Weekly, Monthly or Quarterly, Remote or Onsite
The process begins with a free consultation. At this time, we determine if we are a good match for each other. We will then assess your current bookkeeping situation and present options to meet your needs. These include:
- Catching up the books
- Tuning up books
- Starting up the books (for a new company)
- Cleaning up the books
- Keeping up with the books
- Automating the books
The next step would be to discuss frequency. Sometimes we help clients with a one-time clean up and help them train a new employee. Often times our clients find it is cost effective to outsource monthly bookkeeping but may have someone on hand who writes checks and deposits payments. In this case, the monthly work would consist of verifying the accuracy, or sometimes doing the input if that hasn’t been done, reconciling the bank and credit card statements and recording third party payroll and make other necessary adjustments.
Below is a list of services we provide:
Catch Up Services
- Often times as a business owner, we can get behind in the record keeping. This can become costly in terms of penalties and fees on unpaid taxes.
- Without accurate record keeping it is hard to see “where we are” in the business. Is it profitable, where can you increase profit and/or cut expenses?
- We have experience with helping clients catch up who have been years behind. There is always a sense of relief when they are able to file the old tax returns and begin using current financial reports to manage their business in the here and now.
