Businesses
It’s like having your own accounting department
Through our Virtual Back Office platform, we work with very closely-held service-based businesses, in industries including professional services, franchises, retail, trades, and restaurant/bars. We work alongside them to efficiently manage their tax, accounting, payroll, and strategic planning needs. Our business clients utilize our robust included technology tools to manage their tax and accounting functions, which allows us to efficiently provide assistance and support to them.
Our Virtual Back Office (VBO) approach allows us to fully manage the critical but time-consuming aspects of the accounting, tax and payroll functions, allowing the business owner’s time to be used more effectively and giving the business owner more value for their fee dollars. VBO can go further than the core accounting and tax functions. With our constant year-round involvement, we have a firm foundation for efficiently providing higher-level business planning and strategic assistance, and for the business owner to outsource additional financially sensitive business processes to us, such as payroll administration, accounts payable, accounts receivable/invoicing. We are truly part of the team running your business.
