STANDARD SERVICES
For the financial aspect of your business, we will provide prompt and customized service:
- cash flow analysis - Do you know where your money is coming from? Do you know where your money is going? Quarterly reveiw of your cash flow position will eliminate any cash "fire drills."
- budget preparation - An annual budget or a 1 to 3 year budget that is reviewed and revised periodically can provide the necessary road map for you and your business to reach your personal and financial goals.
- bookkeeping & write-up - waiting to gather all of your sales and expense receipts at tax time is not only very stressful, but can be very costly to you at a premium hourly rate with your tax man with too much of your own time spent on "non-revenue-generating" tasks. You might even run into overtime wages for your staff who have to work in a frenzy to pull it all together. Key tax points or deductions can be missed or forgotten when filing in such a whirlwind of activity.
- business formation and incorporation - setting up your business as a "sole propriotership", "partnership" or "corporation" can distract your attention from running your business and servicing your customers. It takes around 10 to 20 hours for a professional to do it for you. We can set up your business with the state of Utah as well as with the IRS.
- payroll processing - preparing the payroll and the necessary tax forms can be a time consuming and costly process. If they are not done correctly you can incur interest charges and penalties.
- income tax preparation - We are current on all of the tax rules and regulations that impact small businesses so you don't have to stay abreast of the constantly changing tax laws.
- financial statement preparation and analysis - giving you the close personal attention that you deserve, we will meet with you on a quarterly basis to provide timely financial statements with analysis as well as suggestions on how to maximize and take advantage of opportunities and minimlize challenges in the marketplace before they compound. Timing is everything! Often business owners make the mistake of doing this analysis at year-end missing the moment for making the appropriate business decisions. After years of experience in auditing and analyzing, DF&A can offer what many CPAs can't.
- collecting on past due accounts for you - everyone has slow paying accounts. Not only are they a drain on your cash flow but they are a drain on your time. DF&A can work your past due accounts to improve your cash flow and suggest credit policy changes to minimize the amount of bad debts.
- negotiating on your behalf with lenders and suppliers - The terms of your lines of credit with your key suppliers and bankers will impact your cash flow substantially. Since DF&A becomes intimately aware of your business strengths and weaknesses, we can suggest points to improve your business' current stability and opportunity for future growth. Next time you find yourself in discussions with tough negotiators, give us a call! Help is on your side. DF&A has been on both sides of these critical situations and will stand with you in moments like these.
