Accounting For
Business
Let an expert help with the accounting so you can concentrate on the product or service you offer.
Outside Controller Services
As an Outside Controller we can remote access your computer to cut checks, make corrections to the accounting, bank reconciliations and create financial statements. With Remote Access, we can not re- enter your computer or system without being granted permission after the session is closed.
Our Process
First. We Listen. For Free.
You can make an appointment to meet with Jerry or Jim. They will listen to you, get a sense of the services you want or need, and suggest how best to implement those services.
After the initial consultation, we will give you an estimate of the cost of our services.
Once we have a plan agreed upon, we’ll get to work taking genuine care for your business financials.
We work with YOU
We will not force you to fit into a process that doesn’t work for you. We’ll find out how you function and operate as well as communicate, and work with your system, not make you follow ours. Your workflow will become ours.
