Accountants who build systems.
The firm for businesses whose books outgrew their bookkeeper.
Tallmont & Co exists for businesses that have outgrown generic bookkeeping. Multi-entity groups whose books don't agree with each other. Developers whose project costs hide in expense accounts. Companies moving to NetSuite who need the accounting designed before the software is configured. Founders who need CFO-grade answers without CFO-grade payroll.
Why "built like an engineering firm"
Most accounting is performed as a service: hours in, entries out. We work like engineers instead — we design the structure first (the chart of accounts, the entity architecture, the close process), implement it in the systems, and then run it with the discipline of an operations team. The result is a finance function that behaves like infrastructure: predictable, documented, and boring in the best possible way.
What that looks like in practice
- Structure first. Every engagement starts with architecture, not data entry — because transactions coded into the wrong structure are just well-organized noise.
- Evidence over estimates. Balances trace to source documents. Reconciliations tie. Differences get named, not plugged.
- Deliverables, not hours. A close date, a reporting pack, a working system — outcomes on a calendar.
- Handoff-ready always. Your books live in your systems, documented. If we disappeared tomorrow, your next accountant would send us a thank-you note.
Where we work
Our clients are in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Pakistan — with guaranteed working-hours overlap wherever you are.
The proof
We'd rather show than claim: read the case studies — a 20+ entity NetSuite consolidation, a construction CIP chart of accounts, an intercompany cleanup, and a rolling company budget reconciled to the ledger every month.
Who you'll actually work with
Umair Shahid
Co-Founder & CEO
Tallmont's practice is built on the work Umair has led for the past six years: running full accounting functions for businesses across the US, Canada, and Europe — up to ten clients at a time, with a ten-person accounting team behind them.
The case studies on this site are his track record. He led a full NetSuite implementation for a group of 10+ subsidiaries — QuickBooks data migration, chart-of-accounts redesign, and the intercompany reconciliations that made one-click consolidation real. He ran the accounting function of a US residential construction company with three to four concurrent projects (the largest 350+ units), building the CIP schedule that tracked every capitalized dollar. And he maintained quarterly multi-currency consolidations for a 15+ subsidiary energy group spanning Europe and North America.
