Accurate and timely accounting records are the backbone of any company’s financial reporting system. If these records are not accurate, management will be reading and reacting to the wrong financial information. If the records are not kept up to date, it may be too late to correct a problem by the time management becomes aware of it. If for any reason you are experiencing problems with either of these issues, let Rager, Lehman & Houck, P.C. introduce you to our ---

Accounting Systems Advisors (ASA) Team

This team of accounting specialists will be there to assist you with your daily bookkeeping issues. They are available to help with any of the following:

• Bookkeeping (Weekly/Monthly/Quarterly/Annually)
• General ledger and internal financial statement preparation
• Payroll services (including preparation of payroll checks, tax deposits, reports and quarterly and annual reporting)
• Accounting systems set-up for new businesses
• State Sales and Use Tax returns

If you find yourself without a bookkeeper or your bookkeeper would like to take an extended vacation, keep in mind that our ASA team is prepared to step in and be your bookkeeper as long as you need them. They currently service some of our clients in this capacity on either a weekly or semiweekly basis. This team is willing and capable of working with whatever accounting software you have in place and will travel to your office on a regular schedule, with additional days as needed. In fact, one of our clients lost a full time bookkeeper and we now do all their bookkeeping in one day a week.

One of the great things about this team is their knowledge of some of the most popular accounting packages. QuickBooks and Peachtree seem to be the front runners when small to medium sized businesses are looking for accounting software. The ASA team currently has three QuickBooks ProAdvisors and two Peachtree specialists able to assist you in the setup and training of these programs. If you would like an online solution, we support QuickBooks Online for the small business and Intacct for the medium to large sized businesses. These solutions are great because they allow your accountant to not only help you with software issues but to be able to see your data in real time which helps in the tax planning process. Location is no longer an issue with an online solution.

Please contact the ASA manager in your area to discuss your needs.
