Accounting & Business Consulting

Whether your company is a startup or one that's been around for decades, a solid financial management system is a key component of success. We are aware of challenges companies face when financial management systems go awry or when a company outgrows its financial system. Your financial management system is your company's foundation: it's the way you bill customers, the way you handle cash flow, and the way you prepare for your company's future. You want to make sure your financial foundation is solid and we can help you achieve and maintain that.

We assist companies in creating and improving upon their financial management systems as a way to help ensure efficiency and longevity in the organization. 

Confidence in a financial management system is paramount in today's environment. Knowing this, we offer a number of consulting services to our clients to provide stakeholders, whether they are family members, stockholders, employees, or yourself, with the utmost confidence in the organization.

A strong financial management system is dependent on a number of components. Some of those components that we assist clients with include:

• Accounting system implementation
• General ledger maintenance services
• Forecasting/Budgeting
• Compilation/Review of financial statements
• Tax planning
• Strategic planning
• Business startup
• Inventory control
• Pricing strategies
• Feasibility studies

In addition, we also provide tax return and financial statement preparation to ensure proper reporting of financial information. Mistakes in these areas can be costly to businesses; we want to make sure errors do not occur that will undermine the credibility of the financial system.

Hiring a CPA to perform these services not only gives you additional confidence that the work has been performed according to accounting standards, but it also frees up your most valuable asset, your time, to perform the functions necessary to grow your business.

Francis & Company makes it a top priority to understand your business and the management team so that we can provide you with services that align with your company's mission and its goals.
