Pickle Financials provides dedicated fractional CFO services, accounting, and bookkeeping for pickleball gear manufacturers and e-commerce brands. We manage your entire financial back office — from paddle inventory planning and COGS analysis to automated bookkeeping and strategic forecasting.
Scaling a physical product brand in the fastest-growing sport brings financial complexities standard bookkeepers aren't built to handle — overseas factory deposits, manufacturing lead times, and seasonal inventory forecasting demand specialized financial strategy, not basic record-keeping. At Pickle Financials, we bridge that gap between high-level financial operations and pickleball manufacturing, working directly with your supply chain metrics to keep your inventory fully funded, your gross margins protected, and your cash flow optimized to capture market share.

Pickle Financials found margin leaks in our COGS we didn't even know existed. Within two months we had our first real cash flow forecast.
My old CPA was never available — this team always is. They break things down so I understand them, and I completely trust them with the business now.
Now I never stress about bills, taxes, or receipts. The team set everything up and checks in with helpful suggestions.
We had no idea our landed COGS were eating into margin until they broke it down by SKU. That one number alone paid for the engagement three times over.

We work exclusively with pickleball paddle, apparel, and gear brands — from early-stage DTC labels to established manufacturers scaling into retail. If you're not in the pickleball space, we're probably not the right fit.
A traditional CPA files your taxes and hands back the books. We operate as your finance department — managing landed COGS, supply chain cash flow, and strategy specific to pickleball manufacturing. You get the range of an in-house CFO without the cost of one.
Usually not. We work within your existing stack — most often QuickBooks — plus the platforms gear brands actually run on: Shopify, Amazon, and your 3PL. Onboarding is designed to be fast and low-lift on your end.
Cleanup is how most engagements start. We quote a one-time catch-up project, get you current, then move you into a flat monthly package.
Yes — we offer proactive tax strategy and planning year-round, and deliver tax-ready financials your preparer can work from directly. Full tax filing is also available as a separate service if you'd rather have one team handle everything, start to finish.
A kickoff call, access to your accounts, a cleanup plan if you need one, and your first monthly close. You'll see real financials within 30 days.
