Frequently Asked Questions

Is this included in monthly bookkeeping?

Basic year-end close is often included in monthly bookkeeping. Comprehensive year-end close with detailed CPA handoff preparation is a premium add-on service.

What exactly do you prepare for my CPA?

We prepare year-end financial statements, organize all tax documents, reconcile all accounts, make necessary adjustments, and create a comprehensive package with everything your CPA needs for tax preparation. This includes supporting documentation and explanations.

Do you file my tax return?

No, we do not file tax returns. We prepare your books and records for your CPA, who handles the actual tax return preparation and filing. We coordinate with your CPA to ensure they have everything they need.

When should year-end close be done?

Year-end close is typically done shortly after the end of your fiscal year, usually in January for calendar-year businesses. We'll work with you and your CPA to ensure timing aligns with tax preparation deadlines.

What if my CPA finds issues?

We coordinate with your CPA to address any questions or issues they find. If adjustments are needed, we'll make them and ensure your books are corrected. Our goal is to catch issues before they reach your CPA, but we're here to support the process.

Can you help with tax planning?

We can provide basic tax planning recommendations based on your financial results. For detailed tax planning and strategy, you'll want to work directly with your CPA or tax advisor.
