Planning Something Big? Or Need Some Help with Accounting Services?
We Can Take the Weight Off Your Shoulders.
As one of Michigan’s largest accounting and advisory firms, Maner Costerisan takes a unique approach to how we help our clients – by providing accounting services built entirely around your business. Unlike other firms that take a “one-size fits all” approach, we learn your processes and systems, crafting recommendations for efficiencies and improvements around you.
Our team can take the burden off your internal resources on a temporary or permanent basis – helping with everything from high-level strategic planning and cash flow projections to weekly bookkeeping. When it comes to accounting services, nonprofit accounting, and financial accounting, we fill in the gaps and serve as trusted advisors, while helping drive profitability and success.
We support teams that need help with outsourced accounting services, fractional CFO or CFO consulting, business accounting software, and more. We recognize that each client is different and we will tailor your services accordingly.
From Day-to-Day Accounting. To Big Picture Planning.
We don’t send temps. You get a team of problem solvers.
As we fill in gaps, we plug into how your financial accounting team already works. We dive in quickly to learn your existing systems and financial processes.
We’re an extra set of hands to cover accounting services for small businesses, governments, and nonprofits. We can help with big-picture strategy as a fractional CFO, synthesize data for nonprofit accounting, or customize your current business accounting software to save time and cut your costs.
