Here at Gregg S. Bossen, CPA, we strive to offer a wide array of cost effective services for our clients. In addition to the standard tax and accounting services, we also offer QuickBooks® training, business services, nonprofit services, and contractor services. Please scroll down to take an in-depth look at our variety of offerings; we know you will not be disappointed!
Why should I use a CPA when I can just do it? We are all aware of the do-it-yourself tax software that attempts to provide guidance. But, there simply is no substitute for a trained professional probing for deductions that you haven't thought about. Additionally, with a CPA between you and the IRS, you enjoy an extra layer of safety and security knowing that your tax return was prepared properly. The tax preparation fee you pay is usually lower than the resulting tax savings found — it just makes sense. Finally, we will give you the personal touch you deserve that you might not find at some of the larger “big box” firms.
Can't I save money by doing it myself? In a word, not in the long run. — Okay, 5 words. At first, many small business owners attempt to do the accounting themselves in an effort to “save money”. After a while of muddling through accounting, most realize that the many hours they have spent dealing with payroll, entering transactions, completing bank reconciliation's, filing tax forms, responding to IRS notices, etc. have taken valuable time away from what they really need to doing — generating revenues! The fees for having an outside accountant provide services to you are more than returned via increased profit. Those wasted hours can now be spent obtaining new customers and generating revenues for your business.
Can't I simply have the accountant on the board or a staff member to do it? Many have tried, but, nonprofit accounting is unique. In addition to recording income and expenses, other items such as comparisons to budgets, restricted grants, pledges, program costs, donations etc. must be tracked. Many very good accountants have no idea how to accomplish this. Furthermore, most small nonprofits have few staff members and have neither the time nor the expertise to keep up with this vital accounting function. The result is out of date, inaccurate reports or worse, no reports at all. Yet funders, the board, the IRS, staff-members, and donors are all clamoring for up to date accurate financials. Sound familiar?
At Gregg S. Bossen CPA, we provide superior audits at an affordable price. All of our fees are fixed and we offer very quick turnaround. Most of our audits are completed in two weeks. Additionally, if you utilize QuickBooks®, Gregg is an expert and can address any issues you might be having with the QuickBooks® program as part of your audit.
Most contractors have a very busy schedule and want to spend as little time as possible in the office. Let us deal with payroll, entering transactions, completing bank reconciliations, filing tax forms, responding to IRS notices, etc. We will also prepare detailed job reports to analyze profitability, estimate vs actual costs, or to track billable time and materials. The fees for having an outside accountant provide services to you are more than returned as increased profits from those wasted hours spent in the office.
