Payroll
A good payroll system is critical to keeping your organization running smoothly. You can’t afford to miss a payroll, tax payment, or filing deadline. Our system will pay your employees on time via direct deposit, keep your compensation information confidential, file and pay your payroll tax reports, and keep up with ever-changing government regulations. We work closely with select payroll providers who provide the infrastructure to serve your growing business. We oversee the setup, implementation, and administration to ensure it’s done right and at the lowest possible cost to you.
In addition, for our non profit clients, we understand ministerial payroll, housing allowances, and minister’s taxation.
Consulting
We apply our expertise in bookkeeping to provide a full assessment of your entire back office financial systems. From bookkeeping workflows to accountable reimbursement plans to the chart of accounts, we take the time and care to understand your current system and how it can better serve your organization. We interview you and your team to learn what is important to you, and then we deliver thorough, written guidance to identify areas of strength and opportunities for improvement.
We can also provide consultation on specific issues related to your workflow, paperless record keeping, software, technology implementation, and best-practice alignment. Have a question about a system or process? We’ve probably seen it before, and can provide a best practice solution that will keep your business running smoothly as you grow.
We can also coordinate with your CPA during tax return and audit season, so they have easy access to the information they need to serve you effectively.
