Here’s how we can help you with accounting services:

Monthly financial statements

Financial statements present your balance sheet and income and cash-flow statements giving you a snapshot of your company’s financial position during a specific time period. Your CAA staff will walk you through the information on your financial statement so you understand what it means and how you can use it.

Financial statements offer many tools to help you make informed decisions for your business:

  • General ledger reports give you the details you’re looking for on all of the accounts for the month including your company’s assets, liabilities, owner’s equity and revenue and expenses.
  • Comparative financial statements give you the ability to compare where you are this year compared to last year at this time.
  • Trend reports show you how you have been performing for the last 12 months.
  • Ratio analysis translates your company’s numbers into ratios that can be compared to both last year’s ratios and industry averages. This helps you more thoroughly understand which areas of your financial situation are on target and which areas need more attention.
  • Break-even analysis shows how much of your revenue goes to cover fixed costs and how much is left for variable costs. It also tells you how much of your product/service you need to sell in order to break-even.

Accounting outsourcing

Business owners turn to us to outsource their accounting. Either the current staff is overworked or the business owner is looking to reallocate resources. But no matter the reason, outsourcing your accounting duties to us will make your job easier:
