Small Business Accounting

As a small business owner, you have more important things to do than to keep your own books. We take care of your books for you, so you can get back to the job of running your business and generating profits.

Some of our small business accounting services include:

Keeping A Clean Ledger

The general ledger is the core of the financial records of your business. These records are your system's central "books." Since each transaction flows through the general ledger, all your books could be thrown off if there is a problem. Every month, having us review your general ledger system allows us to locate any discrepancies such as double billings or unregistered payments. Then we will fix the discrepancies to keep your books accurate and in top shape.
