Accounting Services

We differentiate ourselves through customized and virtual accounting service solutions for you. We don’t just occasionally use QuickBooks®… we specialize in QuickBooks®! Some people do lots of accounting software packages and services, but we don’t believe you can be an expert in all areas. That’s why we spend thousands of hours each year working with a variety of businesses with a wide array of needs and help them find ways for QuickBooks® to help their bottom line and quality of life. When you hear people say they are disappointed with their accountant or software…it’s often because they don’t have someone who takes the time to help them find a customized solution to their need. We resolve that issue for you. We know the value QuickBooks® can add to your bottom line so we’ll teach you how to make it work for you and customize it for your business. Don’t worry…we are here for ongoing support also when you have those “little glitches” that you need help resolving.

We offer a full range of accounting services and book keeping services to clients through our leading edge technology through QuickBooks® and Cloud offerings. We offer everything from accounting and consulting services, data analysis, job costing, and budgeting to financial review services. We understand how confusing and time consuming financial activities can be. While we encourage you to actively manage your business by your numbers, we understand that at the end of the day there simply may not be enough hours. Don’t worry…we can help you out by providing customized services so that you can still have access to the numbers when you want but don’t have to give up quality personal time on your weekends to get it done! Whether you want to have someone to help you set up and maintain your own system or completely outsource it, we have a solution for you!

We provide a wide variety of Services for clients of all industries and sizes. We know one solution doesn’t fit everyone’s needs. We customize our services to meet your specific needs. Our Accounting Services include:

Year-End Tax Preparation for individuals or small businesses who don’t require ongoing support. Clients provide bank statements, receipts and other materials for entry into Quickbooks®. Clients are then asked questions to further identify business and tax deductions and a Quickbooks® file summarizing all data is created for use by their accountant.

For our clients who desire to maintain their own accounting system, we believe that you should be educated in how the accounting information produces monthly financial statements. More importantly, how to utilize those financial statements to assist you in decision making!

The benefit to you is that you’ll get someone with great accounting knowledge as well as first-hand experience as an entrepreneur.

We know that part of the good and bad as an entrepreneur is not having to be accountable to a “boss.” However, there is a valuable benefit in having someone to work with who is objective and can hold your “feet to the fire” when needed.
