On Tysons Boulevard
CPA-led financial advisory, based in McLean.
R² Advisors helps owners and finance leaders bring accounting, reporting, cash, tax and operating decisions into one financial picture, so leadership can see what the figures mean and decide what to do next.
Serving organizations throughout the Washington region and across the United States.
The numbers still close. The picture stops holding together.
Many of the organizations we meet in Northern Virginia depend on a small number of contracts, clients or funding relationships. Growth rarely waits for the finance function to catch up. The organization grows, but the close, reporting and important decisions may still depend on the same few people.
A contract ends, or a larger one arrives.
Revenue, staffing and cash shift at the same time. The month still closes, but no one can say with confidence what the next two quarters look like.
The person who knew how it all fit together has left.
The records are still there. The reasoning behind them left with the controller or the long-time bookkeeper.
One financial picture that leadership can rely on.
Financial control is the system of records, responsibilities, reviews, evidence and decisions that makes financial information dependable. Managed Financial Control is R²’s recurring financial-control relationship for keeping that system dependable month after month.
What R² means by Financial ControlContracts and cash. What each contract earns, what it costs to deliver and when the money arrives.
Entities and reporting. Each company’s books, and the combined view leadership actually decides from.
Tax and decisions. The tax effect of a choice, understood before the choice is made.
Organizations begin in different places.
Some need the records repaired first. Some need a dependable monthly rhythm. Some need tax or strategic finance alongside it. We start where the work needs attention.

Maintain Control

Extend Control
What do we need when the stakes rise?
Tax strategy, CFO-level advice and governance, added when a transaction, a financing or a board needs more than the monthly picture.
Explore Extend Control
Where the complexity usually begins here
-
Contracts, Grants & External Accountability
For firms whose revenue arrives through contracts with defined terms and outside scrutiny. The questions are about contract profitability, indirect costs, billing and what an auditor or contracting officer will ask to see.
Financial control for government contractors -
Capital, Projects & Complex Entities
For owners and leadership teams carrying several entities, investments or long-term commitments. The questions are about consolidation, intercompany activity and which entity bears which obligation.

Our work is rooted here.
R² Advisors was founded in 2018 and is based on Tysons Boulevard in McLean. We work with organizations across Northern Virginia and Washington, DC, and members of our team are part of the communities where we live and work.
Yassob Ghahramani, our Chief Acceleration Officer, coaches youth sports. Rose Araghchy gives time to local professional, community and cultural organizations.
That involvement is personal, but it also shapes how we see the work. A strong organization supports employees, families and the community around it. The financial work behind it deserves the same care.
What happens after you get in touch
A senior member of our team reviews your message and helps determine where the work should begin. We ask what changed, what has become harder to understand and what decision is waiting on the numbers.
You do not need clean records to begin. Most organizations come to us because the records have fallen behind the business. The first conversations show whether the work starts with Establish, Maintain or Extend.
If you have a controller, a bookkeeper or a finance team, we work with them. R² can carry defined responsibilities directly or support the people already in place.
Questions leaders ask before the first conversation
Can R² work alongside our existing controller or bookkeeper?
Yes. Many relationships begin that way. We agree who owns each responsibility, so nothing is done twice and nothing falls between people.
Do we need to know which service we need before we call?
No. Tell us what changed. Deciding where to begin is part of the first conversation.
We have more than one company. Where would we begin?
Usually with a combined view of where each entity stands, before changing anything. That shows whether the issue is the records, the reporting or the structure itself.
Does R² work only with organizations in McLean?
No. R² is based in McLean and works with organizations across Northern Virginia, Washington, DC and Maryland, and across the United States.
Tell us what changed.
You do not need to have the right words for it. Tell us what has become harder to understand, and we will tell you where we would begin.
