02 · Our approach

Four steps. One accountable partner.

The same rhythm on every engagement, whether we are cleaning up the books or running your leadership meeting.

Step 01

Listen

A first conversation, then time inside your business with your people and your numbers. No templates until we understand how you actually work.

Step 02

Diagnose

Within ten business days you receive a short written diagnosis: what is working, what is costing you and the few decisions that matter most.

Step 03

Design

Together we design the plan, the processes and the reporting rhythm, sized to your team and your budget.

Step 04

Run

We stay to make it real: weekly or monthly cadence, one accountable partner and a single page that shows progress.

04In their words

Client testimonials

For the first time in eleven years I know on the tenth of every month whether we made money. The monthly review is the most useful hour of my month.

Ani K.Owner, family bakery, Glendale

They mapped our install process with the crew, not around them. Callbacks dropped and I stopped getting phone calls on Saturdays.

Robert M.President, HVAC contractor, Burbank

We were three entities, two bookkeepers and zero calendars. Now everything is in one place and I have not paid a late penalty since.

Lilit H.Managing partner, dental group, Pasadena

Makar’s team gave us a plan we could actually follow. Three priorities a quarter, a scorecard every week, and a lot less arguing in the leadership meeting.

Daniel S.CEO, logistics company, Los Angeles

When cash got tight they were calm and specific. Twelve weeks later we were current with every vendor and finally profitable again.
