Computerized Accounting Systems

 

Still manually maintaining all or much of your business' records?  Do you want to decrease the time spent, increase efficiency, and portray a more modern image when it comes to your bookkeeping and accounting?  Then, why not implement a computerized accounting system?  Even the smallest of businesses with limited resources can benefit from a computerized accounting system.

 

A computerized accounting system will allow you to:

·         Maintain all of your business transactions by type and category of receipt and expenditure.

·         Print and record professional looking invoices, checks, and other accounting documents simultaneously.

·         Run reports to track outstanding customer balances, view transactions by type, and much, much more.

·         Make your accountant much happier than using the "shoe box" method.

 

The key to a good accounting system is having it set up by a professional who is proficient with the software and who is an experienced accountant.  This combination is important if you want the system to produce useful information.  After your system is set up and you are entering your day to day transactions, it is important that what you have input is periodically reviewed to ensure that you are correctly entering transactions and getting the most from your accounting system.  Additionally, a periodic review of your accounting data will give your accountant a better idea of where you are at for the year, which will allow him/her to provide you with tax advice.  Your accounting system consultant will provide you with ongoing support and training to ensure that you get the most from your system. 

 

A problem that we run into frequently with small business clients is that they selected, installed, and set up their own accounting software without seeking the advice of an accounting professional.  As a result, the software is not properly configured and set up and accounting transactions are not properly entered.  The client winds up spending more to get the system "straightened out" than he or she would have spent to have someone assist them in getting it set up  and training him or her how to use it properly.

 

The primary small business accounting packages that we recommend and work with our clients on are QuickBooks Pro and Peachtree Complete Accounting.  Both are comparable in terms of price (you can typically find them for $250 - $300 retail, less with rebates and coupons...) and basic features.  However, there are advantages of one over the other.  We can discuss your needs with you and help you to select the package best suited to your specific needs.  Get off to a good start by working with a professional!

Bookkeeping

 

Do you find it difficult to find the time and energy to keep your business' bookkeeping records up to date?  Do you find bookkeeping tedious and time consuming?  If you answered yes to either of those questions, then you should consider having your bookkeeping done by a professional on a monthly or quarterly basis.

 

Utilizing a computerized accounting system and our expertise in accounting and bookkeeping, we can take care of a client's bookkeeping needs in a fraction of the time that he or she could.  What may take you eight hours or more to do we can do in just a few.  And, when you do it yourself, you may wonder if you did it right.  Having a professional handle your bookkeeping will give you the piece of mind that it has been done right.

 

Routine bookkeeping work by a professional ensures that the financial records of your business are current and accurate.  It is difficult to truly gauge the success of your business without knowing the current financial results of your operations.  Bookkeeping is the backbone of the accounting process.  At minimum, bookkeeping will provide you with the information needed to complete your business tax returns. 

 

The next step in the accounting process after bookkeeping is any accounting tasks in addition to bookkeeping and then the generation of financial statements and reports which should be utilized on a regular basis to review the results of business efforts and plan for the future.

Accounting

 

In addition to day to day bookkeeping, account reconciliations (e.g., bank accounts), accounting adjustments (e.g., amortization and depreciation), and other accounting tasks should be completed prior to generating financial statements.  A month-end or quarter-end process with your accountant will ensure that such tasks are completed and that your books are in order.  Additionally, the accountant should be able to provide you with some feedback to include areas for improvement.  As part of such month-end or quarter-end process, you may want to have your accountant prepare financial statements and other accounting reports.

Financial Statements & Reports

 

Constantly working long hours and do not know why you have little to show for it?  Wondering what you can do to improve your profitability?  If you answered yes to either of these questions, then you need to have financial statements and reports prepared on a regularly scheduled basis and you need to learn how to use them as a tool in running your business!

 

Financial statements and reports, if prepared properly and timely, will allow you to evaluate the results of your business operations, forecast future results, and determine where improvements can be made.  Whether you handle your own bookkeeping or we do it for you, we can take the bookkeeping information and generate a variety of financial statements and reports.

 

Additionally, if bookkeeping is kept current and financial statements and reports are routinely generated, preparation of business tax returns is generally much more efficient.

Payroll Services

 

Many small business owners struggle with doing their own payroll and preparing their own payroll tax returns.  Improper calculations of tax withholdings and employer borne payroll taxes and late filing of payroll returns and reports can be costly.  Penalties related to payroll taxes are much higher than those for income taxes.  Additionally, improper classification of workers as "spot labor" or "independent contractors" is a huge potential liability for a small business owner which could be financially devastating.

 

We can handle all of your payroll related needs.  No more tedious calculations.  No more trying to figure out what is due and when.  We can also advise you in regards to the proper classification and treatment of workers.  Unlike some of the large payroll processing services, you are not a number to us.  Your specific needs are addressed and your payroll is professionally handled.  And, if we are also handling your bookkeeping, accounting and/or taxes, there is an increase in overall efficiency. 

 

Even if you prefer to handle your own payroll throughout the year, you may want assistance with the year-end payroll filings to include W-2s.  We can also generate Forms 1099-MISC for each of your independent contractors and other payees subject to receive these forms.

Income Tax Services for Individuals

 

Preparing your own tax returns can be time consuming, tedious, and stressful.  If you decide to go to one of those tax preparation places, they are not necessarily as inexpensive as you might think and in some cases the qualifications of the preparer that prepares your returns may be questionable.

 

Our experienced professional staff will prepare your returns to maximize your refund or minimize the tax due, whichever is applicable.  We will advise you on issues relevant to your current returns and inform you of areas where you can recognize future tax benefits.  We are available full time year round, so when you have problems or questions, we are just a phone call or an e-mail away!

 

We offer and strongly encourage electronic filing of your Federal and state tax returns.  Electronic filing helps to ensure that your returns are processed quickly and accurately.  Taxpayers receiving refunds will generally have their refund in 9 - 16 days if they elect to have their refund direct deposited to a checking or savings account!  If you are a late filer and you file a first or even a second extension, you can still electronically file your returns through the second extension deadline.

 

Also like the tax preparation places, we prefer to prepare your returns while you are here.  Return preparation can take as little as one hour from start to finish.  Why drag out the return preparation process?  Have it done while you wait and be done with the process until next year.  Almost painless!

 

We know that price is an important factor in deciding who will prepare your tax returns.  Year after year, we have found that our fees are generally lower than what our new clients have paid in prior years to tax preparation services and other accountants.  A number of clients that we get each season had their returns prepared somewhere else and come to us to have their return re-prepared as they were not comfortable with the initial results.

Income Tax Services for Businesses

 

When it comes to business services, our specialty is the small business, whether it be a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), S-corporation, or C-corporation.  A large number of our small business clients have only one or two owners and of these, many are home based and/or family businesses.  Whether you are specialty trade contractor or a one person home-based day care, we can be of assistance.

 

In addition to the Federal and State returns, we will prepare your local and county tax returns.  The local and county returns are often missed by small business owners who do their own taxes.  Make sure that all of your tax bases are covered - consider having a professional handle your business taxes!

 

If not having your numbers together is holding you up from having your business taxes prepared, we can assist you there as well.  We offer bookkeeping, accounting, and payroll services.  Thus, if your records are merely receipts in a shoe box or crate, we can help.

Tax Planning For Individuals & Businesses

 

While preparing your individual and/or business tax returns, we will advise you on relevant accounting and tax issues.  We will also offer you tips and advice that will help you to recognize tax savings both now and in the future.  We are available full time all year round and encourage you to give us a call or send us an e-mail anytime that you have a tax question or think that you have a tax question. 

 

A variety of things can affect your overall tax situation.  Becoming self-employed, selling a home, buying a home, caring for elderly family members, early distributions from retirement plans, and loss of income just to name a few.  If you know the tax consequences of certain options, your decisions may be different than they would be otherwise.  Some decisions have long-term consequences.  Why not ask someone who knows.  Many questions can be asked and answered via a quick phone call or e-mail!

 

We take great pride in providing tax planning and tax forecasting services for our individual and small business clients.  Effectively minimizing tax begins with long-term tax strategizing to establish overall objectives and is maintained with conscientious and consistent tax forecasting and planning.
