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.

MCKI stands for Managing Cost for Keen Impact — because for a small business, every dollar has a job. 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. 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

Plain English, always

If you can't act on it, it isn't a report. One page, no jargon, what happened and whether you should care.

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.

I truly believe that money gives you options — and options give you freedom. Clean books are where that starts.
