Accounting & Bookkeeping

Whether you're a sole proprietor or the manager of a business that has many employees, someone in your organization has to be responsible for the myriad bookkeeping tasks that are required. Your bills have to be paid, and you have to ensure that your customers are fulfilling their financial obligations to you.

If it was that simple, you could probably do it yourself. But fiscally responsible accounting is complex, and it requires adherence to a strict set of rules. You need a Chart of Accounts that matches your company's structure and an always-accurate General Ledger. Your bank accounts must be reconciled regularly, and you need to know how to create, customize and interpret critical financial reports.

And you must establish a daily workflow that accommodates all of these tasks. If you're on your own, you'll have to wedge this crucial work in between all of your other responsibilities. Even if you have a dedicated accounting employee or staff, you're ultimately responsible for staying compliant – and in the black.

We can take on responsibility for all of your ongoing small business accounting needs. Whether it's required monthly or quarterly, we'll reconcile your accounts, keep your bookkeeping records clean and generate the necessary reports.

We can take over your payroll responsibilities, too. Payroll is probably the most complicated element of small business accounting. Not only do you have to make sure that your employee records are absolutely accurate, containing the correct pay rates, deductions and other withholding, but you must keep up with your financial and reporting obligations to federal and state tax authorities on a monthly or quarterly basis. Mistakes make you subject to expensive fines and penalties.

And of course, there are those regular payroll runs that have to be timely and precise.

When we manage your payroll for you, you'll save time and money. You can rest assured that your payroll taxes and filings will be submitted on time, and accurately, and we'll build the reports you need. When you outsource your payroll to us, you and your staff will have more time to concentrate on growing your business. We have three levels of service, one of which is likely to meet your needs and your budget.

You may reach the point in your company's growth when your financial management has become too complex for you or your accounting staff to handle. Maybe you need better tax-saving strategies or help with long-range plans and goals. You might need more sophisticated analysis or assistance dealing with bankers and insurance agents and vendors. You may also need more stringent financial controls and training for your accounting staff that you simply can't provide.

You need a big-picture money manager who can oversee all aspects of your company's finances.

In other words, you need a Chief Financial Officer, but you don't have the budget or, really, the workload for a full-time employee. That's where our Part-Time CFO Services come in. We can do all of the heavy lifting for your company, leaving you to do what you do best.

Accounting is far from a one-size-fits-all set of procedures. If you manage a nonprofit organization, you're well aware of this. You have very specific, unique income- and expense-tracking and reporting needs. We know what they are, and we'll see that you're compliant. We'll take care of it all for you: reports, payroll, accounting software setup and maintenance, employee training – anything that your business requires.

At Bottom Line Tax Services, we always offer a free consultation. We invite you to explore our website and familiarize yourself with our many services. And then contact us. We're ready to listen and to apply our decades of financial expertise to your situation.
