Springdale spans Washington and Benton counties in Northwest Arkansas, between Fayetteville and Rogers. It is the headquarters city of Tyson Foods, and poultry processing, food production and trucking shape its economy. Suppliers to the region's large retailers and food companies operate alongside manufacturers and warehouses. A diverse, entrepreneurial community supports restaurants, grocers, contractors and service businesses, and a revitalized downtown connects to the regional trail network.
Springdale food processors and suppliers need batch costing, inventory valuation and commodity aware pricing. Trucking companies rely on lane, fuel and equipment cost tracking, and retail suppliers need deduction and margin reporting. Contractors depend on job costing amid regional growth. PSG provides dependable monthly bookkeeping and fractional CFO guidance on cash forecasting, working capital and financing.
Arkansas levies state income and corporate income taxes along with state and local sales taxes. Businesses selling across county and city lines need to track where sales occur so local rates are applied correctly.
General information only, not tax advice. Rules change, so confirm specifics with a tax professional.
Yes. We work with Springdale 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, Arkansas 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 Rogers, Bentonville, Fort Smith, Joplin and Muskogee.

“If you want to sleep better at night, hire Phoenix Strategy Group.”

“PSG and David Metzler structured an extraordinary M&A deal during a very chaotic period in our business, and I couldn't be more pleased with our partnership.”

“PSG saved my dream. They helped us get our financials in order and renegotiate our lending agreements, pulling us through a tough financial crunch.”

“As our fractional CFO, they accomplished more in six months than our last two full-time CFOs combined. If you're looking for unparalleled financial strategy and integration, hiring PSG is one of the best decisions you can make.”

“Hire PSG if you want to make your life easier and have accurate data.”

“As a home service business owner, understanding complex financials and Unit Economics always seemed overwhelming—until we started working with Phoenix Strategy Group.”

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.
