BJ Financial Support Services LLC,

In Davenport, Florida, BJ Financial Support Services LLC provides bookkeeping, tax preparation and payroll work for individuals and small firms, with most clients in central Florida. The firm's stated aim is to keep clients' financial records accurate, so that they know what is owed to them, what they owe, where their income comes from and which costly mistakes to avoid.

Bookkeeping and financial statements

The firm records and categorizes transactions, manages accounts payable and receivable, reconciles bank accounts and keeps the general ledger up to date. From those records it prepares the income statement, the balance sheet and the cash flow statement, along with customized reports for management and tracking of key performance indicators. The firm says that these statements show a business where it stands financially, so that owners can make decisions on the basis of the figures.

Tax returns for individuals, businesses and nonprofits

Personal and business tax returns are prepared either virtually or in person. The firm also plans taxes to make use of deductions and credits and to stay within tax rules and deadlines, and it completes IRS forms such as Form 990 for nonprofits and Form 1120 for corporations. The firm's view is that an accountant can reduce filing errors and help a client avoid unnecessary audits, while keeping up with changing tax codes.

Payroll processing and payroll tax compliance

The firm processes employee pay, calculates deductions, produces pay stubs and handles the payroll taxes that an employer must file and pay. Its position is that outsourcing payroll saves a business time, reduces errors and leaves owners free to focus on the core of their operations.

Certified mobile notary for loan and estate papers

The firm is a certified mobile notary serving central Florida, and it also offers remote notarization online. It witnesses, certifies, authenticates and notarizes documents under the Notary Signing Agent Code of Conduct, following the state and federal rules that govern each document. Most of its notary work is on home loan papers, including refinancing, second mortgages, home equity lines, reverse mortgages and buyer and seller packages, and it also notarizes affidavits, letters, wills, attestations and estate planning documents.

Financial coaching and a membership group

Coaching and consulting cover budgeting, forecasting and financial analysis, and the firm's experts give recommendations intended to support strategic financial decisions. A membership group sends monthly information on growing finances, and a downloadable journal helps clients manage their own money.
