When clients start with us, they often question the amount of information that we request. “My old bookkeeper didn’t ask for all this” is a statement we hear often. Managers want to hand off their accounting and let it happen in its own vacuum. Unfortunately, this isn’t quite how accounting functions. The accountant or bookkeeper can’t effectively do their job and the manager has inaccurate financial data to make business decisions, provide to potential investors, or financial institutions for l

Privileges to use certain applications or open certain files usually are provided to workers based on their department, role and level of authority. Over their tenure, employees might accumulate various privileges they no longer need. For example, someone who once worked in accounting might retain the ability to make journal entries even after transferring to the legal department.

If you were to ask most Californians if they knew what the IRS does, most of them would know exactly what you were talking about.

Now that fall is officially here, it’s a good time to start taking steps that may lower your tax bill for this year and next. One of the first planning steps is to ascertain whether you’ll take the standard deduction or itemize deductions for 2022. Many taxpayers won’t itemize because of the high 2022 standard deduction amounts ($25,900 for joint filers, $12,950 for singles and married couples filing separately and $19,400 for heads of household).

GAAP was created to be a standard "rule book" for organizations to follow, and was intended to be used by all businesses -- small and large, private and public.

Many certified public accountants (CPAs), enrolled agents and other tax preparers and professionals that run accounting and tax preparation firms are constantly looking for new advisory avenues to service clients.

When new technologies emerge, it can take time for the general public to learn how they work. Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, first appeared in 2014, yet many people are still confused about what they are and how to buy and store them. This gives criminals who understand the technology an advantage. In addition to money laundering, tax evasion and terrorist funding, NFTs are being used to commit fraud and steal from unsuspecting asset buyers.
