Small Business Consulting

I help small business owners in Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle turn their financial data into a forward-looking plan, so every major decision is backed by real numbers instead of guesswork.



This is small business consulting for Amarillo-area owners generating solid revenue but still flying blind when it comes to what their numbers are actually telling them. If the gap between what you gross and what you actually keep keeps widening, that's the kind of problem this practice is built to address.

What Does Business Financial Consulting Actually Include?

Consulting is not bookkeeping and it's not tax preparation. Those services process what already happened. Consulting is forward-looking: understanding what your numbers mean, where your business is heading, and what you can do today to improve where you end up. Engagements at Make a Mint Accounting cover the areas that most directly affect small business financial health:



• Profit analysis: identifying the gap between gross revenue and what you actually keep
• Cash flow planning: understanding where shortfalls are coming from before they arrive
• Proactive tax strategy: making decisions throughout the year that lower tax exposure
• Financial literacy: learning to read and act on your own financial data
• Profit and budget planning: building forward-looking projections that give decisions a real foundation

As a small business financial advisor in Amarillo serving the Texas Panhandle, this is the part-time CFO role I fill for businesses that aren't ready to bring one on full-time.

Built for Business Owners Grossing $500K to $3M

Consulting works best for businesses that have moved past early survival mode and are generating real revenue but haven't yet built the financial systems or strategy to manage growth deliberately. If you're in the $500K to $3M annual revenue range, you're likely in the gap this practice was built to fill.

Here's who tends to get the most out of consulting engagements:

• You're generating solid revenue but can't clearly explain where the profit is going
• You're making major decisions about hiring, pricing, or investment based on gut feeling
• You react to slow seasons and cash shortfalls instead of planning ahead for them
• You hand your records to a preparer every year and leave without a real answer
• You have a bookkeeper but aren't sure the work is accurate or useful

You want the financial strategy layer that most small business owners never get from a traditional accounting relationship

If you're in that last category and already have a bookkeeper in place, the Virtual Bookkeeper Oversight Plan may be the more direct fit.

Go Deeper on Tax Strategy and Financial Clarity

Two consulting areas go deep enough to warrant their own pages, with detailed information on what's included, who each is built for, and what getting started looks like.

Tax Strategy for Small Business

Proactive tax planning and tax preparation are not the same thing. This consulting area covers the decisions made throughout the year that affect what you owe when filing arrives. If you've ever left a tax appointment feeling like nothing actually changed from one year to the next, this is where that changes.

Financial Clarity and Profit Planning

This consulting area focuses on the gap between what you earn and what you actually understand about your finances. We build profit plans, work through your cash flow, and develop the financial confidence to interpret your own numbers and act on them. It's the difference between having reports and actually using them.

What a Consulting Engagement Actually Looks Like

No two consulting engagements follow the same template, because no two small businesses are at the same place financially. Every engagement is structured around the specific business in front of me: your current revenue stage, the financial visibility you have right now, and where there's the most room to improve the outcome.



Every engagement is also built around flat-fee accounting services priced before anything begins. There's no hourly meter running when you have questions between calls, and there's no surprise invoice at the end. You'll know exactly what working together costs before you commit to anything.

One thing stays constant: you work with me directly. No account managers, no staff handling your files, and no explaining your situation twice to someone who doesn't know your business.

Make a Mint Accounting is a solo financial consulting and accounting practice based in Canyon, TX, with more than 15 years of bookkeeping and consulting work with small business owners across the Amarillo area and Texas Panhandle. I personally guide every client engagement, with flat-fee pricing and direct access built in from the start. Learn more about my background on the About page.
