Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

I work primarily with small businesses and startups, especially service-based ones. If you're great at running your business but the financials feel overwhelming, that's the gap I fill. No jargon, no fluff, just clear answers about your numbers.

Who is doing the work?

NorthSight Financial Consulting is a one-man agency, ran by Michael, the founder. NorthSight Financial Consulting does not employ other analysts, or outsource work to any other entity. You'll work directly with me through the entirety of your experience.

Do you need access to my financial data?

In short, yes. To be a finance partner who can provide value and insights, access to financial data is necessary. This would include any point of sale (PoS) systems, accounting software and any other programs/systems you may be using.

Is there a contract?

There is not an official contract, but upon purchasing services you will need to agree that you have read the terms and conditions.

How does payment for services work?

Simple. Billed upfront for the engagement.

Is my financial data safe with you?

Yes, 100%. Secure systems for data storage and file sharing are used. Confidentiality is baked into the terms of service, and I treat your sensitive info like it’s my own.

Do you work in Google Sheets or Excel?

Google Sheets provides flexibility and dynamics in sharing and reporting that has been the standard to use lately. However, Excel has been a go-to forever and I am happy to use that.

Where is the support based?

I am headquartered in central Texas which allows for widespread coverage.
