Sylvia's Story
Experience in the numbers. A personal connection to care.
The foundation
Sylvia Khalil has more than 20 years of accounting experience. Over that time she has worked across a range of industries and financial environments — learning how different businesses run, and how much good financial information can change the decisions owners make.
A turning point
Then she began working inside a senior-care business. The work was still accounting, but something about it felt different. It felt like home.
Where it began
Sylvia's mother had been a caregiver. Growing up, Sylvia saw first-hand the relationships, the responsibilities, and the emotional dedication that come with caring for others. In a senior-care business, she recognized all of it.
Why Lighthouse
She founded Lighthouse to bring those two worlds together: real accounting expertise, offered with a genuine understanding of what care-focused owners are carrying. A lighthouse doesn't steer the ship — it helps you see clearly enough to steer it yourself.
The commitment today
Today, Sylvia and Lighthouse help senior-care owners understand their finances — not just receive reports, but know what the numbers mean and what their options are.
Our Philosophy
Behind Every Number Is a Person.
Caregivers depend on payroll.
Accurate, on-time pay is part of how a care business respects the people doing the work.
Owners depend on cash flow.
Knowing what's coming in and going out makes every staffing and growth decision steadier.
Families depend on stable care businesses.
Financially healthy companies are better positioned to keep showing up for the clients they serve.

How We Work
As involved as you need us to be.
Regular financial conversations
Some clients want a close working relationship — frequent check-ins, review meetings, and a thinking partner for decisions.
A more streamlined arrangement
Others prefer we handle the details quietly in the background, with clear reporting when they need it.
National Reach
Personalized Support. Wherever Your Business Calls Home.
Lighthouse is a 100% virtual company. We work with senior-care businesses across the United States through phone, video, and secure online tools — so the support you get depends on the relationship, not your zip code.
