Why hire an outside bookkeeper?
The simple reason is to save time and money! With an outside bookkeeper you aren't having to pay a full-time employee (including benefits, vacation, employer taxes). We offer flexible schedules on your time and customized bookkeeping for your business. Sometimes a business has grown much faster than anticipated and the financial aspect becomes overwhelming. This is where we offer assistance with software solutions, training, consultations and bookkeeping clean ups and even full charge bookkeeping services.
When should I consult an outside bookkeeper?
Now! The best case scenario would be to contact a bookkeeper during the formation of your business. If the business is established, contacting a bookkeeping as soon as possible will save you the most money. Turning bookkeeping tasks over to unqualified employees or family members can lead to inaccurate accounting and tax filings. Clean ups for long established books are time consuming and more costly to unravel. The best practice is to contact a highly qualified local bookkeeper as soon as possible!
What can I expect during my initial consultation?
The initial consultation is our time to get to you know your business. We'll go over basic information regarding the size and needs of your business. This is the time where you tell us what you need and how we can make your business run better. We can meet in person at your place of business or you can give us a call!
What kind of fees are there?
At Chapman Account Professionals, our services are customized per client. Contact us today and we can give you a specialized quote to save your company time and money.
Do you prepare taxes?
No, we do not prepare taxes. Instead, we work as a liaison between your business and your tax professional to ensure that your reporting is accurate for your tax filing. Having clean and detailed bookkeeping records will ensure lower tax preparation costs.
Do you need to work at our location?
No. We use a variety of accounting software to be able to work from our local office. You're busy running your business. We try and stay out of the way!
