Eaton Accounting Associates
Bookkeeping and Accounting Service
About Me
Bachelor's degree in accounting and finance from the University of Southern Maine.
Experience working in the offices of CPA's preparing business and personal income tax returns, and performing bookkeeping for clients in various industries.
I perform Bookkeeping and accounting services for small businesses and sole proprietors in any field.
Using Quickbooks Desktop and/or Quickbooks Online, recording transactions, reconciling and adjusting accounts, to provide business owners with financial statements and other reports, for their use to see their income and expenses, their financial position, and keep track of their business profits, losses and financing position, and for their income tax preparation.
*At the present time, I do not prepare personal or corporate income tax returns, so I would refer doing your tax returns to your self personally, your CPA, EA or other outside help.
Bookkeeping and Accounting Services
Bookkeeping Services include:
Data entry and Journal entries to record your business activity from your bank statements, additional documents, and cash receipts.
Bank account reconciliations and adjusting entries
Monthly Financial Statements
Income statement and Balance sheet
Recording and reconciling A/R, A/P and Payroll as additional services
A/R and A/P aging reports
Setting up your company in Quickbooks if you are just starting out or haven't compiled your finances before
and also general bookkeeping clean-ups if your bookkeeping has been messy for a period of time
Financial statements are prepared, with reconciled bank account statements, General Ledger detail and any other supporting documents ready to be handed off to your tax preparer at the end of the year.
An independent bookkeeping service is ideal for small to medium size businesses, partnerships, and sole proprietorships in any field.
Providing clients with accurate and organized financial accounting records each month enables them to analyze their income and expenses, provides a current summary of assets and liabilities, and prepares them to file their income taxes at the end of the year or to hand them off to a CPA to prepare their income tax returns.
Monthly Bookkeeping and accounting services are a valuable part of running your business and knowing where it stands financially.
Clients have accurate and up to date financial records for their business.
Clients have more free time to work on their business instead of their bookkeeping themselves, saving them time and money.
Specialized knowledge, experience and research to record business transactions in the correct accounts, to know what can and can not be deducted, accounting for transactions correctly depending on the business situation.
Completed bookkeeping work can be handed off to a CPA or EA at the end of the year for income tax preparation.
*Rather than using a CPA firm for your bookkeeping work, you might want to consider a bookkeeping company itself may be a better option, and is generally more cost effective, since a CPA firm charges higher hourly rates because their main business is income tax preparation and financial audits, and has several layers of staff review for each bookkeeping project, increasing the cost.
