We provided bookkeeping cleanup and migration assistance to QuickBooks Online and BILL, then accounting policy development and internal controls implementation. We now act as controller and CFO for this organization.
Rescue From Controller Errors Causing Insolvency

Facing eventual shutdown, this organization requested our help. We improved accounts payable processes and reporting with BILL migration and financial reporting with QuickBooks Online migration. We now handle tax returns, grant allocations and billing, and other controller and CFO duties.

The end result of these services is that this organization has clarity on amounts for grant proposals, understands and can report on the expenditures related to grantor monies, and has audit-ready A/P and A/R processes.
Better Accounting & Tax. Ready For An Audit.
We helped this organization migrate from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online and currently handle all bookkeeping duties following a staff retirement. Beyond bookkeeping services, we assisted this client with setting up and supporting a BILL implementation to improve audit readiness related to accounts payables.
In addition, we prepare and present board reports, handle 571Ls, retirement census reporting, prepare and file tax returns, and handle audit preparation. Our accounting, bookkeeping, and controller services allow this organization to have each number on their balance sheet tied to a supporting document. Also, our audit preparation services allow this client to recoup costs during audits since preparation is more cost-effective than sending unprepared books to an auditor.
