ABOUT GILBERT FINANCIAL PARTNERS
Built by an operator. Trusted by owners.
Gilbert Financial Partners offers bookkeeping, accounting, and fractional CFO services to small and mid-sized businesses in Jacksonville and Tallahassee, FL, as well as virtually throughout Florida. Unlike software subscriptions, we act as an engaged financial partner, ensuring your books are closed by the 10th of each month, delivering actionable reports, and maintaining open communication. Our founder, James Gilbert, PhD, MBA, brings over 20 years of operational experience to each client interaction, having held key positions such as General Manager at Republic Services, Director of Operations at CSX Transportation, and Market VP at Gold Medal Environmental. This extensive background equips us with a deep understanding of cash flow challenges, payroll schedules, vendor management, and the financial choices crucial for a company's growth. We provide three service tiers—Bookkeeping ($1,250/month), Accounting & Reporting ($2,950/month), and Fractional CFO ($5,950/month)—all based on transaction volume and with no long-term commitments, allowing month-to-month arrangements only. Our clientele consists of service-oriented business owners seeking accurate numbers, straightforward reporting, and attentive support, rather than just another tool to juggle.
