HOW WE CAN HELP
Our business bookkeeping packages allow you to have all of your company data in one organized set of books and gives you the basics that you will need to make informed decisions about your business. After all, if you don’t know how much your business is earning, then how can you even make decision to run and improve your business?! Proper business bookkeeping also allows you to have the needed data and reports required to be provided to your tax return accountant come that dreaded tax time!
GRA CPA is different from most large accounting firms in the sense that we offer in-house basic bookkeeping services to our clients, in addition to more advanced accounting and financial statement preparation services such as GAAP compliance; Prepared Financial Statements; Compiled Financial Statements; and Reviewed Financial Statements.
As many companies do not want to pay for a CPA firm to do their bookkeeping or accounting, what often happens is that their underlying data and general ledger is a complete mess. When this happens, you might end up paying more to have your books cleaned up by a CPA, or even worse, a CPA firm may be unable to help you with those needed Compiled, Reviewed or Audited Financial Statements. This may be even more costly when it comes time to grow your business and you are unable to provide the required independent CPA financial statements required of your business. Whether it’s bank/lending requirements or loan/debt covenants that you have to meet, investor requirements, bonding needs or state licensure application needs; not having basic reconciled and complete/reliable books and data to start with can cost your business dearly. And if you don’t have the appropriate accounting professionals and/or controllers employed within your business, this may cost you more money in the long run when needing to clean up your books and potentially missing out on lost opportunities and lost business.
Your business financial reports are only as good as the underlying data that makes it up. Would you build your house on a dirt foundation? Than why would you build your business without the basic proper bookkeeping foundation and principles? For less than the yearly cost of a bookkeeper/secretary, you can hire a licensed and skilled accounting firm to provide you with that solid bookkeeping foundation.
That’s why we, at GRA CPA, offer affordable bookkeeping packages to businesses and business owners. We do not outsource your bookkeeping. You’ll have the support of a dedicated team member from our staff assigned to your business as the main point of contact and lead accountant to your business books.
