Introduction: It's bad enough that a small business has to pay more taxes than an employee, but to add insult to injury, small businesses also have to pay to have accurate books and file complex tax returns. It's all cash out with no cash in return. If you don't get your books in good order, you will pay too much in taxes and fines and liens; it turns into a black hole that sucks money and puts your business at risk. If you get your books in order, it costs time and money now that you need to use to make money and pay bills that just can't wait. I'm a semi-retired CFO/controller and public accountant who loves helping small- to medium-sized businesses. I really do understand your fear -- bookkeeping limits and cash flow priorities. There is a solution based on a three-pronged approach: * Less is more. Most businesses (big and small) don't understand how simple and painless good books can be. Let's get real –- staff and contract bookkeepers often complicate things or worse may not have a clue. Whether you have a computerized system or not, duplication of effort and useless effort is costing you money and accuracy. I can fix that. It will save you money today and tomorrow plus give you peace of mind. * Get it done quick. Why is it that the year-end and bookkeeping process takes forever? I don't want to go to the dentist for a quick drill every week, and neither do you. I have the time flexibility to meet you at your site, listen to you, suggest ways to get it right without any consulting fees. If we agree, I get it done as fast as you can keep up; that way, it's over without drama. I move on (instead of billing forever), and you have a simplified process that you understand and is accurate and inexpensive. * Finance it. I'll provide you with a very reasonable sum-certain cost based upon professional discounts (my rate for CPAs), so you know the cost upfront. You also know that it will not cost more than the bid. Then, we'll work out a payment plan that isn't painful to your cash flow. I don't pad the rates or charge interest. If you are in the SF Bay Area, call or email me. The money you save is yours. PS: I cooperate professionally with all tax, CPAs and EAs. Thanks!
