Integrated advisory
One Advisory Team. Every Stage of the Business.
As a company evolves, most owners end up assembling advisors one at a time — a consultant for strategy, a bookkeeper for the books, a CPA at tax time, a CFO when the numbers get complicated, and eventually a broker when it is time to sell. Four relationships, four sets of numbers, and no continuity between them.
Haan Consulting Group brings strategy, financial insight, CPA support, valuation, and transaction advisory into a single coordinated relationship — one team that already knows the business when the next stage arrives.

Financial Clarity Changes Everything.
Strong decisions require strong financial information. Most owners are making consequential calls — on pricing, hiring, debt, and timing — from numbers that arrive late, roll up too far, or were built for a tax return rather than for running a company.
Our CPA and financial advisory team helps owners understand performance, cash flow, taxes, forecasting, and the financial drivers of enterprise value — so the numbers become a management tool rather than a compliance exercise.
Performance
Monthly reporting an owner can act on
Cash flow
A thirteen-week forecast, maintained weekly
Tax
Planning across entity, comp, and structure
Value drivers
Margin, add-backs, and quality of earnings
Enterprise value
What Is Your Business Worth?
Most owners have spent years building their businesses but have never had a clear understanding of what the company may be worth, what drives that value, or what could increase it. A defensible range — and the reasoning behind it — changes how you plan the next three years.
