Adding employees can be very time consuming and hard to get the right fit. First you have to find someone that you think will fit your culture and your needs. Then you fill out paperwork for them, set up payroll processing, pay them, provide benefits in some cases and manage them. If you are a small business that is a lot to take on.
Some accounting firms do offer bookkeeping but many times you are paying a higher price for less one- on- one detailed service and/or more overhead.
With Healthy Accounting you have flexibility. We focus on your direct needs at the time. We shape a package to fit your budget. We grow as you grow. We are here for the details of your business. We partner with a tax accountant to focus on the taxes.
If you have accounting software we can usually work with what you use. Due to our accounting experience we have worked on packages such as Wave and Quickbooks so we usually understand what needs to be done. If it is a package we have not worked with, we can discuss if it will work moving forward.
If you do not have software we can offer Quickbooks online as part of your package price.
No, Healthy Accounting is a company of experienced accountants and bookkeepers that work on multiple companies; and therefore we are treated as an independent contractor. An independent contractor receives no company benefits and you do not pay payroll taxes for us. We are contracted depending on the services we agree to.
So many people ask if we do taxes, and I have in the past-in my accounting firm days. Healthy Accounting was formed so we could focus just on the foundational and essential aspects of bookkeeping, financial statements, budgets, and cashflow analysis. You may wonder why. It’s because we love being in the inner systems of the body of the business. We want to have these aspects right and make sense to you so you can understand the finances of your business. With quality essential accounting you will make great decisions on how to prepare for the unexpected and for the goals you want to reach. When these aspects are accurate your company moves much smoother and it’s very clear for your tax accountant.
We do not have any tax preparers our company, but we work with many. If you have one, we will be happy to reach out to them if needed. We’ll have documents ready for them to use for your taxes.
If you do not have a tax preparer, we have many that we can refer you to. We usually refer you to 2 or 3 so you can have an initial meeting with them and decide who you work with best.
As part of your package we will both sign a Service Agreement. This is just so we are on the same page of what work is to be done and the expectations of both parties.
In many cases you do not need a CPA. We prepare your books or work with you, so they are ready for tax time. This will include internal financial statements, which is what you need for tax time. We can also work with you on a budget and cash flow analysis. A CPA can also do this for you, but they are going to be much more expensive and they don’t usually work on these types of items for microsize companies.
If you need an audit-don’t hurry to take it to an accounting firm right away. An audit requires clean books and that is the first foundational aspect we provide (organized and accurate bookkeeping.) We can get your books ready to be audited at a much lower cost than an accounting firm will charge.
Absolutely! We are here to help you and be an outside set of eyes and ears. In the end you are in charge of the decision and the execution of moving your business forward.
