The following are answers to some of the most Frequently Asked Questions our
company receives.
Do you provide these services at our place of business?
We perform the work at Accounting Group's office. Our clients can email,
fax, express delivery or phone us their tax record information and we respond promptly.
With the Internet and reporting options via email or web pages, we are able
to provide the same quality of service as if we were next door. In addition our remotely
accessible accounting software allows for full integration with your staff for what
ever your requirements are.
How much do your Accounting Services cost?
Our fixed cost depends on various factors, such as employees, transaction volume, affecting
what the work load of your entire accounting support services require. Our fees will be
estimated the best we can upfront, though may be adjusted up or down depending on our first
quarter or years work.
Are there any additional fees for the Accounting Service?
No, with a fixed price agreement, you can call us any time with questions regarding
your account with the knowledge that you will not be charging extra for, reasonable,
additional requests.
How much do your Tax Services cost?
Federal, State, Individual and Small Business Income Tax Returns are charged
on a return basis depending on how much time is necessary to complete the
tax return. Our fees are typically about 20% less then large tax preparation
shops such as H&R Block, and substantially less then a CPA. In addition you are
getting a substantially more qualified individual with over 25 years of accounting
and tax experience.
Do you no longer provide small business consulting services?
Those of you familar with our company are well aware we provided full onsite consulting, training
and troubleshooting on an hourly basis to small businesses between 2004 and 2005 regarding your
accounting software implementation. Due to the success of our complete outsourcing alternative
we have decided to no longer take on new clients for this limited service. If you need
help selecting and installing accounting systems we do recommend you contact Netmation Inc.
For other accounting needs feel free to contact us with your requirements and, if possible,
we will recommend services that would be best for your business needs.
Do you perform audits of financial statements?
No, we are strictly a tax and accounting service. For small businesses, we will
work closely with auditors to minimize your costs.
