Strategic Planning and Advisory Services: 

The CPAs with an End Game!

We take care of the short term so you can plan for the long term!

What separates Kaya Accounting from many other CPA firms?

Not only do we have the financial accounting experience you need. We have experience working with PE companies and other investors. If you eventually hope to sell the business or attract strategic investors, we understand the end game. Kaya Accounting can work with you to position your business for achieving its long term strategic goals. 

We think short term in order to work long term.  By establishing the accounting and reporting foundation, we help you build the future: from setting up the accounting to eventually making the investor “Deck”, to managing the due diligence, we can be with you for the whole process.  We understand what investors are looking for as they identify target companies, so we know how to prepare your business to provide what they need.  It goes beyond EBITDA, you have to have your financial house in order!
