01
Executive & administrative management
Day-to-day oversight of operations, so the routine decisions and administrative load stop landing on the owner and the business stops running on one person.
Services
Everything that keeps the business running.
Eleven service lines, engaged as a full package or in the pieces you need. Twenty-one years of doing this work for owner-operated businesses. Scope is set per client and updated by written agreement.
02
Business consulting & strategic advisory
Pricing, margins, staffing, and expansion decisions argued from your actual numbers — with twenty-one years of pattern recognition behind the advice.
03
Bookkeeping & general ledger maintenance
Books kept accurate and current, so you always know where the business stands without reconstructing a quarter first.
04
Financial statements, budgeting & cash flow
Reporting, budgets, and cash flow forecasting clear enough to act on — and ready the day a lender, auditor, or buyer asks for them.
05
Payroll administration & payroll tax reporting
Payroll processed accurately and on time, with payroll tax reporting handled and filed for you.
06
Sales & income tax preparation
Sales and income tax filings prepared and coordinated on the calendar rather than at the deadline, across every jurisdiction you sell in.
07
Loan applications & bank relations
Loan packages prepared, presented, and negotiated through to funding. We maintain an extensive network of financial institutions, so your application goes to lenders who fund businesses like yours — clients have secured approximately $50 million this way.
08
Compliance, vendor & banking support
Support staying compliant and managing the vendor and banking relationships the business depends on.
09
Liaison services
Direct coordination with attorneys, accountants, lenders, and government agencies on your behalf, so you stop relaying messages between your own advisors.
10
Licenses, permits & insurance
Help securing and maintaining the licenses, permits, and insurance your business is required to carry.
11
POS system setup & maintenance
Point-of-sale systems set up and maintained so checkout, reporting, and reconciliation stay reliable.

Three straightforward structures, combined to fit the engagement.
Monthly services
A flat monthly fee covering standard accounting and administrative services.
Management fee
A flat monthly amount or an agreed percentage of gross sales.
Hourly
For work outside the standard scope, plus travel time and expenses.
Common questions
01
What does SBMC LLC actually do?
Three things: business services (bookkeeping, payroll, sales and income tax, licensing, POS), business management (executive and administrative oversight of day-to-day operations), and business consultation (strategy, margins, expansion, and financing). Most clients engage all three, but you can start with one.
02
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at 9601 Humboldt Ave S, and work with owners across the Twin Cities metro, including Saint Paul, Bloomington, and the surrounding Hennepin County area.
03
What kinds of businesses do you specialize in?
Retail, restaurants and cafes, hotels and motels, and wholesale and distribution. We are currently expanding into dental and medical clinics. Over twenty-one years we have worked with more than a hundred owner-operated businesses.
04
Can you help my business get a loan?
Yes. We prepare and present the full loan package, then take it to the financial institutions in our network rather than only your existing bank. Our clients have secured approximately $50 million in financing this way.
05
How much do your services cost?
Three structures, combined to fit the engagement: a flat monthly fee for standard accounting and administrative services, a management fee charged as a flat monthly amount or an agreed percentage of gross sales, and an hourly rate for work outside the standard scope. Scope and pricing are set per client.
06
Do I have to buy every service?
No. Scope is set per client and updated by written agreement, so you take the services you need and add to them as the business grows.
07
Who owns my accounting records?
You do. Your accounting records, books, and supporting documents remain your property throughout the engagement.
