Palmdale machine shops, aerospace subcontractors and contractors across the Antelope Valley can count on PSG for compliance ready books and focused CFO guidance.
Palmdale sits in the Antelope Valley in northern Los Angeles County, on the high desert across the mountains from the San Fernando Valley. The city hosts a longstanding Air Force plant where major defense contractors build and test advanced aircraft, supporting a deep network of machine shops, engineering firms and technical subcontractors. Affordable land has also drawn logistics, solar and construction companies, while healthcare, retail and home services serve a steadily growing residential community.
Aerospace and defense subcontractors in Palmdale need contract level cost accounting, disciplined timekeeping and books ready for government compliance reviews. Contractors and solar installers need job costing and equipment accounting, and retailers and service firms manage California payroll rules. PSG keeps books reconciled monthly, builds reporting by contract or job, and provides fractional CFO guidance on indirect rates, cash flow and financing for Antelope Valley firms.
California requires most LLCs and corporations to pay an annual minimum franchise tax, charges state sales and use tax through the CDTFA, and has strict payroll and wage rules. Several cities also impose their own business or gross receipts taxes.
General information only, not tax advice. Rules change, so confirm specifics with a tax professional.
Yes. We work with Palmdale 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, California 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 Santa Clarita, Burbank, Pasadena, Monrovia and Arcadia.

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.
