Professional Services

Whether it’s a complex project, case, or client, the details matter. Your accounting deserves the same attention.

You built something real. A consulting firm, a law practice, an engineering group, a medical office. The best firms we work with aren’t necessarily behind. They just know that organized books, proactive tax planning, and consistent reporting give them an edge. Clarke keeps that foundation solid so you can stay focused on the work.

We Work With Businesses Like Yours

Consulting and Advisory

Consulting revenue is lumpy by nature. Variable monthly income, contractor relationships, and project-based billing require organized bookkeeping and clear cash flow visibility. Clarke handles the firm’s accounting: books, taxes, payroll, and reporting. Project-level accounting within your operations stays in your hands, where it belongs.

Engineering & Construction

Multi-project engagements, subcontractor payments, and technical staff payroll create layered complexity. Clarke handles firm-level accounting: books, taxes, payroll, and reporting. Project accounting, tracking costs, budgets, and margins at the engagement level, stays within your operations. We keep the foundation solid without getting in the way of how you manage the work.

Attorneys & Law Firms

We manage IOLTA trust accounts, a non-negotiable compliance requirement for any firm holding client funds. Add in varied fee structures, contingency arrangements, and the need for clean financial records, and organized accounting becomes essential, not optional.

Financial Advisors & Planners

You help clients build financial clarity. We help you maintain it in your own business. Clean books, accurate reporting, and proactive tax planning so your firm runs as well as the advice you give.

Medical & Healthcare

Mixed revenue from insurance and self-pay, credentialing timelines, and payroll for clinical and administrative staff all require consistent attention. We help practices stay organized and informed throughout the year.
