Alpharetta CPA Tax Experts
Vincent Keith Everson, CPA, LLC
Financial Consultation
Meet with an Alpharetta CPA for a one-hour financial consultation focused on improving clarity, efficiency, and decision-making. This service is designed for business owners and individuals who want professional guidance on financial statements, expenses, margins, and overall financial performance.
Who This Financial Consultation Is For
This consultation is ideal for small business owners, self-employed professionals, and individuals who want a CPA to review their financial situation, identify issues, and recommend practical next steps.
CPA Financial Consultation for Business Owners and Individuals
A financial consultation should do more than provide general advice. It should help you understand how your numbers connect to real decisions. At Vincent Keith Everson CPA LLC, our financial consultation service is designed for business owners and individuals who want clearer insight into financial statements, expenses, cash flow, margins, tax-sensitive decisions, and next steps.
For business owners, a financial consultation may focus on profitability, pricing, overhead, owner pay, bookkeeping quality, cash flow pressure, and whether financial reporting is clear enough to support better decisions. For individuals, it may focus on income changes, retirement questions, tax-related financial decisions, self-employment activity, or preparation for a larger tax planning discussion.
This service can be especially helpful before tax season, before a major purchase, after a significant income change, during business growth, or when financial reports are not giving a clear picture of performance. A CPA-led review can help identify where money is going, where inefficiencies may exist, and what issues should be addressed before they become larger tax or financial problems.
Questions We Commonly Review During a Financial Consultation
During a financial consultation, we may review questions such as:
* Are current expenses reasonable for the business or household?
* Is cash flow supporting the goals of the business or the individual?
* Are financial statements clear enough to support decision-making?
* Are there tax issues that should be reviewed before year-end?
* Is the current business structure creating avoidable complexity?
* Are profit margins, pricing, or overhead affecting long-term stability?
* Would a separate tax planning session be useful based on current activity?
The goal of the consultation is to give clients greater clarity, more organized next steps, and a better understanding of what financial or tax issues deserve attention now.
What We Review During the Consultation
We review your financial statements, current expenses, profit margins, bookkeeping patterns, and any questions you have about financial performance. We identify areas where costs may be reduced, margins may be improved, and financial reporting may be clarified.
How a CPA Financial Review Can Help

FAQ
What does financial consultation mean?
Financial consultation means working with a financial professional to review your money situation and get advice on things like budgeting, investing, retirement, insurance, taxes, and estate planning. More Details Here
Is $150,000 too little to work with a financial consultant?
No, $150,000 is not automatically too little, because many advisors work with moderate-income clients, some have no minimum asset requirement, and fee-only advisors may charge hourly, flat, retainer, or AUM-based fees instead of requiring a very large portfolio. More Details Here
What is the cost of an average financial consultant?
A reasonable benchmark is that many financial advisors charge about 1% of assets per year, or roughly $300 per hour, with one-time comprehensive plans often around $3,000 and subscription-style planning around $4,500 per year, though pricing varies widely by service model and complexity.

Should I choose a CPA or a CFP?
Choose a CFP if you mainly want comprehensive personal financial planning and investment/retirement guidance, choose a CPA if you mainly need tax, accounting, or business help, and use both if your situation is complex enough to need both planning and tax expertise. More Details Here
Can I retire at 61 with $370k in a 401 (k)?
Possibly, but $370,000 by itself is usually not a comfortable stand-alone retirement fund, because it may only support roughly $13,000 to $15,000 a year of withdrawals before tax under conservative spending assumptions, and at 61 you still have to bridge the gap to Social Security eligibility at 62 and Medicare at 65.
