You Don’t have to do everything yourself.
Clawson Consulting provides a comprehensive range of financial and ancillary services designed to let you focus your own time where it is most important: on the successful operation and growth of your business.
For example, in addition to providing a wide range of accounting services, we have negotiated better rates for telephone and computer services; secured cost-saving rates for health, disability, life and dental insurance; managed special projects; planned and executed events; negotiated lease terms for office space and automobiles; arranged for spousal anniversary gifts to be selected, purchased, and delivered; and have even helped clients select their ad agency.
By helping you manage your money and your time, you will have more money, and more time for what matters most.

Business Counsel
Having an experienced bookkeeper, financial operations planner-manager, and mentor can be invaluable when you own a small business or start-up company. Often, this determines whether you succeed or fail. Unfortunately, many small business and start-up owners fail to realize that such crucial and timely advice is available without the huge financial burden of a full-time, on-staff financial professional. Clawson Consulting is your answer.
Let Clawson Consulting serve as both your sounding board and guide, providing unbiased support, encouragement, and experience to assist you in growing your business. Working together with a singular focus on your business goals, we apply a pragmatic, logical decision-making approach that helps you arrive at the best solutions for any challenge you encounter.

Project Management
Special projects can have a tremendous impact on the growth of a small business. Unfortunately, many special projects never get off the ground. Why? Because most small business owners let their business run them, rather than running their business. They make sales calls, handle new business development, collect payments and pay bills, answer the phone, and shut the lights off at the end of the day.
Clawson Consulting provides a comprehensive range of management services designed to let you focus your own energies on growing your business, while we assist in the day-to- day details of special projects.
As experienced managers, we recognize the benefits of effective, organized project management, and we can enable you to implement successful processes without the cost burdens associated with hiring a full-time project manager.
Our Project Management services provide you with the expert, professional guidance and assistance necessary for success, including:
- A comprehensive, software-based project plan, detailing major and minor milestones required to move your business toward your goals
- Market research and timely competitive analysis
- Marketing communications
- Recommendation of outsourced vendors
- Ongoing assessment of performance (our plans are based on accountability), and recommendations for adjustments to the plan
