Bookkeeping is the foundation of your business's financials. By accurately tracking assets, liabilities, and equity, you can make better decisions about where to spend and where to save. Bookkeeping also ensures you're in line for tax season and prepared in case of an audit. The benefit of having your accountant do your books (rather than hire a separate bookkeeper) is that it ensures total consistency throughout your financials. We call this "beyond-basic" because we approach it as the backbone of financial reporting rather than just simple compliant record-keeping.
The ledger gets a little complicated when multiple locations, businesses, or brands are involved. To conform with laws and regulations, you'll need a specialized accountant to precisely track the movement of supplies, inventory, cash, and other assets between these entities. As a bonus, keeping these transactions in order paints a more accurate picture of which corners of your business(es) are most profitable. We specialize in this branch of accounting and are prepared to tackle its unique challenges.
Whether you want them monthly, quarterly, yearly, or on the fly, financial reports paint the real-world picture of your business's success. We're happy to pull cash flow statements, balance sheets, profit & loss statements, and statements of owners' equity, and either review them together or deliver customized insights. We also use these reports to answer questions like "how profitable were we last summer versus this summer?" and "how much did this job cost, and did we make money off of it?" This service is highly personalized to each client and changes shape as your business grows.
Operational headaches can strain staff, eat into payroll and supply costs, and even damage relationships with clients and customers. What makes Northbound unique from other accounting firms is our ability to not only identify these issues through financial reporting, but to then research and propose straightforward, cost-effective solutions. Sometimes they include technology; more often, it comes down to establishing best practices, more effective communication, and making better use of the tools already at your disposal.
