If you’re managing projects across the state, growing a professional services firm in New York City, overseeing real estate investments, or trying to keep margins healthy as expenses rise, you need financials you can actually rely on.
That’s where LLŪM comes in.
Since 1996, we’ve helped businesses gain clarity, confidence, and control over their finances through outsourced accounting, bookkeeping, controller, and Fractional CFO services.
We don’t believe accounting should simply tell you what happened last month. Your numbers should help you understand what’s happening now and make smarter decisions about what comes next.
Whether you’re based in New York City, Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, Syracuse, Long Island, or anywhere across New York, LLŪM gives you experienced financial support without the cost and complexity of building an entire in-house accounting department.
In a competitive market like New York, knowing your numbers isn’t optional.
You need to understand where your money is going, which parts of the business are actually profitable, what cash flow looks like months from now, and whether your financial systems can keep up with your growth.
For nearly three decades, LLŪM has helped more than 1,000 businesses strengthen their financial operations, improve reporting, and make better business decisions.
Our team combines experienced accounting professionals, modern cloud-based systems, and practical financial guidance so you can spend less time sorting through numbers and more time running your business.
New York construction and real estate businesses deal with tight margins, complex projects, changing costs, retainage, and cash flow demands. We help with job costing, WIP reporting, cash flow forecasting, project profitability analysis, and financial oversight.
When inventory, labor, purchasing, and operating costs change, your margins can change with them. We help improve cost accounting, inventory visibility, purchasing controls, reporting, and profitability analysis.
Your business may sell expertise, but you still need the numbers behind it to work. We help firms manage billing, payroll, budgeting, financial reporting, cash flow, and performance metrics.
Your accounting shouldn’t slow you down.
Some businesses need an experienced team to take over day-to-day accounting. Others already have bookkeepers but need controller-level oversight. Growing companies may need a CFO’s strategic perspective without needing a full-time executive.
LLŪM meets you where you are.
Hiring an internal accounting department in New York can get expensive quickly.
Salaries are only part of the equation. You also have recruiting, benefits, management, training, software, turnover, and the challenge of finding people with the right experience.
LLŪM gives you access to an experienced accounting team without carrying all that overhead.
We can help with:
You get organized books, reliable reporting, and a financial team you can turn to when questions come up.
Growth creates opportunity. It also creates more complicated financial decisions.
At this stage, bookkeeping alone isn’t enough.
LLŪM’s Fractional CFO services give you executive-level financial guidance without requiring you to hire a full-time CFO.
We help with:
Whether you’re expanding across New York, preparing for financing, improving margins, or simply trying to get a better handle on where your business is headed, we’ll help turn your financial information into practical next steps.
A financial report isn’t very useful if you don’t know what to do with it.
Good accounting gives you answers.
At LLŪM, our job isn’t simply to deliver reports. We help you understand what those reports mean for your business.
New York businesses don’t have time to chase down their accountant every time they have a question.
Neither should you.
At LLŪM, responsive communication is part of the service. We stay involved, answer questions, explain what we’re seeing, and help you work through important financial decisions.
You won’t simply receive a report and be left to figure out what it means.
Our accountants, controllers, and Fractional CFOs become an extension of your team, giving you experienced financial support when you need it.
That’s one reason many of our client relationships last for years.
There are plenty of accounting firms in New York.
The harder part is finding one that fits your business.
Before choosing an accounting partner, ask:
LLŪM has been helping businesses solve these challenges since 1996. Not sure where you stand today? Start with the LLŪM Diagnostic.
Growth can hide financial problems.
Revenue may be climbing while cash flow gets tighter. Your team may be busier while margins shrink. New projects may look profitable until unexpected costs start showing up.
The larger your business becomes, the more important financial visibility becomes.
LLŪM helps you stay ahead with organized accounting, timely reporting, cash flow planning, and experienced financial leadership.
Instead of finding problems months later, you’ll have the information you need to identify them earlier and respond faster.
Fewer financial surprises. Better decisions. More confidence about where you’re going next.
For nearly three decades, we’ve focused on something simple: helping business owners understand their numbers and use them to build stronger companies.
Our accountants, controllers, and Fractional CFOs work together to give you dependable reporting, practical financial insight, and experienced guidance.
We don’t believe in making accounting more complicated than it needs to be.
We organize the numbers. We help you understand them. Then we help you use them.
That’s the difference between simply keeping the books and having a financial partner behind your business.
“LLŪM’s experience and assistance has been crucial as we embark on an accounting system migration. Throw in the curve ball of an unexpected change to our internal Controller, and LLŪM’s expertise in accounting best practices, across industries, and with NetSuite has been game-changing for us. Although all work is completed remotely, it feels as if our LLŪM team is here with us. Even better is that Tim, our primary contact at LLŪM, makes accounting – and learning about accounting – actually fun.”

“At the end of 2021 my company was short-staffed and way behind in accounting. We struggled to find the support and help we needed until we found LLŪM. I am so grateful to be working with Laurie, a Controller at LLŪM. She is so knowledgeable, attentive, and patient. She helped us to get caught up and still provides the continued support and mentorship that I desperately need. I do not exaggerate when I say I would not have made it through this last year without her. It’s been a great experience and I would highly recommend LLŪM to anyone with accounting needs.”
Square Construction
“After going through two accounting firms, we had gotten to the point of giving up on the accounting for our construction company. We could not find a specialized company that understood Timberline software alongside having good industry knowledge. We were referred by our CPA to LLŪM and from our initial meeting, we were blown away. Fast forward 2 years and we are now receiving a reliable set of financials and meeting with a Controller that understands our industry and trade.”
Building Processes & Job Costing Clarity
“LLŪM completely transformed how we manage our job costing and AR/AP. Before working with them, we didn’t have clear processes, and our WIP reports were overwhelming. Now, we not only understand our over- and under-billings, but we also have the confidence to make the right financial decisions for our projects and company growth. Their team helped us build a financial structure that gives us clarity and consistency month after month.”
Tax Savings, Financial Clarity & Strategic Partnerships
“The LLŪM team connected us with a construction-focused tax CPA who uncovered thousands of dollars in R&D credits and tax opportunities we had been missing for years. We now close our financials every month and review cash flow forecasts and WIP reports to clearly understand job performance. LLŪM also created SOPs for our internal AR/AP staff, ensuring consistency and accountability. As an owner, I finally feel confident knowing our financials are accurate, our processes are strong, and I can make informed decisions about new projects and business growth.”

“We used to be three months behind on our financials, constantly playing catch-up and making decisions with outdated information. LLŪM helped us create efficient month-end processes so we can close our books by the 15th of each month. Now, our financials are accurate, timely, and actionable. This change has freed me from being buried in details — I can finally focus on business development and driving growth instead of worrying about what’s missing in the books.”
Confidence Through Accurate WIP Reporting
“Before LLŪM, I would stay up at night worrying about cash flow and job performance because I had no clear visibility. Now, I actually look forward to our monthly CFO meetings. We review timely WIP reports, updated forecasts, and accurate financials that give me complete confidence in our numbers. Those conversations have gone from stressful to strategic — we’re making decisions based on real data, not gut instinct.”
“What sets LLŪM apart is their proactive approach. They don’t just handle the basic accounting tasks; they go above and beyond to provide valuable insights and recommendations for improving our financial health. Whenever I have a question or need assistance, their team is always responsive and readily available to provide guidance in a clear and concise manner. I highly recommend LLŪM to any business owner or individual seeking a reliable, knowledgeable and trustworthy accounting partner.”

“LLŪM came in and was our backbone in implementing Avalara and multiple automation technologies within our brand. We grew drastically and LLŪM ramped up with us throughout the whole process. Their accounting staff was attentive and responsive throughout our entire engagement. We ended up achieving growth to where we needed to hire our own accounting team and LLŪM was extremely helpful in that process as well! We couldn’t have done this without them.”
