About
Not advising from a distance. Running the books, the payroll, the filings, and the bank conversations from the inside.
Based in Minneapolis, working with owners across the Twin Cities.
SBMC LLC is a Minnesota business management and consulting firm. Over twenty-one years we have worked with more than a hundred owner-operated businesses — retail stores, restaurants and cafes, hotels and motels, wholesale and distribution — and more than a hundred of them are still with us today.
Behind the engagement is a team of accountants and bookkeepers carrying over twenty years of expertise. That depth is the point: we are not learning your industry on your time. We already know where the margin leaks, which filings slip, what a lender will ask for on page four of the application, and which back-office habits quietly cap a company's growth.
So we take it off your desk. You focus on customers, staff, and growth. We handle the accounting, the compliance, the vendors, the banking, and the paperwork — and we tell you what the numbers mean while there is still time to act on them. That is the difference between a business that runs on its owner and a business that can scale past them.
Your accounting records, books, and supporting documents remain your property throughout the engagement.
Two decades of repetition in a handful of industries beats general familiarity with all of them.
Now expanding
Dental and medical clinics. We are bringing the same model to practice owners — practice administration, payroll, insurance and vendor coordination, compliance, and monthly financials a clinician can read in five minutes between patients.
Specialists, not a switchboard. The person who knows your file is the person who answers when you call.
Lending & banking
Prepares and presents loan applications and runs the bank relationship through to funding — statements, projections, and every follow-up question. Our clients have secured approximately $50 million through the lender network he maintains.
Tax & accounting
Owns the books, the financial statements, and the tax work — sales tax, income tax, and payroll tax, prepared accurately and filed on the calendar rather than at the deadline.
Client relations & sales
Customer relations manager and your first point of contact. She scopes new engagements and keeps communication moving once you are a client.
Supporting them is a bench of accountants and bookkeepers with more than twenty years of combined expertise, so the work does not stop when one person is unavailable.
Financial and administrative work delivered when it is supposed to be, not when it is chased.
Reports you can actually read, and a responsive answer when something needs a decision.
Services adjusted in writing as the business changes, without renegotiating the relationship.
We'll listen first, then put together a scope that fits.
