At CMP, we have found that many small businesses are using their accounting software inefficiently. Its primary use is for nothing more than getting money in and out of the door via invoices and checks. It’s also not uncommon for small businesses to enter information into their accounting programs after-the-fact for tax-filing purposes.
The point of using an accounting software program is to summarize large amounts of data and to produce financial reports that business leaders can use to increase profitably. No matter the size of your business, having the right accounting software is vital.
Our team can guide you through this process. We can consult, teach, train, and help implement the accounting software solution that works best for you.
We also understand that they should be different by industry. Nonprofits need fund accounting software to track grant management, enter journal entries in various funds, and create reports for stakeholders and donors. Legal practices need something that allows them to track time and billable hours, invoice clients, and manage their calendars.
No matter your industry, we’ll be able to consult on the right software for your needs.
Troy M., at CMP has been our CPA since 1993. We have numerous entities that require sophisticated analysis for tax planning, and return preparation. Troy has saved us over a $100k, by proper application of the tax code to our situation. It amazes me that he remembers the details for each entity and family member. Troy goes beyond tax preparation and has recommended strategic strategy that has proved insightful and spot on. I have been pleased with the firms prompt response to our needs. We were represent by a large nation CPA firm, however I switched to CMP because they met our needs better and at less costs. We have been very pleased with their professionalism, knowledge, effectiveness, ethics, and personal concern.
