Bank Reconciliation:

Bank reconciliation ensures that your important records are up-to-date and in sync with each other. By carefully reviewing your business checking account and comparing it to your accounting and tax information, we help you:

• Identify missing checks and deposits and discover unauthorized wire transactions.
• Spot bank charges which may be unjustified or excessive and prevent them from happening in the future.
• Make sure transactions are posted correctly.
• Protect yourself from the risk of funds being embezzled as well as unauthorized or forged checks or other fraudulent activity. Constant analysis and oversight can transfer responsibility and risk to the bank.
• Have a clear picture of the health of your business.
• Provide you with more effective cash management.
• Have the peace of mind of knowing that your financial paperwork is in order.

Income Statement:

An income statement is a valuable business tool that itemizes your revenues and expenses to show you your profit or loss during a given period. Having an accurate and current income statement gives you the ability to:

• See exactly where you are making money and where you are spending money in order to assess business performance.
• See where expenses are running higher than anticipated, allowing you to make corrections.
• Identify other unanticipated activities, such as product returns or sudden increases in the cost of goods.
• Calculate income tax owed.

Balance Sheet:

Having an accurate balance sheet available provides you with a quick way to determine the health of your business at any given moment. By reviewing the balance sheet you can:

• See where your business’ strengths and weaknesses lie.
• Spot trends, determine their cause and come up with solutions, especially those involving accounts payables and accounts receivable.
• Make informed decisions regarding the possibility of expansion.
• Make informed decisions regarding your ability to remain flexible in the face of expansion and contraction of business.
• Determine whether you need to increase your cash reserves.
• See whether your receivables are collected in a timely manner and payables are being made according to a payable schedule.

Having an up-to-date, accurate balance sheet and income sheet is essential for businesses that are considering applying for credit or who are responsible for providing financial reporting to creditors. These are the documents that they will rely upon in making decisions that are important to your business’ future.

Keeping a Clean General Ledger

One of the most important services that our small business accounting team provides is a regular review of your general ledger system. The reason that this is so essential is that the general ledger is where the most essential information about your company’s finances is recorded. If something within the ledger is incorrect, the problem will flow through the rest of the company’s financial information, so having us double check for accuracy and discover any discrepancies will ensure that bigger problems do not develop along the way.

Cash Flow Analysis

It is a required part of a full set of financial statements for all business enterprises. It gives information on uses of cash and cash equivalents on operating, investing, and financing activities. It also gives information about material noncash events.

We want you to have a complete understanding of the information that we provide and how you can best use it, so you should never hesitate about contacting us with questions.
