We offer the following: - Accounting and Bookkeeping - Tax Planning and Return Preparation Services - Payroll Services - Business Start-up and Valuation Services Accounting and Bookkeeping The foundation of the accounting and finances is based upon good bookkeeping practices.  Whether you need coaching with your own bookkeeping procedures, or you need us to handle your bookkeeping completely, we can accomodate your needs.  We have qualified, trained Quickbooks ProAdvisors on staff that will be more than qualified to handle your needs. It is common for a small one-person business to start out with the owner handling his/her own bookkeeping.  Often, it is as easy as dropping off your bank statements to allow us to log the activity of your business for reports and tax preparation.  Let us guide you to reduce time and errors with a system that is right for you. As a business grows, the owner finds himself/herself too busy to handle all the bookkeeping and needs to outsource those tasks.  This can pose a problem.  If you try to hire someone it is hard to find qualified, trustworthy individuals to handle these tasks if you only have 5 or 10 hours a week of bookkeeping to offer.  The individual would have to be flexible with the hours worked to match your varying needs from one week to the next.  Let us handle these bookkeeping tasks for you and relieve the burdon of hiring a non-revenue generating employee. Some businesses have grown to a point where it makes sense to hire a bookkeeper on staff.  There are enough hours to offer an individual a position and will get qualified individuals interested.  In many cases, the business owner is now so busy that he/she relies on the bookkeeper to make the back-office run so that the owner can focus on keeping the revenue growing.  This can be a dangerous model, since the bookkeeper is working without supervision which could be an exposure to fraud.  This is common in clinical settings such as doctors' and dentists' offices.  Let us help by performing bank reconciliations behind your bookkeeper to maintain a control and balance over the work the bookkeeper performs. At every level in the growth of a small business let us help maintain the most fundamental, yet necessary of accounting tasks. Tax Planning and Return Preparation Services Expertise. Peace of mind.
