Wilkes-Barre logistics providers, manufacturers and contractors rely on PSG for cost per load insight and fractional CFO planning across the Wyoming Valley.
Wilkes-Barre is the seat of Luzerne County in northeastern Pennsylvania, set along the Susquehanna River in the Wyoming Valley. Built on anthracite coal, the region has reinvented itself around healthcare, education and a large distribution and logistics sector along the interstate corridor. Wilkes University and King's College anchor downtown, and small businesses include manufacturers, trucking firms, contractors, restaurants and family owned retailers serving the Scranton and Wilkes-Barre area.
Distribution and trucking firms in Wilkes-Barre need cost per load analysis, equipment tracking and disciplined receivables with large shippers. Manufacturers require inventory costing and margin analysis, while contractors depend on job costing through northeastern Pennsylvania winters. PSG provides reliable bookkeeping, payroll support and fractional CFO forecasting that help Wyoming Valley owners manage working capital, finance equipment and plan growth.
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 Wilkes-Barre 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 Scranton, Allentown, Bethlehem, Binghamton 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.
