People we serve

Trusted by the people who build.

From construction and real estate to growing local businesses.

More than a once-a-year CPA

When the numbers cause more stress than clarity, decisions get harder.

Books you don't fully trust

The close runs late, categories drift, and you're never quite sure the numbers reflect reality — so you hesitate when it matters.

Tax planning that arrives late

By the time last year's return is filed, the moves that would have lowered the bill are already behind you.

Big calls made in the dark

A hire, new equipment, the next project, a distribution — decisions made without a clear read on what the financials can support.

That's the storm. Cloudbreak clears it — so you can see what to do next, with a partner who creates clarity and visibility.

What we do

Three ways we clear the air.

We meet you where the pain is — then grow into a true strategic partnership, interpreting the numbers rather than just recording them.

Bookkeeping & monthly close
A reliable close on a schedule you can count on.

Financial reporting & KPIs
Statements and metrics that mean something.

Controller & CFO-level support
Strategic guidance without a full-time hire.

Process & workflow evaluation
Find the friction; fix how the work flows.

ERP & tech-stack setup
The right tools, configured to fit your business.

Year-round tax planning
Decisions modeled before the year closes.

Entity & compensation strategy
Structure that fits how you actually operate.

Charitable & giving strategy
Generosity that's planned, not last-minute.

Investment & real-estate strategy
Tax-aware moves on property and capital.

Multi-entity coordination
One plan across every LLC and return.

Individual returns
From a straightforward W-2 to the complex.

Business & entity returns
Partnerships, S-corps, and beyond.

Quarterly estimates
No April surprises, federal and state.

Filings & elections
S-corp elections and the paperwork around them.

IRS & state correspondence
We handle the letters so you don't have to.

Our approach

Built on relationships. Driven by strategy.

Relationships

We're a small, founder-led firm by design — close enough to know your business, steady enough to grow with you for years. The goal isn't another vendor in the stack. It's someone you can lean on.

Strategy

Most firms hand you the numbers. We help you read them — where to cut, where to invest, what the next decision should be. Compliance is the floor we stand on, not the ceiling we stop at.

Platforms we work inside

Fully Integrated Tech Stack

We work inside the systems you already use.

Who's behind Cloudbreak

"I started Cloudbreak to do accounting differently — to take the weight off people's shoulders and actually help them grow."

I'm a dad of two who left the corporate grind because I wanted to serve people the way I'd want to be served: close, honest, and genuinely invested in where they're headed.

The name comes from home. In Oklahoma you learn that every storm passes — the clouds break and the light comes through. That's the job: clear the financial stress so you can focus on what you do best.
