward-looking guidance for businesses at all stages of growth. Our goal is to unify accounting, advisory, and technology-driven services under a unified “business services” model to provide real-time data and insight for crucial client decision making. 

How is BSG different from outsourced bookkeeping? 

We manage the full finance function—close, reporting, tax touchpoints—and add controller/CFO-level guidance so owners can make decisions in real time. 

What does onboarding look like? 

Discovery → data/file analysis → implementation of the monthly close cadence and reporting pack; then migrate into recurring workflow. 

Will you attend board or lender meetings? 

Yes—our team prepares materials and presents when requested. 

Do you also handle tax? 

Yes! Business and individual tax services are coordinated alongside your BSG engagement through our firmwide tax practice.
