We are committed to staying within your allotted budget you are never surprised by a huge, unexpected bill. Our fee depends on the level of activity or the complexity of services needed. We prefer to meet with you, go over the services you require and the amount of activity you have, and then give you a written proposal with a custom-designed accounting solution and fee specifically for you. Our ability to offer bundled service packages tailored to your overall needs helps to decrease per service fees.
Not really. To hire an in-house bookkeeper, first you must find the right person, check their credentials, negotiate a salary, hire, train and manage them. That can be very expensive both in time and money for a business owner. You must also provide office space, a desk, a computer, and software for them to use. You incur payroll tax expenses, vacation and sick time, and the cost of other benefits for that employee. If the person you hire is part-time, you must manage their hours and will only have access to them when they are at work. If they go on vacation, get sick, or leave your employ, you may have a large gap in your accounting and payroll. In some cases, there can be security concerns when only one person has access to all your business financial information, data, bank accounts, statements, and checks.
Our clients find that our affordable and efficient accounting services, combined with the continuity, security, and reliability of working with an outsourced accounting solution, are a far better value than hiring an in-house person.
Sure, we work with you to handle all of your accounting including entering bookkeeping activity, tracking accounts receivable & accounts payable, bank reconciliations, and quarterly financial statement preparation. We will enter your activity on either a weekly or monthly basis and meet with you quarterly to discuss ideas to minimize costs, increase profits, and decrease taxes. We will inform you during the meeting of any new tax updates that will be useful for you and your business. You will also receive a free business assessment which is a detailed report that analyzes your company specifically and compares it to the industry average. The report will highlight your areas of strength and areas of improvements.
Our process begins with setting an appointment to meet with you and go over your accounting needs, and provide you with a written proposal. Then we will schedule a new client orientation. During this time we will go over the procedure of handling your accounting activity, gather your information, and sign your accounting service agreement. Typically, we are able to start services within 7 days from the time the proposal is provided. For more information, see our Bookkeeping and Accounting section.
Sure, we offer tax preparation for corporate and personal taxes. Corporate returns include partnerships, LLCs, S-Corporation, and C-Corporations. We also prepare your business personal property tax returns. If you are self-employed, we can prepare your quarterly tax estimates for Federal and State.
We have the experience to work with all types of tax engagements - whether someone hasn’t filed in many years, owes back taxes and wants to try and reduce their liability, or required to file multiple state tax returns.
We also offer tax planning meetings during the middle of the year and last quarter of year to go over current income activity and project what your tax liability will be. For more information, see our Personal and Business Tax section.
