AATC

AATC is an accounting practice set up in 2008 to help people deal with day-to-day money matters and to support owners who are starting or growing a business. Its work spans the books, the payroll and the annual tax paperwork, with a strong focus on small firms that have fallen behind on record-keeping.

What AATC offers

• Audits, reviews and compilations — assurance work on a client's financial statements, plus advice on reading them and using them to plan.
• Bookkeeping and catch-up work — bringing twelve months of neglected records up to date, then setting up a simple routine to keep them in order.
• Tax returns — business tax forms alongside the owner's personal income tax return.
• Payroll processing — printed pay cheques, IRS and state tax reporting, electronic tax deposits, W-2, W-3 and 1099 forms, leave accrual reports and new-hire filings.
• Software set-up and training — installing and configuring accounting packages such as QuickBooks and Peachtree, and teaching staff to use them.
• Remote bookkeeping sessions — scheduled visits in which the team enters a client's records into its accounting system.

Who it works with

The practice is aimed at small business owners who want to hand over accounting, payroll and tax filing, as well as individuals looking for help with personal finances.
