C-Suite Level Expertise • CPA-lead Firm
Is This Where You Are?
These are the situations that bring established business owners to us. The books get done, but something is still missing.
Numbers Without Meaning
Your bookkeeper hands you financials every month, but you're not sure what they're telling you. The reports exist. The insight doesn't. You need someone who can translate the data into decisions.
No One Watching the Books
Your bookkeeper categorizes transactions, but no one reviews their work for errors or inconsistencies. Small mistakes compound over time. A controller catches what others miss.
Big Decisions, No Data
You're considering a new hire, a major purchase, or a new location. But you're working from gut feel instead of projections. Strategic decisions require financial modeling, not guesswork.
Month-End Is a Mess
Your books technically close, but there's no formal process. No accruals, no adjusting entries, no reconciliation review. The result is financials you can't fully trust.
Year-End Surprises
Tax season arrives and suddenly you're scrambling to make sense of the numbers. Proactive tax planning throughout the year prevents the surprises and reduces what you owe.
Ready for the Next Level
You've grown past the point where DIY accounting makes sense. You need financial leadership that matches where your business is headed, not where it started.
Why Jargo
Financial leadership built on 16 years of real-world C-suite experience.
CFO Experience
John Long spent 16 years as a CFO and Executive VP. He's been in the seat, made the decisions, and knows what financial leadership actually looks like from the inside.

We're located in Boca Raton and serve businesses across Palm Beach County and South Florida. Local presence means local accountability.
CPA Certified
Credentialed expertise matters when the numbers matter. John holds a CPA license along with degrees from Florida Atlantic, The Citadel, and George Washington University.

Industries We Serve

Professional Services

Professional services firms need more than bookkeeping. You need controller-level visibility into WIP, profitability by client, and partner economics that actually make sense.

Healthcare & Medical

Medical practices, dental offices, clinics, therapy practices, and veterinary clinics with complex reimbursement and multi-provider accounting needs.
B2B Services
Services
Controller-level financial oversight for labor-intensive service businesses. Track profitability by client, manage utilization, and build the financial foundation for growth.

Services
Busy registers and full appointment books can mask thin margins. You need financial leadership that sees beyond the daily transactions.
Construction & Trades

Real Estate
Real Estate
Commission volatility, trust account compliance, and agent split tracking for brokerages and property managers across South Florida.
Wholesale & Distribution
Trade
You buy before you sell and collect after you pay. Managing cash flow and margins across thousands of SKUs requires financial visibility most distributors don't have.
E-commerce
Commerce
Your dashboard shows revenue. We show you what you actually keep after fees, returns, COGS, and storage costs.
Retail
Commerce
You built a real retail business. Now you need financial leadership that matches, not just someone recording transactions.
Hospitality & Tourism
Hospitality
Peak season pays for the whole year. Without solid financial planning, you spend slow months wondering if you'll make it to busy season.
Marine & Boating
Hospitality
South Florida marine businesses juggle seasonal cash flow, expensive inventory, and multiple revenue streams. Controller-level oversight keeps you from flying blind.
Restaurants & Food Service
Hospitality
Thin margins demand precise tracking. We provide controller-level oversight to separate profitable operations from money pits and build the financial foundation for growth.
Hotels & Lodging
Hospitality
Lodging businesses juggle seasonal cash flow, OTA platform fees, and investor reporting. We bring controller-level oversight to ensure your financials reflect true performance.
Manufacturing
Production
Product manufacturers, breweries, distilleries, and fabrication shops where inventory, job costing, and production efficiency require financial oversight beyond basic bookkeeping.
Transportation & Logistics
Logistics
Trucking companies, freight brokers, moving companies, and courier services where cash flow timing and per-load profitability determine survival.
Education & Childcare
Services
Enrollment cycles create cash flow patterns that don't match your expenses. We bring controller and CFO-level oversight to schools and childcare centers ready to grow sustainably.
Nonprofits
Nonprofit
