Certified Public Accounting Firms

RR Accountants LTD firms will be your best friends come tax time. However, they may or may not employ small business accountants, who can help with small business payroll services. You need to ask to see what services are or are not offered.

Role of Certified Public Accounting Firms
The role of certified public accounting firms has changed in the recent past. These firms are no longer active only at tax time, and many act as full time financial advisers. This is why it's always wise to pinpoint your own needs before shopping for an accounting firm. If you need bookkeeping services, you can start with CPA firms. Since I'm a firm believer in outsourced bookkeeping, I would see if any prospective CPA firm offers that service. Outsourced accounting is becoming more and more popular, so it's likely you'll find quite a few firms that offer this excellent service. Should your company ever face an audit, you will absolutely need a CPA firm, and a high quality one at that. When looking for a CPA to get you through an audit, ask for recommendations. Follow up on those recommendations, and see how your prospective CPA served other companies under audit.

Financial outsourcing will save you from many of the inconveniences that come with hiring a full time accountant. For example, you'll get a certified bookkeeper without ever having to worry about sick days or vacation time. I'm not saying a full time employee shouldn't get those benefits, but when you only need part time work, it should come without those strings attached.

Saving Time with Financial Outsourcing

I thought I had run out of ways you save time by using financial outsourcing, but I always seem to find more. Let's suppose you wanted to hire a bookkeeper, even part time, to handle your limited accounting needs. Choosing an outsourcing company instead will save you a great deal of time, simply because you won't have to go through the hiring process. Finding a qualified accountant, either full or part time, is hard work. You need to place ads in the right publications and online job boards, you need to screen and interview applicants, and you'll want to check their references.

Outsourcing firms have already gone through the background of their bookkeepers, and know they're of superior quality. When you calculate all these issues into consideration, you'll be amazed by how much you'll save with outsourcing. The savings in time and money can't help but impact your bottom line, and make your company run much more smoothly. I have loved the freedom that outsourcing all my accounting has given to me and my employees. It's priceless.
