How to Select Business Accounting Services Provider

Author:Analytix Solutions

Over 40% of America's largest businesses improve their profitability using outside service providers for their bookkeeping and financial functions. Due to technological advances, this same alternative is now available to small businesses. Firms using the Analytix solution are discovering that moving part or all of their bookkeeping and accounting functions to professional outside providers saves costs while freeing up valuable management time.

Business owners need to maintain accurate financial records to properly manage their business, while also conforming to government regulations requiring mandated filings, such as federal income and state sales taxes. In general, businesses need three types of services during the year which our professionals provide:

Bookkeeping Services:

Bookkeeping is the recording of a business's financial transactions. It is the first step of the accounting process, which also includes classifying, reporting and analyzing financial data.

Accounting Services:

Business owners regularly need an accurate financial picture to understand how to better manage a business. Financial statements provide owners with crucial information such as the business’s liabilities, assets, equity and profitability over a given period.

Tax Planning and Financial Analysis:

All businesses are required by law to file with both state and federal government. These mandated filings range from tax estimates, individual and business tax returns, to quarterly or monthly state sales tax filings. Further, government regulations require that copies be kept of all financial records needed in the filing for up to seven years. Without good record-maintaining, businesses can leave themselves exposed to fines and penalties during an audit by the appropriate state or federal authorities.
