LET’S TALK ACCOUNTING
Business Accounting
As a business owner, you have more important things to do than to keep your own books. We take care of your books for you, so you can get back to the job of running your business and generating profits. We can process accounts payable, accounts receivable, and payroll. We can reconcile your bank accounts and generate an income statement and balance sheet, clean up your general ledger and provide consultation on your financial results. These tasks form the solid foundation of your small business accounting system.
1Source can provide a team of accounting professionals who integrate within the organization to service the accounting function. This suite of services includes a personally assigned senior accountant to manage the day-to-day bookkeeping and entry of transactions into the accounting system, while CFO duties and tax management services are fulfilled by our highly-skilled CPA’s.
1Source can also provide clients with interim accounting services to fill-in during periods of transition resulting from employee turnover at any level. We can also provide assistance with hiring and training new accounting staff.
Additionally, 1Source can offer oversight of special projects that may arise, such as the implementation of new accounting software or the development of accounting policies.

- Identify sources of start-up capital and backup sources if needed.
- Evaluate and quantify your borrowing power so you know how much money you can get your hands on if needed.
- Select a business structure that best fits your needs by evaluating tax advantages, legal exposure, ease of operation, and portability should you need to relocate.
