As a small business owner your time is limited. Why not outsource your
accounting needs so you can stay focused on the important things in your
business? We can take care of all the weekly, monthly, and yearly work for
you!!
Each month or quarter we'll do the following things for you...
- Reconcile your bank
account
- Generate an income
statement

sheet

consultations
These tasks form the solid foundation of your small business accounting
system. You can customize the package of services you receive by adding
payroll, tax planning, tax preparation, or any of our other services.
Bank Reconciliation
Reconciling your business checking account each month allow us to keep your
bank account, accounting, and taxes up-to-date.
Having us reconcile your account each month allows you to...
- Identify lost checks, lost
deposits and unauthorized wire transactions.
- Detect and prevent
excess/unjustified bank charges and ensures transactions are posted
correctly by your bank.
- Detect and prevent
embezzlement of funds from within your company.
- Know how your business is
doing. You can't really know unless all accounts are reconciled and
properly accounted for on your financial statement.
- Manage your cash more
effectively. Proper management of funds not only saves money, it makes
money for you.
- Protect yourself. By timely
reconciling and promptly objecting to your bank about any unauthorized,
fraudulent or forged checks presented to your bank and paid by that bank,
you can relieve your agency of responsibility for the shortfall and
transfer the risk to the bank. This reason to reconcile alone should be
enough. Crime exists.
- Sleep Better. You will sleep
more peacefully at night knowing your bank accounts are reconciled, in
balance and that all escrow funds, accounts, checks and disbursed funds
are properly accounted for.
Income Statement
An income statement, otherwise known as a profit and loss statement,
basically adds an itemized list of all your revenues and subtracts an itemized
list of all your expenses to come up with a profit or loss for the period.
An income statement allows you to...
- Track revenues and expenses
so that you can determine the operating performance of your business.
- Determine what areas of your
business are over-budget or under-budget.
- Identify specific items that
are causing unexpected expenditures. Like phone, fax, mail, or supply
expenses.
- Track dramatic increases in
product returns or cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales.
- Determine your income tax
liability.
Balance Sheet
A balance sheet gives you a snapshot of your business' financial condition
at a specific moment in time.
A balance sheet helps you...
- Quickly get a handle on the
financial strength and capabilities of your business.
- Identify and analyze trends,
particularly in the area of receivables and payables. For example, if your
receivables cycle is lengthening, maybe you can collect your receivables
more aggressively.
- Determine if your business is
in a position to expand.
- Determine if your business
can easily handle the normal financial ebbs and flows of revenues and
expenses?
- Determine if you need to take
immediate steps to bolster cash reserves?
- Determine if your business
has been slowing down payables to forestall an inevitable cash shortage?
Balance sheets, along with income statements, are the most basic elements in
providing financial reporting to potential lenders such as banks, investors,
and vendors who are considering how much credit to grant you.
