Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers to common questions about our tax preparation services.
Why should I outsource this role instead of hiring a full-time Controller?
Cost and flexibility. A qualified, full-time Controller typically commands a six-figure salary plus benefits, which is often too expensive for a growing small business. Our outsourced (fractional) model allows you to access that same level of executive expertise for a fraction of the cost, paying only for the oversight you need, when you need it.
What is the difference between a Controller and a Bookkeeper?
Think of a bookkeeper as the person who enters the data (records transactions, sends invoices), while a Controller is the person who verifies the accuracy of that data. A Controller implements “checks and balances,” manages the month-end close, ensures compliance with bookkeeping standards, and provides the higher-level oversight that a standard bookkeeper is generally not trained to do.
Will you replace my current in-house bookkeeping staff?
Usually, no. We work best
What are "Internal Controls" and why do I need them?
Internal controls are the policies and procedures designed to prevent fraud and errors. When one person handles everything (opening mail, writing checks, and reconciling the bank), your risk of theft is high. We help you establish segregation of duties—where we review and approve transactions initiated by your staff—to ensure your assets are protected.
Do you offer tax planning, or just tax preparation?
My bank requires "GAAP compliant" financials. Can you provide those?
Yes. Banks and investors often require financial statements that follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which involves complex accrual-based bookkeeping. Most standard bookkeepers only understand “Cash Basis” bookkeeping. Our Advisors are trained to make the necessary accrual adjustments to produce the professional-grade reports your lenders demand.
