PSG supports Norfolk ship repair subcontractors, logistics firms and downtown businesses with audit ready books and CFO planning for a Navy and port economy.
Norfolk sits at the heart of Hampton Roads where the Elizabeth River meets the Chesapeake Bay. Naval Station Norfolk, the world's largest naval base, shapes the economy along with ship repair yards, defense contractors and a busy container port. Old Dominion University, a major medical center and a revitalized downtown with restaurants, arts venues and waterfront attractions add variety. Small businesses include marine and defense subcontractors, logistics firms, contractors, hospitality operators and professional practices.
Ship repair and defense subcontractors need contract costing, timekeeping discipline and documentation for government and prime contractor review. Logistics firms depend on freight costing and receivables control, while hospitality businesses manage seasonal and deployment related swings. PSG provides accurate monthly bookkeeping, contract and customer profitability reporting, and fractional CFO planning that helps Norfolk owners manage cash and grow.
Virginia levies state income and corporate income taxes and a sales tax with regional variations, and many localities impose a gross receipts based business license tax along with business personal property tax.

Yes. We work with Norfolk 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, Virginia 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 Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Newport News, Hampton and Virginia Beach.

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.
