PSG helps Minot ag suppliers, energy service companies and contractors keep accurate books and plan cash flow around harvests, oil cycles and short building seasons.
Minot is the commercial hub of north central North Dakota, set in the Souris River valley in Ward County. Minot Air Force Base is a major employer, and the surrounding region supports grain farming, agricultural services and energy activity linked to western North Dakota oil production. Minot State University and a regional medical center add stability, and the Norsk Hostfest heritage celebration reflects the area's Scandinavian roots. Small businesses include ag suppliers, contractors, trucking firms, retailers and restaurants.
Ag related businesses face seasonal cash flow tied to planting and harvest, while energy service and trucking firms see swings with oil activity. Contractors work within short building seasons, and retailers serve a population influenced by base staffing. PSG keeps Minot books current, builds forecasts around these cycles and provides fractional CFO support for equipment financing, staffing and growth planning.
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 Minot 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 Bismarck.

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.
