Paperwork. Time. Uncertainty.
Every business owner hates bookkeeping and paperwork. Unfortunately, it has to be done, and it has to be done in a particular format. Otherwise you may find the tax man on your back.
Profitable architecture & engineering firms spend up to 35% of their time performing administrative tasks. When your tasks pile up and there are not enough hours in a day to do them all, then time is your enemy.
Keeping your books is not easy and can cost you a lot of time. When your books are up-to-date, organized, and reconciled, then you can have financial clarity. Otherwise, you have uncertainty.
A three-part plan designed to support your staff and systematize your business.
Systems and technology require quality people to bring them to life. You are assigned an account manager who is responsible to document client specific information within a client manual. The client manual becomes a resource for you and for us, and it allows for a smooth transition in the event of a change in personnel on your side or on ours.
You are provided with cloud-based accounting software, a paperless receipt and bill capture system, and an accounting file backup service. You benefit from a collaborative approach to bookkeeping, where to the extent possible, we limit your staff involvement to providing the information we need to do the heavy lifting.
A big part of financial clarity is staying up-to-date. You or your staff meet with us on a weekly basis. The weekly meeting is the best time to ask and answer questions and to address any issues in the present. When your books are up-to-date, then your financial reports may be relied upon for making important decisions.
Where you gain access to the systems and information you need to be in control of your finances.
We maintain readiness to provide quality bookkeeping services through certifications and affiliations with industry leaders.
Your services are designed to empower you around your finances.
You provide your receipts, bills, and sales invoices, and you receive your organized, reconciled books. Service includes accounting software, accounting file backup, and a dedicated bookkeeping professional.
You say goodbye to paper documents and receipts with a paperless receipt and bill capture system. You submit receipts on-the-go with your smartphone by snapping a photo or by forwarding documents from your email.
You keep track of your finances with monthly, quarterly, and year-end financial statements. Your service includes year-end 1099 preparation & year-end reporting and collaboration with your tax accountant.
Your bills are paid using an accounts payable management system, which includes owner approval controls, bill payment by check or ACH transfer, and weekly support from your bookkeeping professional.
Your sales invoices are sent and you are paid using an accounts receivable management system, which includes direct deposit to your bank account for ACH (electronic) payments.
With profit & loss information for each of your projects or clients, you may compare financial performance across your portfolio and understand which projects or clients are contributing most to your bottom line.
Key Performance Indicators that are relevant to professional services firms are tracked for you, including profitability margin, accounts receivable days, utilization rate, and backlog volume.
You want a business that is profitable and one that pays for income taxes. You accomplish this by setting aside a recommended percentage of revenue for profit, taxes, and contingencies.
You gain a clearer picture of your business performance with monthly, quarterly, and year-end analyses for revenue, profitability, cash flow, and growth.
Your pricing pays for itself through improved efficiency, i.e. improved utilization rate.
