Sterling Heights defense contractors, auto suppliers and machine shops work with PSG for compliant books and CFO guidance through shifting production cycles.
Sterling Heights is a Macomb County city north of Detroit and a major center of automotive and defense manufacturing. Stellantis operates a large assembly plant here, and General Dynamics Land Systems anchors a cluster of defense contractors and engineering firms. Tier suppliers, tooling shops and machining companies fill its industrial corridors. The city's diverse community supports restaurants, markets, healthcare practices, contractors and retail along its main roads.
Sterling Heights defense contractors need compliant government contract accounting, labor tracking and indirect rate calculations. Automotive suppliers and machine shops rely on program and job costing, tooling tracking and inventory accuracy as production schedules shift. PSG provides accurate monthly bookkeeping and fractional CFO support for cash forecasting, pricing and financing through volatile industry cycles and program changes.
Michigan has a flat state income tax and a corporate income tax, and several cities such as Detroit levy their own income taxes on residents and workers. Employers must track where employees live and work.
General information only, not tax advice. Rules change, so confirm specifics with a tax professional.
Yes. We work with Sterling Heights 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, Michigan 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 Troy, Rochester Hills, Royal Oak, St. Clair Shores and Southfield.

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.
