Where Rockland's Professionals Hang Their Shingles

Because New City hosts the county courthouse and government center, the hamlet has long been a hub for attorneys, accountants, surveyors, title companies and the support businesses around them. Add medical and mental health practices serving the surrounding Clarkstown neighborhoods, and you get a business district built on licensed professionals.

These owners are experts in their fields, but few trained in managing cash flow, setting partner draws or budgeting for growth. That's the gap a fractional CFO fills.

A Part-Time CFO Without a Full-Time Salary

A practice with three to fifteen people rarely needs, or can afford, a full-time finance executive. It does need someone watching the big picture. Our accounting and CFO services typically cover:

Monthly reviews of revenue, margins and collections
Budgets and forecasts for hiring or a new location
Partner or owner draw planning based on actual cash
Benchmarks you can track, such as revenue per professional
Preparation for meetings with banks or landlords

We don't replace your CPA's tax work. We help you make better decisions all year so tax season holds fewer surprises.

Collections, Retainers and Trust Accounting Basics

Law firms commonly hold client retainers, and medical offices wait on insurers. Both create a gap between work performed and cash received. We track receivables by age, help you follow up on slow payers and keep client funds clearly separated from operating money in your books. Attorneys are responsible for their own trust account compliance, but organized bookkeeping makes those obligations far easier to meet.

Payroll and People Policies for Small Practices

Professional offices run on a handful of crucial staff: paralegals, office managers, hygienists, billing specialists. Losing one hurts. Sound HR practices help you keep them:

Written job descriptions and clear pay structures
An employee handbook that reflects New York requirements
Organized onboarding, from I-9 to direct deposit
Consistent records for paid time off and sick leave

Combined with accurate payroll and quarterly NYS-45 filings, these basics reduce turnover and risk. See our HR management page for details.

Statements That Partners Actually Read

Many practice owners receive reports they never open. We keep ours short: a one-page summary up top, followed by a profit and loss statement, balance sheet and cash flow view. Every line ties to reconciled accounts, and we add a few sentences explaining what changed. That's the version partners read at the monthly meeting, and it usually sparks better questions than a stack of raw reports ever did.

How New City Clients Work With Us

Everything is online, which suits busy professionals between appointments and court dates. Natalie Montealegre, MBA, combines business training with a clinical psychology background, an uncommon blend that therapists and healthcare practices often appreciate. We work in English and Spanish, and in-person meetings take place at our Old Bridge, New Jersey office by appointment.

Neighbors in Clarkstown's retail centers and riverside Nyack also rely on us; the Rockland County services page covers the whole area.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a fractional CFO actually do for a small practice?

A fractional CFO provides senior-level financial guidance on a part-time basis. For a practice, that means reviewing monthly results, building budgets, forecasting cash, planning owner compensation and preparing for financing. You get strategic insight without hiring a full-time executive, and the engagement scales with your needs.

Can you help my law firm with retainer and trust bookkeeping?

We keep client funds clearly separated from operating accounts in your books and reconcile them monthly. Attorneys remain responsible for complying with professional rules on client trust accounts, but organized records make those obligations much easier to satisfy and document.

Do you provide audited financial statements?

No. We're not a CPA firm and don't perform audits or attestation. We prepare accurate, reconciled internal financial statements that most small practices use for management and many lenders accept. If audited statements are required, your CPA can work from our records.

Does New York require paid sick leave for small offices?

New York State has a paid sick leave law covering most private employers, with requirements that vary by employer size. Rules can change, so we help you build a policy that reflects current law and track accruals in payroll. For complex situations, consult an employment attorney.

How often will we meet?

Most CFO clients meet monthly by video, with quick questions handled by email anytime. During budgeting season or before a major decision, we meet more often. Smaller practices sometimes prefer quarterly reviews.
