By service
Accounting firms for client accounting services
Client accounting services (CAS) is outsourced accounting: a firm keeps your books, closes the month, reconciles accounts, runs payables or payroll, and can act as your controller or fractional CFO. It replaces or supports an in-house accounting team, rather than checking its work.
Who needs it
Growing businesses without a full finance team, owners who want monthly financials they can rely on, and companies preparing for their first audit or a raise.
What to ask a firm
- Which accounting software do you work in, and do we keep ownership of our books and login?
- How many days after month-end will we get financial statements?
- Who on your team is our day-to-day contact, and who reviews their work?
- If you also audit us, how do you keep the two engagements independent? (Independence rules can prevent the same firm from doing both.)
