As the owner or manager of a small business, you should be spending as much time as possible growing and managing your company, not dealing with administrative tasks such as bookkeeping.

We offer these services at very reasonable cost and the quality of our service is high. Moreover, we can offer a level of service that goes beyond ordinary "bookkeeping" because of our significant experience with accounting, banking, business, and finance.

Most bookkeepers simply help you with accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll, but we can offer much, much more. We can review your financial performance on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis, providing a level of feedback typically given by a controller or chief financial officer.

Our bookkeepers are "Full Charge" which means your books are in good hands. A full charge bookkeeper is responsible for all bookkeeping and accounting functions through the financial statements. This includes accounts receivable, invoicing, accounts payable, bank reconciliation, payroll processing and reporting, sales tax reporting and the incorporation of these sub ledgers into the general ledger, or books of the company. From these books the Financial Statements are produced which include but are not limited to the Balance Sheet and the Profit and Loss Statement.

Bookkeeping services offered:

• Customized financial statement by business location, branch, department, or contract
• Reconciling all bank accounts and lines of credit
• Provide detailed business reports such as financial statements used for management analysis
• Budgeting
• Sales tax reporting
• Trust accounting
• Worker's Comp Reporting and Audits
• Non-profit reporting and assistance with applying for non-profit status
• Managing Accounts Receivables including invoicing
