Accounting

As a small business owner you have more important things to do than to keep your own books. We take care of your books for you, so you can get back to the job of running your business and generating profits!

Each month or quarter we’ll do the following things for you:

  • Reconcile your bank account
  • Generate an income statement
  • Generate a balance sheet
  • Clean up your general ledger
  • Provide unlimited consultations

These tasks form the solid foundation of your small business accounting system, and it’s important to get them right. We can work together to customize the package of services you receive, by adding payroll, tax planning, tax preparation, or any of our other services. Just contact us to find out how we can tailor to your needs.

Bookkeeping

A wise business owner once said, “Happiness is a positive cash flow.” As a business owner, we’re sure you’ll agree. The world is a better place when your cash-in exceeds your cash-out!

A cash crisis can be emotionally devastating, it can even kill your business.

If you’ve ever had to beg, borrow and steal to cover tomorrow’s payroll you’ll know what we mean. But we’re here to ensure you don’t have to go through that again.

Our cash management service allows you:

  • know when, where, and how your cash needs will occur.
  • know what the best sources are for meeting your additional cash needs.
  • be prepared to meet these needs when they occur, by keeping good relationships with bankers and other creditors.

The starting point for avoiding a cash crisis is allowing us to develop a cash flow projection for you.

Tax

We know, we know. It’s weird to ‘love tax’. But we love to make ‘accounting less taxing’, and that means doing your tax in a timely, efficient and cost-saving manner.

Avoid penalties, or using precious time to file appropriate paperwork (or risk overlooking important details). If not all of your income is taxable (freelancers, read this bit, it’s mainly for you), we can help you work out what’s claimable, what’s not- and what you have to pay to IRS.

Professional service firms have saved vast amounts by employing specialist tax agents: it really is worth talking to Rayner CPA about how we can save you money, starting now!

Tax

Books a Mess? No Problem!
If you own a small business and haven’t kept up your bookkeeping, don’t worry. We can help you. We’ll prepare your bookkeeping for the year, prepare a full Schedule C, as well as your personal income tax return. Then we’ll help you set up an easy system that allows you to keep your books in tip-top shape next year.
