Scranton distributors, manufacturers and family owned businesses work with PSG to manage costs, cash and succession planning in northeastern Pennsylvania.
Scranton is the seat of Lackawanna County in northeastern Pennsylvania, a former anthracite coal and railroad center whose heritage lives on at Steamtown National Historic Site. Today healthcare and education, including the University of Scranton, are major employers. Its location at the junction of major interstates has made it a growing warehousing and distribution hub, and manufacturing remains important. Contractors, restaurants, professional firms and family owned retailers serve the wider region.
Scranton distribution and warehousing companies need inventory accuracy and customer profitability reporting, while manufacturers rely on job costing and margin analysis. Healthcare providers need dependable payroll and revenue tracking, and many family businesses are planning succession. PSG provides accurate monthly bookkeeping and fractional CFO guidance on cash forecasting, capital planning and exit readiness for owners thinking about the next generation.
Pennsylvania levies a flat state income tax, a corporate net income tax, and a statewide sales tax. Most municipalities levy a local earned income tax, and Philadelphia has its own wage and business income taxes.

Yes. We work with Scranton 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, Pennsylvania 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 Wilkes-Barre, Binghamton, Allentown, Bethlehem and Reading.

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.
