About
About Porthouse & Associates
Porthouse & Associates grew out of years of working closely with the finances of small and mid-sized businesses.
That work revealed a recurring pattern: business owners often have access to information, but do not always have a regular process for reviewing what that information is showing them.
The company's current direction builds on that observation, and the earlier work continues to inform what it does now. The emphasis has shifted to publishing, education, digital products, and structured learning experiences that help business owners pay closer attention to the patterns developing inside their businesses. The purpose is to apply what has been learned in a form that can serve more business owners through shared resources.
Porthouse & Associates is owned by Dawn Porthouse, who writes Monthly Numbers Review and Deliberate Drift.

Publications
Publications
Monthly Numbers Review
An educational publication for service-based small-business owners who want to understand their own numbers without becoming financial experts.
It focuses on five connected areas:
The goal is not to add more reports or create more complexity. It is to establish a repeatable way to look at the business, notice patterns, and develop a clearer understanding of what the numbers are showing.
Monthly Numbers Review is educational content. It is not tax, accounting, legal, or financial advice for any individual business.
Deliberate Drift
A publication and podcast analyzing how companies drift, through accumulated decisions, toward constraint, failure, recovery, or advantage.
Tax clients
Existing tax clients
