Landscaping Accounting Service

Chances are, you probably already outsource your accounting - to an annual tax accountant, that is. Outsourcing monthly accounting brings bookkeeping and tax filing together, but it also includes:

• Year-round tax strategy to minimize what you owe in taxes
• Monthly financial statements to guide you
• Monthly bank and credit card reconciliation 
• Monthly meetings with your accountant to get personalized advice
• Unlimited contact with your accountant at no extra cost
• Sales tax returns filed on time and accurately

Plus, the seasonality of the landscaping industry can be a huge issue. Whether you transition to some winter work or not, a monthly accountant can help you with planning ahead.

You operate in a hands-on industry. Once your business has enough activity that running payroll takes up time, energy, and effort that you can't prioritize over other aspects of running your landscaping business, it's time to hire a payroll service.

A good, reputable payroll service provider will, in an accurate and timely manner:

• Pay your employees
• Pay your payroll taxes
• Prepare your W-2s
• Handle all weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual compliance with the state and federal government

They can also handle all of the unique payroll challenges that your industry faces, including:

• Working with both employees and subcontractors
• Employing seasonal workers
• Tracking different pay rates and overtime
• Following specific labor regulations across many different work sites

Plus, if you've been facing those pesky IRS penalty notices, a payroll service will stop them.

No, this does not align with our business structure. Our monthly accounting fees include the cost to file annual taxes, and monthly accounting is made up of monthly bookkeeping, financial statements, and advice.

During your off season, you're likely not taking in much - if any - money. However, you still have bills to pay. This is especially true if you are paying off equipment or vehicle loans.

An accountant can help you monitor your finances year-round to make sure you have enough cash to cover yourself in your off season.

Monthly accounting is a step up from just bookkeeping and annual taxes. It offers much more value and peace of mind, but it also costs more than DIY-ing with bookkeeping software. That means very small or very new businesses might not get the right amount of value until they have more accounting activity.
