Benefits of Hiring a Full-Service Accounting Firm

Bookkeeping and accounting are necessary tasks for every business, big and small. Depending upon your specific needs, your company size, the number of monthly transactions, and payroll operations, your accounting needs will vary. Also, based on your business’ accounting systems, policies, and reporting procedures, your financial aspects shape together to form the financial arm of your company’s assets. Long Island Tax and Planning is ready to support your every financial need, every step of the way, throughout your business ownership record.

Most businesses are heavily concerned with compliance, – bookkeeping, accounting, recording, and transaction tracking – bill paying, payment calculating, tax managing, and other various expenses depending on your specific industry. Financial planning becomes the key to your diversity level, which you can spread across your investments, minimizing taxes and other regulatory fees. Business success and wealth management become critical aspects to securing your financial future.

For each of these services, you may find yourself or your HR employees approaching different experts – financial planners, business consultants, wealth advisors, and retirement planning counselors, working with each one of them independently, beyond the scope of your regular accountant. It is crucial to maintain concise records, which can become complicated when you hire multiple companies to help you manage your money. That is why it is a smarter move to hire a full-service accounting firm, especially one who is locally trained in the tax and financial regulation codes of New York State.

Why Choose A Full-Service Accounting Firm?

A full-service accounting firm offers a comprehensive suite of services that covers various aspects of your business, backed by combined years of expertise and full domain knowledge between all employees in the company. Let’s look at the critical areas of tax-efficient investment management and financial planning. This is where your own professional CPA firm provides you with a complete 360-degree management and planning solution, leaving you free to focus on your collective business targets. According to AICPA, “The American Institute of CPAs’ State Regulation and Legislation Team tracked over 400 bills affecting the CPA profession at the state-level in 2018.” This means greater changes, and new rules and regulations, which will already be understood by professionals at full-service accounting firms are on the way.
