Questions people ask first
What does the first meeting cost?
Nothing. It’s an hour of conversation so we both know whether we should work together.
Can you take over mid-year?
Yes. We collect what exists from your previous accountant or your own records, and any catch-up work is quoted separately before we begin.
Do you work with businesses outside Monroe County?
Most clients are in Monroe County, but the work is done online and we have clients across New York State.
Which software do you use?
QuickBooks Online and Xero. We’ll recommend one if you have neither.
Do you have a secure portal for documents?
Yes. Each client gets a login with the quote, and anything you upload goes straight to your partner. You can also bring paper to the drop box by the office door.
Are you open after April 15?
All year, weekdays from 9 to 5. Evening appointments are by arrangement from January to April.
