Huntsville defense contractors, engineering firms and startups partner with PSG for audit conscious books and CFO planning that fits the Rocket City's contract economy.
Huntsville is the seat of Madison County in north Alabama, widely known as the Rocket City. Redstone Arsenal and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center anchor a deep defense and aerospace economy, with Cummings Research Park hosting engineering, software and research firms. The University of Alabama in Huntsville supplies talent, and fast residential growth supports builders, healthcare practices, restaurants and a rising number of technology startups.
Government contractors in Huntsville need compliant accounting systems, indirect rate tracking and job costing that can withstand audits. Engineering and software firms focus on project profitability and cash flow between contract milestones. Builders and service businesses benefit from job costing and payroll support. PSG provides monthly books and reporting, and our fractional CFOs help owners manage rates, forecast backlog and prepare for growth or sale.
Alabama taxes business income at the state level, and many cities and counties add their own sales taxes and occupational or license taxes. Some jurisdictions administer their own local taxes, so businesses selling across several municipalities need clean records by location.
General information only, not tax advice. Rules change, so confirm specifics with a tax professional.
Yes. We work with Huntsville 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, Alabama 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 Madison, Chattanooga, Murfreesboro, Franklin and Birmingham.

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.
