Comptroller Services

     The majority of small businesses fail between their second and seventh year. Traditional CPA services are geared for those businesses that successfully complete this cycle. Young businesses often only see a CPA for tax and audit, if at all.

     These young businesses utilize nonprofessional help for accounting needs: spouses, friends, or nonlicensed bookkeepers. They utilize Excel ^Ò spreadsheets or programs such as Quicken^Ò or Quickbooks^Ò.

     The problems develop as the business outgrows these systems but cannot afford to access traditional CPA services at high cost.

     As a small business owner, you know your company better then  anyone else, and if you could afford a CPA firm to do bookkeeping, you would.

Critical Resource

     Well, Stephen A. Avery, CPA is one of a handful of CPA firms improving their ability to offer extended services at a price that could increase your capabilities for the same dollars small business spend now.

      Additional  Capabilities — A CPA firm provides an ability to respond not found with typical bookkeepers. CPAs are professionals, distinguished from other accountants by stringent licensing requirements. They must have a college degree, pass a rigorous national examination, and  meet certain experience requirements to qualify for a state license. Once licensed, CPAs are governed by a strict code of professional ethics. CPA firms enjoy experience dealing with the Internal Revenue Service, State Agencies, and other bureaucracies that can overwhelm the small company's resources.

      Improved Quality — CPAs' technical knowledge, training, and business experience enable them to help small business owners find solutions to their day‑to‑day problems. For example, CPAs provide accounting and financial services on an ongoing basis, review and make recommendations to improve internal accounting and administrative controls. CPAs also provide advice to business owners on problems unique to the industries in which their businesses operate and help them make informed decisions.

      These actions can lead to reduced costs, improved financial understanding,  and better cash flow.

      Our Firm is committed to the success of small business.  We offer Comptroller Services to small business based on a flat monthly retainer.  Our current pricing ranges from as little as $25 dollars a month to $1,500 a month.
