Small Business Services

 A small business needs a CPA who, in addition to preparing financial statements and tax returns, will be viewed as a trusted adviser and is the company's primary means of coping with the requirements of government agencies, lending institutions and others. We at Pender Newkirk & Company view small business services as the function of providing a small business client with cost-effective advice and assistance to maximize its resources and achieve its goals. In addition to the tax, assurance, compilation and review services previously discussed, we offer the following services specifically designed for our small business clients:

• Small Business Systems Advisory Services
• General Ledger and Financial Statement Preparation
• Cash Flow and Budgeting Analysis
• Payroll Services

Small Business Systems Advisory Services

We offer implementation, training, and support of many widely used, entry-level computer bookkeeping software programs. These include QuickBooks, Peachtree, OneWrite Plus, and MAS90. These accounting systems provide exceptional value for small businesses. We are kept abreast of the latest product developments, training materials, and usability features.

We meet with new or current users of these programs and provide an assessment of their accounting system needs and a demonstration of these programs. After the assessment/demonstration, we can provide our client with a written proposal for services including, as applicable, the price of the software, installation, set up, training, and support.

Using these friendly and economical accounting systems, you do the majority of your bookkeeping as you write checks and record receipts on a daily basis. There is no need to understand accounting jargon like debits, credits or postings. Leave that to us!

As CPAs, we understand your internal and external financial reporting needs. Whether you are in need of quarterly or annual tax reports, interim financial statements for the bank, or a listing of bills to be paid, we can use your software program and prepare the reports you need. If you prefer to produce your reports in-house, we can set these software programs to produce the information you desire. We are certified QuickBooks Advisors and certified Best Software Accountants Network Advisors (Peachtree and MAS90).

General Ledger & Financial Statement Preparation

In order for small business owners to make quick, accurate decisions, they need timely financial information. We can assist a business in the establishment of an accounting and reporting process that will enable the owner to obtain up-to-date financial information. Using the information you provide to us relating to your company's items of cash receipts and expenditures and other non-cash activity (i.e. sales on account) we can regularly generate your company's income statement and balance sheet on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.

Cash Flow & Budgeting Analysis

A business can be profitable and still run into trouble due to cash flow issues. We can forecast and evaluate your company's financial condition, estimate financing requirements, and track cash-flow sources and uses.

Payroll Services

As a business grows, it must hire more employees, which can result in increased payroll administration. We can assist you in implementing the controls necessary to ensure a reliable, efficient, and effective payroll system. Our firm can also help you develop a payroll system and prepare all necessary payroll taxes in a timely manner.
