We are in this together.
Why outsource your QuickBooks Consulting?      Flexibility ·      Your clients need year-round QuickBooks support, making it difficult to provide consistent service during the busyness of tax season.  Loyalty ·      Not providing proactive QuickBooks support may lead some of your clients to pursue other CPA firms and/or tax practitioners who do provide this support. Focus ·       New developments at Intuit like QuickBooks Enterprise, QuickBooks Customer Manager, QuickBooks Point of Sale, and QuickBooks Industry-specific editions require a professional who specializes in QuickBooks consulting to stay current. Effectiveness  ·      Helping your clients to maintain accurate financial information in QuickBooks throughout the year will streamline your productivity on year-end engagements like financial statement preparation/presentation, assurance services, and tax return preparation. Efficiency ·       QuickBooks consulting requires a tremendous amount of computer knowledge, technical research, field time, increasing administrative and travel expenses for your firm. Appreciation ·      Empowering clients in the use of QuickBooks will increase their knowledge of bookkeeping and their respect for management reports. This will, in turn, lead to a greater appreciate for CPA support services and new opportunities to service your clients, like financial analysis and business consulting services.

We've become famous for our catch phrase for clients: "If you don't know, Y.ou A.sk Y.our A.ccountant!" It not only makes them laugh, but it also makes them think! As accounting professionals, we know how valuable your knowledge is to your client base - even if they do not...yet. Most users know that they knew they can't do everything themselves but they tell us they don't know who to ask for help. Most software specialists don't know accounting, many accountants don't want to support software. We fill the middle ground and translate accounting procedures to QuickBooks Users - while you remain your clients' accounting and tax resource. You'll never hear us tell clients that they can do-it-themselves with QuickBooks. That's why we love working with local accountants - so we can refer clients that need your expertise and we can concentrate on what we do best.  Our goal is to help small businesses understand their accounting so they can succeed in their venture. We provide them with the tools and we know experienced accountants are an essential part of the tool kit. Contact our office to see if we can be of service to your firm.
