How We Can Help You
The real value in numbers comes in projections, analysis, and business intelligence for proactive decision-making.
Having access to all those things is nearly impossible when you’re always waiting on reliable numbers or questioning the reliability of the bookkeeping. That’s why at Molen & Associates we have expert talent to streamline your accounting and bookkeeping. We give you confidence in the numbers so you can focus on the strategy and move the needle in the business.
How We Work
We understand the frustration in having an inefficient finance team. If any component is lagging behind it slows down the entire team. That’s why we built a network of highly-vetted, skilled accountants and bookkeepers. This is extremely important if you are a solo-preneur or have a small team where each member is wearing multiple hats.
With Molen & Associates, you can plug in talent on a regular basis to assist with Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Payroll, and more. If you have a one-off project, our talent can step in there, too! It’s the best of all worlds: you have access to talent when you need it and the flexibility to keep things moving.
We prioritize matching you to the right talent so the experts on your team can focus on the highest-leverage activity. We can connect you with a professional who understands your industry.
What Do You Really Want?
We are not naive. We know accounting, bookkeeping, payables, payroll—you name it—is not what you really want.
You want a healthy business.
You want profitability.
You want consistent, predictable growth.
That’s what we want for you, too. And we know that only happens when you have solid data at your fingertips. More importantly, that can only happen when the business leaders have that information at their fingertips and are able to use it for higher-level decision-making. You went into business because you have a vision or passion for something that probably isn’t accounting – so focus on your strengths!
We see too many business executives and finance experts drowning in bookkeeping and accounting adjustments and reports. This minutiae is not only a terrible use of time, but it also robs you of the strategy, forecasting, and projecting your business needs to thrive.
At Molen & Associates, we want to see your business thrive. So we bring the right talent to the table to give you the confidence and speed you need to grow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers to common questions about our tax preparation services.
What is the difference between accounting and just filing taxes?
Filing taxes is a once-a-year event that reports history. Accounting is a year-round process that tracks your business health in real-time. While tax preparation focuses on compliance, our accounting services focus on clarity. We provide monthly financial statements that show you exactly where your money is going, helping you make smarter decisions about hiring, spending, and growing throughout the year.
I already use QuickBooks. Why do I need an accountant?
Software is a tool, not an accountant. While QuickBooks is powerful, it relies on you to categorize transactions correctly. If you don’t understand the difference between an asset and an expense, or how to reconcile a bank feed, your reports will be inaccurate. We act as the expert operator, ensuring the data inside your software is actually correct and meaningful.
Do I need to send you my receipts and bank statements every month?
To maintain accurate books, we generally need view-only access to your bank and credit card accounts to categorize transactions efficiently. For receipts, we utilize modern, secure digital portals where you can upload documents easily. This eliminates the need for you to drop off a “shoebox of receipts” and ensures you have a digital paper trail for every deduction.
My books are currently a mess. Can you still help me?
Absolutely. We specialize in “catch-up” and “clean-up” accounting. We offer a judgment-free zone where we take your disorganized records—whether they are months or years behind—and reconstruct your financials. We will get you caught up, compliant, and set up on a system to stay organized moving forward.
