 Q: Do you charge an hourly rate or fixed monthly fee for your services?

A: We have different rates for different services:
Bookkeeping Services
A fixed monthly fee is established for bookkeeping services.  This eases your budget planning because you know exactly your monthly costs.

Accounting and Business Consulting services
Accounting services are invoiced at an hourly rate starting at $95 depending on the level of staff required.

Personal Tax Returns
Tax return preparation starts at $150 per return.

Q: Should I have my bookkeeping completed every month?

A: Not necessarily – monthly, quarterly, or annually.  However, you enjoy the maximum benefits when your records are updated regularly.  Many of our clients prefer receiving updated information each month and we highly recommend it to you.

Q: I have an accountant already.  Can I still use your service?

A: Absolutely.  You can use our bookkeeping service. We will provide all necessary records and reports to your accountant.  We are happy to answer any questions and assist your accountant to maximize the value of both our services and your accountant’s services.  In fact, if you have a particular issue that we feel requires the advice of an expert, we will provide you a reference to a local professional and will work with them until the issue is properly resolved.

Q: I would like to do some bookkeeping tasks myself.  Can I still use your service?

A: Yes, no problem.  For example, some of our clients invoice their customers by themselves.  We will do whatever tasks are left.  We can discuss with you an ideal solution to streamline the work.

Q: What if I am audited by the government?

A: We understand it can be stressful when you are chosen by the government for audit.  We will respond to any government inquiry and assist preparing the documents requested by the government.

Q: Do you return my documents?

A: Yes, we return your original records once the bookkeeping records have been updated.

Q: I have not had a bookkeeper before and all of my documents have piled up.  Can you still help?

We will organize and summarize all of your receipts, invoices, bank statements, credit card statements, and anything else you might have that has piled up.  No pre-sorting or organizing necessary!
