How Small Businesses
Accounting Works with You
The
Accounting and Bookkeeping Answer for San Diego Small Businesses and
Construction Contractors
I understand that every business, and the needs
of every business owner, is different. Everything I do focuses
on your particular needs and on helping you save time and
money, while adhering to very strict professional standards and
guidelines.
Even though Small Businesses Accounting is not a Big Five accounting firm,
I maintain tight security and confidentiality,
so that the only person who sees your information is YOU. All records
are kept completely secured.
Integrity has its own rewards
and is the foundation of a company’s reputation. I built my
business on the highest ethical standards and values.
Dependability is what my clients
say they can count on from me. You are NOT just another number.
You are a part of my business. Your email and phone calls are returned
promptly (24 hr max).

I specialize in Construction
– Prior to starting my own business, I worked primarily in
the new-construction Industry. I thoroughly understand terminology
that might be gibberish to other Accounting Integrators. Things
like percentage of completion, annual 1099s, Lien releases, preliminary
notices, Stop Notices, Manage Fund Control, Construction Loan Draws,
Job Costings etc., are the “extras” I provide for Contractors
(General or Sub), as well as Developers.
Accounting Integrator/Specialist
– The important thing to remember when working with me is
that I’m not just a Bookkeeper. I have 20 years of experience
working with small to multi-million dollar businesses. I have an
Accounting degree, but not the certification of a CPA. That means
I have the tax knowledge of how your transactions would affect your
year-end income tax filing. The clients who understand this and
make use of my ability to provide clear advice, solve problems and
develop strategies are those who are most satisfied with my services.
The Chart below shows the differences between a Bookkeeper, an Accounting
Integrator/Specialist (me), and a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).
Review this chart to determine if we’re a good fit for each
other.

As a certified QuickBooks Pro Advisor,
I have used QuickBooks software over ten years. I save you endless
days and headaches trying to figure out how QuickBooks works and
how to produce accurate Financial Statements.
I also specialize in turning “Chaos
into presentable Financial Statements” - Your CPA
would be glad to work with me, as few accountants have the patience
to do the “clean up” work I’ve done on numerous
occasions. Your boxes of bank statements/receipts & other records
can be picked up and turned into financial statements for your tax
preparer/CPA.

I met Lin at a business fair
in Rancho Bernardo. What a lucky discovery. She took the pain
out of my business accounting chores as promised. I recommend
her to anyone who seeks a pleasant, honest, diligent, and efficient
accounting service. |
