RUNNING A FEDEX BUSINESS?

Monthly CFO, Accounting & Tax for FedEx Contractors

 

Your books, your route economics and your tax return should all tell the same story. We close your books every month, build the reporting a FedEx operator actually needs, and prepare the tax returns from the numbers we keep.

 

Built for FedEx P&D and Linehaul owners. Fixed fees. Confidential.

 

Business tax and CFO services run on books we keep. Every business client starts on Foundation, so the numbers behind your returns and your decisions are ones we closed ourselves.

Start With Books That Are Right

One door in, whether you are new or established

New Contractor Launch

Starting a new CSA • Just closed on a route

 

Build the books correctly from day one so there is never catch-up work: QuickBooks on the FedEx chart of accounts, settlement mapping, opening balance sheet, and truck-by-truck asset and loan schedules.

 

  • Essentials: core QuickBooks build

  • Plus: adds entity consult, S-election filing, payroll mapping and first close walk-through

  • Complete: adds closing statement booking, second entity, lender reporting and a 13-week cash flow

 

Typical Fee Range: $1,500–$4,000

 

Free when you sign on for Growth or Strategic.

Free Diagnostic & Books Onboarding

Existing contractors

 

We start with a free diagnostic: your last return, trailing-12 P&L, bank and settlement statements, and a read-only look at your QuickBooks file. You get a records-condition rating and a fixed-fee proposal.

 

Onboarding then remaps your chart of accounts to the FedEx structure, cleans up the books, enters any unbooked months and converts you from QBD, Xero or spreadsheets if needed.

 

Diagnostic: Free

 

Onboarding Fee Range: $0–$2,500 + catch-up months

 

Setup is free when you sign on for Growth or Strategic.

Free setup terms. Setup is free when you sign on for Growth or Strategic. If you move to Foundation or leave within 12 months, the setup fee we waived becomes due. Catching up months that were never booked is billed separately.

Choose Your Level of Support

Monthly Accounting & CFO

 

One financial system underneath, three levels of thinking on top. Foundation is the starting point: clean, closed books. Growth adds controller review and the CFO reporting most FedEx operators need to run the business. Strategic is the full monthly CFO relationship. If you carry debt, report to a lender or run more than one CSA, Growth or Strategic is usually the right fit.

Foundation

The starting point

​

$1,000–$1,800
per month

 

Accurate monthly close, FedEx settlement mapping and a quarterly controller call. Best for a single CSA with simple finances.

​

Growth

Recommended

 

Controller review + CFO reporting

 

$1,300–$2,340
per month

 

Faster close, route performance reporting, monthly DSCR and a monthly CFO review by Loom video.

​

Strategic

The full monthly CFO

 

$2,300–$4,140
per month

 

Fastest close, weekly route reporting, 13-week cash flow, budget, scenarios and a direct line to Kevin.

​

Included in every plan:

 

Monthly reconciliation and close of all balance sheet accounts; FedEx settlement mapping and annual 1099-to-sales tie-out; depreciation, amortization, insurance allocation and loan schedules; monthly management-use financial statements; QuickBooks subscription at partner pricing; unlimited ad hoc questions.

 

How your fixed monthly fee is determined:

Ranges reflect operations of 1–60 routes. Your fixed fee depends on the routes you run on a normal weekday (each linehaul run counts as 4 P&D routes). Over 60 routes is quoted individually. Includes bank and card accounts (2 / 4 / 6), with additional accounts, CSAs and entities priced separately.

 

Management-use statements only. No audit, review or compilation report. Monthly fees are billed by ACH, timed to your FedEx settlement cycle.

What a FedEx CFO Actually Delivers

Reports built around how your business really runs

Route Performance Report

Revenue, cost and margin per route per day, built from FedEx performance files and QuickBooks. Exceptions are flagged and rural and city routes are shown separately.

DSCR & Debt Monitoring

Debt-service coverage every month. At Strategic, covenant tracking and a lender-ready reporting package.

13-Week Cash Flow

A cash forecast tied to settlement timing, payroll and loan payments, so you see a tight week before it arrives.

KPI Dashboard

Revenue per route and stop, labor percentage, fleet cost, cash and DSCR on one page.

Budget, Scenarios & Fleet Plan

An annual budget by month and location, models for a volume drop, rate change, new CSA or route purchase, and a truck-by-truck replacement and financing plan.

Ready When You Buy Again

Acquisition modeling at Strategic ties directly to our FedEx Acquisition Advisory, so growth decisions use numbers we already trust.

Tax Built From Books We Close

Keep More of What You Earn

 

Tax Planning & Strategy

 

A written business and personal tax plan with an ROI on every strategy, then the follow-through to make sure the savings happen: entity structure, owner compensation, depreciation timing, equipment purchases, retirement contributions and acquisition financing. Choose from three tiers, from an annual plan to quarterly implementation reviews and multi-year projections.
