Why Wilmington SMBs choose Orbit?
Before Orbit
- Behind on month-end; decisions feel blind.
- Sales-tax/payroll errors create penalties and rework.
- Hourly invoices and scope creep.
- Generic bookkeeping; no industry context.
- Tax time scramble; your CPA chases details.
- Email chaos and document chasing.
Orbit vs Others
| Need | Orbit | Others |
|---|---|---|
Timely month-end | Close within ~30 days, with KPIs and commentary | Variable; often slips to 45–60+ days |
Accuracy & audit-readiness | Full reconciliations, roll-forwards, sales-tax workpapers, PBC pack | Basic GL entries; limited documentation |
Pricing model | Fixed monthly fees; no surprise hours | Hourly; scope creep and bill-shock |
Industry context | Sector-specific charts of accounts & KPIs | Generic bookkeeping, little domain nuance |
Advisory (light CFO) | Cash-flow forecasts, budget vs. actuals, KPI dashboards | Minimal analytics; bookkeeping only |
