Looking for a QuickBooks Alternative?

QuickBooks is easy if all you want to do is track your bank balance. But, its multiples of options and menu items can be a real time burner when it comes to getting useful information to make your business more profitable. This problem produces what is known as the "Dazed QuickBooks Look".

How about an alternative of Bundled Software, Accounting, and Tax Services instead?

We are a CPA Firm that also writes its own accounting software. Since we control the software, we can continually modify it to meet your specific requirements. This allows us to design our services so that you can do as little or as much of the accounting as you like. Perhaps you want to enter most of the transactions and have us help you only with the hard parts. Or, maybe you want to completely farm out all of the bookkeeping so that you can concentrate on doing those things that make you money. Either way, we can produce an efficient process to accomplish your goal.

What might some of the hard things be?
• Calculating depreciation and amortization costs.
• Reconciliation bank accounts and credit card statements.
• Preparation of sales and payroll tax returns.
• Determining the proper classification between fixed assets and current expenses.
• Calculation and preparation of payroll checks.
• Preparation of Financial Statements for banks and other lenders.

How does this save you money?

• Your time has got to be worth something; we can do a lot of it faster and get it right the first time. If you don't know what your time is worth, we can help you put a number to it.
• Timely recording of costs, coupled with regular bank reconciliations, preserves tax deductions. We can also help you with bullet proofing your tax deductions with adequate documentation.

How are we different?

• Accounting software providers have a minimal interest in accounting and taxes beyond what it takes to get their software to work. We are accountants and have years of experience in talking to our clients about their business operations and accounting/tax issues.
• Other CPA and accounting firms do not write their own accounting software code. We do. As a result we can make changes to customize the computer screens to meet specific client needs.
• Many of the software providers and most of the CPA and accounting firms don't even provide web-based accounting systems. We do. As a result we can monitor your accounting records on a daily basis, regardless of your location, making corrections and changes as needed and alerting you to problems and trends long before the other guys even get the data.
