Accomplishments:

At Outlook Accounting & Taxes, we provide Fractional CFO services that deliver the financial leadership growing organizations need - without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire. Our approach combines strategic insight with hands-on execution, giving businesses access to the kind of executive-level guidance that drives clarity, control, and growth.

Through our Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) services, we equip clients with the tools to forecast accurately, budget confidently, and make data-driven decisions that lead to lasting impact. We don't just offer reports - we provide financial intelligence that powers smarter, faster moves.

Our offerings go well beyond the typical scope of finance. From advanced tax planning and compliance to entity structuring, cash flow management, and ongoing advisory, we embed deeply within each client’s operations. Every solution is tailored, every recommendation strategic, and every engagement designed to fuel long-term success.

We bring deep, hands-on experience across a wide range of industries, allowing us to understand and navigate the unique challenges each sector presents. Industries we support include:
Automotive ● Streamlining dealership accounting, managing manufacturer incentives, and optimizing inventory valuation.
Aviation & Space ● Addressing multi-jurisdictional tax planning, securing R&D credits, and managing capital asset strategy.
Banking & Financial Services ● Strengthening compliance frameworks, internal controls, and FP&A capabilities to enhance financial agility.
Real Estate ● Structuring investments for tax efficiency, performing cost segregation studies, and modeling long-term cash flow.
Cannabis ● Navigating complex compliance environments, 280E tax constraints, and building effective financial systems.
Food & Beverage ● Increasing profitability through inventory analysis, sales tax strategy, and real-time financial forecasting.
Outsourcing & Professional Services ● Building scalable, cloud-first accounting systems and streamlined reporting workflows.
Farming & Agriculture ● Leveraging tax credits, managing production-based cost structures, and guiding long-term succession planning.
Dental & Healthcare ● Enhancing practice profitability, managing payroll intricacies, and supporting expansion and acquisitions.

At Outlook, we’re more than accountants - we’re embedded partners, strategic guides, and a steady financial hand as you grow. Our mission is simple: to help you move forward with confidence, backed by a team that’s as invested in your success as you are.
