IFG Corporate Accounting Services LLC

IFG Corporate Accounting Services works mainly with start-ups and small businesses, offering accounting, financial management and business consultation. The firm says it was founded in 2011 to help small companies and entrepreneurs reach their financial objectives, and it aims to deliver that work in a professional, courteous and timely manner.

Part-time CFO support for owners

The CFO service gives owners a financial manager who works alongside them. The company lists the benefits as a clearer understanding of the financial side of a business, fewer surprises, and better decisions drawn from accurate numbers. It also describes the role as a sounding board for difficult calls and for clarifying business plans. Work includes setting strong financial controls to reduce employee theft, training and managing accounting staff, preparing and monitoring budgets, analyzing profitability by product or service line, writing procedure manuals and designing collection policies.

Tax planning and returns for people and companies

By keeping up with new tax law, the firm says it can spot planning opportunities that reduce both current and future liabilities. Its tax work runs from planning to return preparation, for individuals and for businesses organized as corporations, partnerships or LLCs, and it also covers estates, trusts and gift matters. Sales tax and payroll tax work sit alongside these, and the firm says it provides the tax expertise its clients need throughout the year.

Payroll run from a secure processing center

The payroll service runs from what the company calls a full-service, fully secure processing center. Its offer covers direct deposit, electronic tax filing, the printing and filing of year-end tax forms (W-2 and 1099), periodic and yearly reports, online timekeeping and custom reports on request. The firm says it aims to handle payroll efficiently and record it properly, so a client's pay cycle runs without extra strain on its own staff.

Bookkeeping, reconciliations and QuickBooks setup

Day-to-day accounting covers accounts payable and receivable, invoicing and billing, reconciliation of bank and credit card accounts, job costing, petty cash records, and budgeting, forecasting and cash projections. Financial reports can be prepared on a cash or accrual basis. The team includes QuickBooks specialists who set up the software, including the chart of accounts, to suit each business.

Industries served and the firm's principles

The company lists marketing, advertising and brand building, and real estate and property management among the industries it serves. It presents its guiding principles as professionalism, responsiveness and quality, and says every client is served by the expertise of the whole firm rather than by a single individual.
