Yes, I can help you with all of your tax and compliance obligations.  If you already have a tax accountant, I can work to get them what they need regarding your financial statements.  My goal would be to reduce the time they spend on your behalf and reduce their fees.

Many small business owners do not know where their profit levels stand during the year.  This is where I can certainly improve your life.  Keeping your books up to date and availing yourself of timely reports will help you make quicker business decisions and avoid a financial problem getting out of hand.

Cash flow can be very tricky for a non-Accountant to fully understand.  With accrual vs cash accounting or tax vs book accounting, it is no wonder the average business owner looks at accounting as this big mystery they would rather avoid.  I take pains to answer all of your accounting questions in an easy to understand manner, so you will know what your true cash flow picture is each month of the year.  I will also provide you suggestions for ways to improve your cash flow moving forward.

Yes, I can help you understand if you need additional financing and I can also prepare you to approach the bank for a loan.  My previous experience with a large international bank taught me exactly what banks look for when deciding whether to extend credit to a business.  I can bring this experience to bear for you.

It is estimated the average small business owner spends up to 10 hours a month attempting to keep up with the books.  I can give you back this time to focus on growing your business.  Also, when you have your financial situation at your finger tips, you will be enabled to make key decisions more quickly....saving you even more time.

It is very difficult for a small business owner to compete with larger companies, who have entire accounting and information technology staffs on hand to keep the numbers and reporting in order.  I spent several years in the information technology group of an international high tech company and know first hand how to properly set up software and hardware for small businesses.  The key to catching up with the larger companies is to know your data cold.  I can help you meticulously set up your data sets, to ensure you are able to mine that data quickly whenever you need it.

One of the major reason small businesses fail is they do not get their accounting and finances in order.  If you constantly feel as though you don't know your financial footing each month, you need to bring me in to help.  I have years of financial analysis experience and I will be able to help you guide the business through the use of timely financial reporting.

Over the years I have gained experience in many industries including auto manufacturing, retail, computer equipment manufacturing, independent contracting, international corporate banking, food and beverage manufacturing, hotel management, as well as top level public accounting.  When I worked in corporate banking I had to learn a banking client's industry quickly in order to fully understand their credit worthiness.  So, even if your company does not fall into one of the above categories, I have been trained on how to learn your industry very quickly.

I have worked for JP Morgan Chase, Anheuser Busch/Campbell Taggart, Deloitte, Hilton Hotels, Lexmark International, and Robert Half.  I have also worked with local clients in the Japanese auto manufacturing industry and the mattress and bedding products industry.  Additional client industries include financial services, convenience stores, craft and hobby stores, furniture retail, tile retail, savings and loan concerns, real estate sub-dividers and developers, and electric utilities.  I am ready to use this varied experience to help you prosper.

Moving your accounting to the cloud can provide operational efficiencies, as well as the security of knowing someone can't break into your business and physically damage or steal your financial information.  We can also sit down and review your primary daily processes and determine which software can provide the most bang for the buck.  Sales transaction processing, payroll processing, and vendor invoice information processing are just three of the ways cloud software can help your business.
