Monthly Bookkeeping

Our bookkeeping services are designed to ensure the accuracy and organization of your financial records. We offer regular updates to your books, whether that be monthly, weekly, or even daily, depending on your specific needs. At the end of the year, we collaborate with the certified public accountant (CPA) of your choosing to assist with tax filing.

Some of the services we provide include bank reconciliations, which involves comparing your bank statements with your financial records to identify any discrepancies. We also offer accounts payable management, which involves keeping track of your outstanding bills and ensuring they are paid on time. On the other hand, accounts receivable management involves invoicing your customers and monitoring and collecting the payments.

Managing payroll is another key aspect of our services, whether it be for your employees or contractors. We handle payroll processing, ensuring that everyone is paid accurately and on time.

When it comes to sales tax, we assist with filing the necessary documentation with state government agencies, ensuring compliance with tax regulations.

Finally, we provide financial reporting, which involves generating detailed reports that give you an overview of your business's financial health. These reports can help you make informed decisions and track your progress towards your financial goals.

Overall, our aim is to provide comprehensive bookkeeping services that encompass all aspects of managing your financial records and ensure the smooth operation of your business.

Submit your application

In addition to setting up your books with the correct chart of accounts, we offer a range of one-time services to ensure your financial records are updated and accurate.

Tax Preparation

Using tax software is a common practice for CPAs and other accounting professionals when preparing tax returns for their clients. The choice of tax software may vary based on individual preferences and the specific needs of the clients. Here are some key aspects of tax preparation using tax software:

1. Data Entry: Tax software allows professionals to input client data efficiently and accurately. This often includes personal information, income details, deductions, and other relevant data required for tax return preparation.

2. Calculation Accuracy: Tax software performs complex tax calculations automatically, reducing the chances of human error and ensuring accurate results. It considers current tax laws, regulations, and updates to calculate tax liabilities or refunds.

3. Forms and Schedules: Tax software generates the necessary forms and schedules, such as Form 1040, Schedule C, Schedule E, and more, based on the client's specific tax situation. This streamlines the process and ensures compliance with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requirements.

4. Electronic Filing: Most tax software platforms allow for electronic filing (e-filing) of tax returns. This feature simplifies the submission process, reduces paper usage, and speeds up the processing time for both clients and tax authorities.

5. Tax Planning Tools: Many tax software programs offer additional features like tax planning tools, which assist professionals in identifying potential deductions, tax credits, and strategies for minimizing tax liabilities. These tools can help in providing value-added services to clients.

6. Record Keeping: Tax software often includes features for organizing and maintaining client files, allowing for efficient record-keeping and easy access to previous years' tax returns. This helps in retrieving information quickly during client consultations or when addressing tax inquiries.

7. Security: Tax software generally employs robust security measures to protect sensitive client data from unauthorized access or breaches. Encryption, secure servers, and regular software updates are standard practices to ensure data privacy and client confidentiality.

It's essential for CPAs and accounting professionals to stay updated with the latest tax laws and regulations, as well as any updates to their chosen tax software. This enables them to provide accurate and reliable tax preparation services to their clients while maximizing efficiency and productivity.

How do we access your bookkeeping systems?

1. Cloud-Based Software: Our bookkeeper can update your books using cloud-based bookkeeping software. This allows for real-time access to your financial data and ensures that all information is securely stored in the cloud.

2. Virtual Private Network (VPN): If you prefer to keep your data on your own servers, our bookkeeper can access your books securely through a virtual private network. This option provides an extra layer of security for your sensitive financial information.

3. Email/File Transfer: For clients who prefer a more traditional method, our bookkeeper can update your books by receiving relevant financial documents via email or file transfer. They will then input the information and send back the updated files.

Regardless of the method chosen, our bookkeeper will ensure accuracy and confidentiality while completing your day-to-day bookkeeping tasks. By outsourcing your bookkeeping to us, you can focus on running your business while knowing that your financial records are well-maintained.

Local Desktop Bookkeeping

With local desktop bookkeeping, businesses can benefit from the following

1
Control and Security
By running accounting software on a local computer, businesses have full control over their data and can ensure the security and privacy of sensitive financial information.
2
Offline Access
Since all data and software are stored locally, businesses can access and work on their bookkeeping tasks even without an internet connection.
3
Customization
Local desktop bookkeeping software often allows for more customization options to suit specific business needs. Users can create customized reports, templates, and workflows as required.
4
Cost Savings
In some cases, local desktop bookkeeping software may have a one-time purchase price, with no recurring subscription fees. This can be cost-effective, especially for small businesses that have limited bookkeeping requirements.

However, it is important to note that there are some limitations to local desktop bookkeeping:

1. Limited Collaboration: With data stored locally, it may be challenging to collaborate with other team members, accountants, or bookkeepers remotely. Sharing files and keeping everyone updated can be more complex than with cloud-based solutions.

2. Backup and Recovery: Local bookkeeping requires businesses to establish their own backup and recovery procedures to ensure data integrity in case of system failures or data loss. This responsibility lies with the business rather than the software provider or hosting company.

3. Software Updates: Unlike cloud-based solutions that automatically update, local desktop bookkeeping software often requires manual updates. This means that businesses need to regularly monitor and install updates to ensure they have the latest features, bug fixes, and security patches.

In summary, local desktop bookkeeping provides businesses with control, security, and customization options but may lack the collaboration and convenience features of cloud-based bookkeeping solutions. Businesses should carefully evaluate their specific needs and consider the benefits and limitations of local desktop bookkeeping before choosing a solution.
