How the process works

Get ready to take control of your finances.

Initial Consultation

We get to know you and you get to know us.

The purpose of the initial consultation is for us to get to know you, and for you to get to know us. There is no fee or commitment for the initial consultation. We will never charge you for discussing your needs with us.

We’ll ask you to provide us with a few details about your business to see if our services match the needs and goals of your business. We’ll also answer any questions you may having regarding our services. If we agree we are a good fit, we’ll move on to Step Two.

Step One

Assess Your Needs

We assess the current status of your financial records and record keeping system.

Step two is for us to assess where you are with your existing accounting records, your record keeping system and your goals. Because each business is unique, it’s important that we spend time to understand the needs of each client and cater their services accordingly. Once discovered we can provide you with our recommendations and a proposal for your services.

In order to provide you with accurate information we must discover the scope of work necessary. We’ll provide you with a detailed list of questions that will help us get a clear picture of your businesses current accounting process and status.

During the discovery process we’ll ask for access to your existing accounting records and your last filed tax return. We’ll discuss your current business structure and accounting processes, the accuracy of your data, status of your records (are you behind, how long), app integrations and many other aspects of your financial story.

After the discovery process is complete we will provide you with a detailed proposal including the scope of the work to be performed and the cost of each service.

Once agreed upon and approved we will provide you with a letter of engagement and move on to Step 3.

We get to work!

Step 3 is where the work begins. Once we have received your executed engagement letter and deposit we’ll get to work!

Setup – If you don’t already have one, we’ll set you up with a QuickBooks Online (QBO) account. If you currently use Quickbooks Desktop we’ll handle converting your data file to a new QBO account. Either way, we’ll make sure your account is set up to best represent your company’s financial story.

We’ll provide you with a customized chart of accounts, reports and integrate software integrations necessary to properly maintain your books.

Cleanup – We’ll clean up your existing QuickBooks Online data so it’s accurate! We’ll investigate where the problems are and resolve them so your data is correct and balanced. We’ll also put structure in place so you’ll better understand the story of your numbers.
