Augusta-Richmond County is a consolidated city and county in east Georgia on the Savannah River, across from South Carolina's Aiken County. The Army's Fort Eisenhower, formerly Fort Gordon, has made the area a center for military cyber operations, and a growing cybersecurity industry has followed. Healthcare is a major employer, led by a large medical college and hospital system. The Masters Tournament brings global visitors each spring, and local businesses include contractors, defense suppliers, restaurants, and manufacturers.
Augusta companies supporting the military and cyber mission need compliant contract accounting, accurate timekeeping, and indirect cost tracking. Hospitality businesses face a dramatic spike during tournament week, requiring careful cash and staffing plans, while healthcare practices need clean revenue cycle reporting. PSG maintains accurate monthly books, and our fractional CFOs build contract level profitability, cash forecasts, and financial packages that help Augusta owners bid and grow.
Georgia levies state income and corporate taxes plus state and local sales taxes that vary by county. Businesses with employees register for state withholding and unemployment insurance, and many cities require an annual business license.
General information only, not tax advice. Rules change, so confirm specifics with a tax professional.
Yes. We work with Augusta-Richmond County companies through a dedicated team that is entirely US based, combining Big Four accounting experience with years of operating experience across industries. Your team closes the books on a regular schedule, works inside the accounting tools you already use and looks at your numbers the way an operator would, not just a bookkeeper.
Typically bank and card reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, payroll support, Georgia sales tax tracking and monthly financial statements you can act on. Growing companies can add fractional CFO support for forecasting, budgeting and cash planning.
Usually when decisions start to outgrow the books: raising capital or bank financing, opening a new location, making key hires, tightening margins or preparing for a future sale. A fractional CFO adds forecasting and strategic guidance without the cost of a full time executive.
We also work with businesses in Columbia, Athens-Clarke County, Sumter, Spartanburg and Macon.

Hi! I'm Sam, a financial leader who's managed operations from startups to $40M enterprises.
I've led licensing deals with Disney, Marvel, and Viacom, while overseeing products across 35,000 retail stores. Through SHK Financial, I've helped 15+ high-growth companies succeed, including recovering $2M in receivables for a major client and rebuilding a $10M ARR company's accounting system in 6 months. Now, as Chief Accounting Officer at PSG, I oversee 50+ revenue streams and help launch many successful 8-figure businesses.
My journey started uniquely - while studying finance at Fresno State, I taught both chess and accounting to students, teaching me that success in finance, like in chess, is all about strategic thinking and seeing several moves ahead.
