Accounting By Rachel

A Fargo practice runs bookkeeping, payroll and tax work for owners who would rather not do it themselves. The owner has close to three decades of accounting experience, and the firm serves small businesses and individuals in Fargo, West Fargo, Kindred and Moorhead, Minnesota.

Bookkeeping set up around each business

The firm helps set up accounting software such as QuickBooks so that it fits the way the business works. Throughout the year it can keep the books balanced on a monthly or quarterly basis, or take on the whole job. Services include financial statement preparation, account reconciliations, the general ledger, receivables, payables and invoicing.

Payroll on the client's schedule

Payroll is prepared on a biweekly, semi-monthly or monthly schedule. The work includes deductions, taxes and reports, which the firm says are completed on time and correctly, so the owner is spared the hours that payroll would otherwise take.

Tax work that starts early

Business owners are encouraged to treat tax preparation as a year-round task. It begins with a tax strategy plan and continues with good record keeping and an understanding of the tax laws. The firm prepares individual income tax returns as well as corporate and partnership returns. At the first meeting, it discusses which services a client wants and how involved the client wishes to be in the process.

Serving Fargo and nearby towns

The firm serves small businesses across many industries and individuals alike. Its work covers Fargo, West Fargo, Kindred and Moorhead, and the firm says filing income taxes does not have to be an unpleasant experience. Prospective clients can call for an appointment. The firm says it is ready to take on the bookkeeping, payroll or tax work an owner wants to hand over, whether the business is just starting or already established.
