Fresno Monthly Accounting Services

Q: How does your monthly close process work?

We begin with a one-time Kickoff & Cleanup to align your Chart of Accounts and connect all accounts. Each month, we reconcile bank, credit card, and key balance sheet accounts, tag exceptions, resolve discrepancies, produce financial reports, and conduct a CPA-level tax strategy check-in.

Q: Do you include payroll, AP, or AR processing?

We coordinate with your payroll, AP, and AR systems, but we do not execute payroll runs, bill pay, or collections. We can refer trusted specialists if needed.

Q: Can you start mid-year or with messy books?

Yes. We perform a full cleanup and alignment of beginning balances so prior periods reconcile correctly, then move you into the standard monthly cadence.

Q: How do tax strategy check-ins work?

A CPA reviews your activity each month or quarter to identify timing opportunities, quarterly estimate needs, and year-end planning strategies. These check-ins are concise, documented, and focused on tax efficiency.

Q: Will you work with our existing tax preparer?

Yes. We can collaborate with your external CPA or handle tax preparation in-house if you prefer a fully integrated team.
