About MCKI
Hi — I'm Mike. I make small business numbers make sense.
Twenty-plus years in finance, a practice built on precision, and one belief underneath all of it: you shouldn't need an accounting degree to understand your own business.

The name is the mission.
I spent twenty years inside companies before starting MCKI in 2022 — accounts receivable, accounting management, controller-level work, with a degree in Finance and Accounting underneath it. What I kept seeing was the same thing everywhere: owners making real decisions on numbers nobody had actually verified. Books that "balanced" but weren't right. People paying for reports they couldn't read.
MCKI is my answer to that — Managing Cost for Keen Impact, because for a small business every dollar has a job. Books done precisely, explained plainly, watched constantly. Some of my client relationships now span more than a decade — which is what happens when the numbers keep being right.
How I work
Four things I will not compromise on
Honest answers
Sometimes the answer is "you're fine, you don't need me." I'd rather lose a sale than invent a problem. A third of my free calls end exactly that way.
Precision as a habit
Every account reconciled to the dollar, every month. Not because anyone's checking — because that's the job.
I build my own tools
My clients' books get a layer of protection most bookkeepers can't offer: checks I built over 20 years of catching problems, run every month, with every flag investigated personally.
