BlueFire Accounting

Outsourced bookkeeping for Charlotte small businesses

BlueFire Accounting provides bookkeeping for small businesses in Charlotte, North Carolina. Its work is to keep each client's books up to date, so that owners can make informed decisions, spot opportunities and plan for growth. The firm describes its bookkeeping as professional and certified, and it offers a consultation for owners who want to talk through their needs.

Catch-up bookkeeping for owners who fell behind

The firm also catches up the books for owners who have slipped behind by months or years. It notes that about a quarter of business owners are behind on their books, and it presents catch-up work as a way to restore a clear view of the finances without starting from a blank page.

Payroll tax, direct deposit and payslips

Payroll work covers employee payroll tax filings, the electronic deposit of staff net pay and the printing of payslips. These tasks are often the most time-consuming for a small business, and handing them over frees the owner to focus on running the company.

Payables, receivables and cash flow

Accounts payable and accounts receivable are run and improved for efficiency. The firm sets up a receivables process designed to convert invoices into revenue quickly and to keep cash flow under control.

Budget variance, employee costs and pricing

Beyond the records, the firm tracks budget variance and the cost of each employee, reviews pricing structures and assesses the financial performance of past and current periods. Accurate books also help when a business applies for a loan, because lenders can make decisions about the business with more confidence.

Why small owners hand over the books

The firm says small business owners often struggle to find time for financial records, on-time tax preparation, invoicing and other accounting tasks. Its bookkeeping service takes those tasks on, so that tax season and planning are handled from records that are already current.
