Do you give a free first visit?
No. Free advice is pretty much worth what you pay for it…and we feel our advice is valuable. We do however, validate parking.
Do you charge for phone calls and emails?
Yup. All we have to sell is our time and expertise and, actually, phone calls and emails are the most efficient (read that cheapest) way for us to help you.
I looked at your billing information. Wow, your billing rates seem really high.
No, not really. We all have college accounting degrees, CPAs, annual continuing education, experience, expertise and the latest software and technology. We are worth our billing rates.
Do you have evening appointments?
No. Sometimes Saturdays during tax season, though, but only under duress. Monna lives in Seattle so meeting downtown during the workday is always an option.
Do you perform audits?
No. We do reviews and compilations for our favorite clients, though.
I just want some help with my QuickBooks. Will you do that?
Sure. We do that a lot.
Is there any other software you could help me with?
Mmm….Peachtree….Timeslips….
Have you used the online version of QuickBooks?
Yes. In a lot of cases, there can be some real benefits.
How do you feel about technology?
We are pro. Really.
Do you prepare payroll reports and monthly excise reports?
Our first choice is to teach our clients to prepare their own reports. In the long run, it is often less expensive for them and almost always allows them better understanding and control of their business. We are available for emergencies or temporary help. We are always available to answer questions or look over your shoulder before the reports are filed. If our first choice is not YOUR first choice, then we will help find a solution that works for you.
