The Alinëa Method

Four Phases. One Outcome: Financial Confidence.

Whether you start with foundational bookkeeping or full advisory leadership, the engagement follows the same disciplined path. We diagnose before we prescribe. We align before we execute. And we advise with the authority that comes from knowing your numbers inside and out.

1

Diagnose

We assess your current financial systems, tools, and reporting to understand what's working, what's broken, and what's missing.

2

Align

We design the right service configuration, establish touchpoint cadence, and set up the dashboards and reporting you need.

3

Execute

We deliver recurring monthly services with proactive communication, exception alerts, and continuous process refinement.

4

Advise

We provide quarterly strategic reviews, budget and forecast updates, and operational decision support.

Alinëa to... alignment.

What Each Phase Looks Like

Phase 01

Diagnose

Typically 1–2 weeks

Before we touch a single transaction, we need to understand what we're working with. The Diagnose phase is a structured review of your financial ecosystem — tools, processes, reporting, team, and gaps.

You'll receive a Financial Health Assessment that identifies risks, quick wins, and the recommended service configuration for your business. No surprises. No guesswork.

What You'll Get

  • Current-state financial systems audit
  • Tool & workflow assessment
  • Reporting gap analysis
  • Risk & opportunity identification
  • Financial Health Assessment report
  • Recommended service configuration
Phase 02

Align

Typically 2–4 weeks

With the diagnosis complete, we configure the engagement to match your exact needs. This means defining the service scope, establishing how and when we communicate, setting up dashboards, and ensuring everyone knows what to expect.

Alignment isn't a formality — it's the reason our engagements run smoothly from month one. When expectations are clear, execution is consistent.

What You'll Get

  • Tailored service scope & tier selection
  • Communication cadence (weekly/monthly)
  • Dashboard & reporting setup
  • Process documentation
  • Team introductions & access provisioning
  • Clear expectations & milestone timeline
Phase 03

Execute

Ongoing monthly delivery

This is where the work lives. Month after month, we deliver against the agreed scope — clean closes, accurate reporting, operational insight, and proactive communication. No waiting for you to ask. No end-of-year surprises.

We continuously refine processes, flag exceptions before they become problems, and look for ways to improve efficiency and accuracy every cycle.

What You'll Get

  • Recurring monthly service delivery
  • Proactive exception alerts
  • Consistent communication touchpoints
  • Continuous process refinement
  • Monthly financial package delivery
  • Real-time issue escalation
Phase 04

Advise

Quarterly + as needed

The best financial data in the world is useless if nobody helps you make decisions with it. The Advise phase connects your numbers to your strategy — quarterly reviews, budget recalibration, pricing analysis, and the kind of direct counsel that changes outcomes.

This isn't theory. It's grounded advice from someone who knows your business intimately because they've been in the systems every single month.

What You'll Get

  • Quarterly strategic financial review
  • Budget & forecast updates
  • Cash flow projection & scenario planning
  • Pricing & profitability analysis
  • Operational decision support
  • Growth readiness assessment
We believe in systems, not heroics. In cadence, not chaos. In structure that makes good decisions inevitable.

Every engagement is built on a foundation of clear expectations, disciplined execution, and proactive communication. That's not a tagline — it's how we operate.
