Bismarck is North Dakota's capital and the seat of Burleigh County, on the east bank of the Missouri River across from Mandan. State government and healthcare are major employers, and the city serves as a retail, medical, and service hub for a large agricultural region. Energy development in western North Dakota supports engineering, construction, and supply businesses. Small businesses include ag services, equipment dealers, contractors, trucking companies, and family owned retailers and restaurants.
Bismarck businesses serving agriculture and energy must plan for commodity driven demand swings and long winters, making cash forecasting and working capital management important. Contractors and energy suppliers need job costing, while firms working with state agencies benefit from organized, audit ready records. PSG keeps books accurate and current, and our fractional CFOs build forecasts, lender reporting, and succession ready financials.
North Dakota levies state income and corporate income taxes and a state sales tax, with many cities adding local sales taxes. Businesses in energy and agriculture often need cash flow planning around commodity cycles.
General information only, not tax advice. Rules change, so confirm specifics with a tax professional.
Yes. We work with Bismarck 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, North Dakota 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 Minot.

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.
