Time is re-inventing how small businesses handle their accounting. In the old days the accountant came to your office and made adjustments to your ledgers.
Now you can do it your self or hire some one to input the data We recommend QuickBooks. The program is inexpensive, typical street price of $100 to upgrade and $200 for a new. We do not sell the program and the best prices are at "big box stores" or online. The program does the accounting work for you.
We can also help you over the telephone with your records on your computer. As we are very experienced with the program and as , we know the answers. We can help you understand your Chart of Accounts, how to print needed reports and other things you need.
What we have you do is write the checks and enter the deposits. You handle your own receivables and use QuickBooks to send out the invoices and print statements to help you collect from your customers. QuickBooks is an accounts payable system. This means you input the bills when they are received assign a due date and then write a check only when the bill is due. QuickBooks keeps tract of when and how much is due, allowing better control of your cash flow.
The Internet and inexpensive accounting programs have given us the ability to work one on one with clients without driving to the client’s site. We believe toll-free phones and the Internet will revolutionize tax preparation and accounting because distances no longer affect how close we are.
By sending us the data we also provide a remote back service so if you have a computer disaster we can send you the data from our backups. We keep three copies of you data on three separate drives on two separate machines to protect your records.
And we can do it over the Internet at a reasonable fee ranging from $100 per month and up depending on the amount of work you need done. We include all payroll costs in our accounting fees. After we make the year-end closing entries the tax return for you business is nearly done. Having good data throughout the year allows better tax planning to reduce taxes. And we would love to do your income tax returns.
