Abacus Accounting Center, LLC

Guides and routine accounting for owners who want to focus on the business

Abacus Accounting Center is an accounting practice serving the Denver, Colorado area. The practice says it takes routine finance work off the hands of business owners, so they can concentrate on running their companies. Work ranges from everyday bookkeeping and payroll to tax returns, and on to planning and advice for larger decisions, and it describes its approach as personal, because no two clients are the same.

Personal tax strategy and preparation

Tax work covers the preparation of returns for businesses and individuals, together with a personal tax strategy built for each client. The practice presents tax planning as something that depends on a client's own circumstances, and it says the aim is to help clients keep more of the money they earn.

Bookkeeping and payroll handled for the owner

Bookkeeping and payroll are presented as the daily processing that owners would otherwise have to do themselves. The practice says that handing these tasks over lets an owner focus on the business while the accounts are kept in order.

Analysis for sounder business decisions

Advice goes beyond the numbers. The practice describes deep analysis and strategic guidance intended to help owners make sound, well-informed business decisions, and it says its work is meant to show what a set of figures means for the next step.

Guides for small business owners

The practice also publishes e-books and articles on tax and small business topics. Its guides cover reviewing how a business is run and keeping it up to date, cyber security for a small firm, building a culture that keeps staff, improving a business during slow seasons, automation and productivity, the IRS Form 1099, building an emergency fund, marketing across several channels, the risks of doing accounting yourself, budgeting, key performance indicators, avoiding an IRS audit, recovering from a cash flow shortfall, saving for college late, and retirement planning at any age.

Clients in service, property and retail trades

Clients include service firms, property firms, restaurants, bars and retailers. The practice notes that owners in retail have little time left for their accounts, and that accounting should not take more of it than it has to.
