Do your financial reports help make better decisions?
Do questions like these keep you up at night?
- Is my business actually healthy?
- Which services are making me money?
- Where should I focus my energy?
- What do I need to fix?
Most bookkeepers will reconcile your accounts, close your month, and hand you a profit and loss statement. Your numbers are accurate. Your books are clean, but do they help you make better business decisions?
At Nordic Sky, we believe bookkeeping should do more than record what happened.
Your books should help you understand your business and make better decisions.
That’s why we go beyond the basics to deliver clarity, not just accuracy.
Our Three-Part Approach
In addition to accurate bookkeeping we provide a three-part approach to help you make better decisions for your business. Bookkeeping is the start of how we can help your business thrive. Most small business owners don’t start their company to manage their books. Let us navigate that for you so you can focus on running your business.
Part 1: Your Financial Statements
You get all three core statements: Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement. Not just the P&L that most bookkeepers provide, but the complete financial picture. These statements show you what happened in your business, from every angle that matters.
Part 2: Visual Dashboards
Numbers in rows and columns tell one story. Visual dashboards tell another. We break down your revenue, margins, and profitability by line of business so you can see at a glance where your business is strong and where it needs attention. We show you the data multiple ways (monthly and quarterly year-to-date) because sometimes you need the detail and sometimes you need the trend.
Part 3: Observations and Insights
This is where we connect the dots. We review your numbers and give you written observations about what we’re seeing: trends that need attention, changes worth investigating, patterns that suggest opportunities. We don’t pretend to know your business better than you do, but we know how to read financial data, and we point you toward the questions worth asking.
What Do Observations Actually Look Like?
We review your financials and provide written insights about what we’re seeing. Here are a few examples of observations we might share:
Your managed services revenue grew 12% this quarter, but your margin percentage dropped from 58% to 51%. Dig into whether labor costs have increased or if you’ve added lower-margin contracts.
Your project revenue is strong, but cash flow is lagging. It looks like you’re waiting until projects complete to invoice. Consider implementing progress billing to smooth cash flow and reduce the gap between work performed and payment received.
Your margins look a little thin. When was the last time you raised prices?
Let’s strategize on how and when to do that.
These aren’t generic reports. They’re specific to your business, written in plain language, and designed to point you toward what matters most.
Our Process: What to Expect
Getting Started
A Map to Your Success
We begin with a consultation to understand your business, your current financial setup, and what you need most. If we’re a good fit, we’ll guide you through onboarding: reviewing your existing books, setting up your chart of accounts properly, and establishing how we’ll track your lines of business.
Our goal is simple: get your financial foundation solid so we can start delivering the clarity you need to make better decisions.
Monthly Delivery
Your Constant Guide
As we close your books each month, you’ll receive a comprehensive PDF report with everything you need: three complete financial statements, visual dashboards showing revenue and margins by line of business, key financial ratios, and our written observations.
We’ve reviewed your financials, identified trends worth watching, and pointed you toward the questions worth asking. Everything delivered in plain language, in one clear package.
Have questions? Reach out anytime. We’re here to help.
Ongoing Partnership
Your North Star
We’re not just here at month-end. We’re your year-round financial partner.
As your business evolves, we evolve with you. Need to adjust how we track your lines of business or add new metrics? We’re flexible and responsive.
For deeper guidance, we offer consulting add-ons: monthly review calls, quarterly planning sessions, and ongoing access for questions about pricing, hiring, growth, and other financial challenges.
Whether you’re making a major decision or want a second opinion, we’re here.
Why we should be your guide
Running a service business means making decisions every day. Which services to focus on. When to hire. How to price. Whether you’re on track or falling behind.
Those decisions are easier when you actually understand your numbers. When you can see trends before they become problems. When you know which parts of your business are working and which need attention.
That’s what we deliver: clarity that leads to confidence. Not just clean books, but the insights you need to run your business well.
