In the early years, most small businesses are understandably focused on taxes, and we provide these traditional services through CPAs and CPA firms with whom we maintain close working relationships. These services include determining the right tax structure for your business, providing assistance with filing the necessary forms with taxing agencies, and preparation of the tax return itself. But then later on, many firms, and paticularly those in a growth mode, may find that their tax return alone (which is designed for a different purpose) is not telling the owner what he or she needs to know in order to manage their business, or what lenders need to know in order to finance the growth of their business.
The good news is that with QuickBooks®, you can accomplish both objectives simultaneously. We not only provide tax reporting and planning, but place an equal amount of emphasis on "financial reporting, " which is more critical to enabling your company to grow profitably, and without major disruptions to cash flow. And yes, it IS true, you can "have it both ways!"
J. D. Kern & Associates, Inc. uniquely combines its expertise in QuickBooks®, financial management, and financing business growth, with the core tax services needed by all small businesses. Basically, J. D. Kern & Associates, Inc. provides part-time controller services to small businesses who need assistance with their internal accounting, but who are not quite ready to hire a full-time controller, or may need more specialized areas of expertise they currently do not have "in-house."
