Rapid City is the seat of Pennington County on the eastern edge of the Black Hills in western South Dakota, the gateway to Mount Rushmore and a wide region of national parks and monuments. Tourism supports hotels, restaurants, outfitters and attractions, while Ellsworth Air Force Base nearby brings defense spending. Monument Health anchors a regional healthcare economy, and ranching, construction, trucking and retail serve a vast rural trade area with few competing cities.
Tourism and hospitality businesses in Rapid City face strong summer peaks and quiet winters, requiring careful cash planning, seasonal payroll and inventory control. Contractors need job costing within short building seasons, and defense suppliers need contract level reporting. PSG keeps books reconciled monthly, builds reporting by season, job or location, and offers fractional CFO guidance on reserves, financing and year round profitability.
South Dakota has no state individual or corporate income tax, but it levies a broad state sales tax, and cities add local sales taxes. Because sales tax applies to many services, invoicing needs care.
General information only, not tax advice. Rules change, so confirm specifics with a tax professional.
Yes. We work with Rapid City 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, South 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.

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.
