Layton is a Davis County city on the northern Wasatch Front, between Salt Lake City and Ogden. Hill Air Force Base sits next door, supporting aerospace maintenance, engineering and defense contracting firms throughout the area. The city is also a retail hub for Davis County, and fast residential growth supports builders, home services, healthcare practices, restaurants and outdoor recreation businesses near the mountains and Great Salt Lake.
Defense and aerospace contractors in Layton need compliant accounting systems, indirect rate tracking and job costing that stands up to audits. Builders and home service companies rely on job costing and cash planning, while retailers watch inventory and margins. PSG provides monthly bookkeeping and payroll support, and our fractional CFOs help owners forecast backlog and plan growth.
Utah has a flat state income tax and a corporate franchise tax, and sales tax rates vary by city and county. Fast growing businesses benefit from keeping payroll registrations and sales tax filings current.

Yes. We work with Layton 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, Utah 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 Roy, Ogden, Bountiful, Salt Lake City and West Valley City.

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.
