St. Joseph food processors, animal health companies and agribusinesses work with PSG to manage costs, cash and succession in northwest Missouri.
St. Joseph is the seat of Buchanan County in northwest Missouri, on the Missouri River north of Kansas City. Famous as the starting point of the Pony Express, it has a strong industrial base in food processing, animal health and manufacturing, part of a regional animal health corridor. Missouri Western State University adds an academic presence. Healthcare, trucking, agriculture, contractors and family owned retailers serve the city and surrounding farm communities.
St. Joseph food processors and animal health companies need batch costing, inventory valuation and careful margin analysis. Agricultural businesses face seasonal financing cycles, and trucking firms rely on fuel and equipment cost tracking. Many family owned companies are planning succession. PSG provides accurate monthly bookkeeping and fractional CFO support for forecasting, capital planning and exit readiness.
Missouri levies state income and corporate taxes, and sales tax rates vary by city and county. Kansas City and St. Louis also levy an earnings tax on residents and people who work in the city.

Yes. We work with St. Joseph 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, Missouri 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 Kansas City, Shawnee, Independence, Overland Park and Lenexa.

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.
