Dear Friend,
It’s one thing to manage a business, it’s quite another to grow it.
If you’re reading this, you know what I’m talking about.
It seems like the books are being handled properly. It seems like payroll is (mostly?) under control. It seems like the IRS is okay with how we’re handling our taxes. It seems like the financial reporting is in place.
We’re flush … most of the time. But we’re certainly not growing. We’re not prospering.
What are we missing?
This is a common story that we hear when we first start talking to business owners. The boxes are checked, the people are in place … but the fact is, they’re not quite sure how to optimize the financials for performance and growth.
Our specialty is in reading between the lines of the systems, the softwares, and the financial statements to see the true financial story being told … even when the reports all “seem” okay (for now).
The fact is that the Federal Government would love to have more of your business’ hard-earned money in their accounts. Your employees probably don’t care about cost control as much as they should. Your sales team might need to focus their efforts in a new direction.
But you don’t have to hand more dollars over to the government than they require, just because you don’t know their rules as well as they do. You don’t have to live in a constant state of anxiety over the state of your books. The future of your business doesn’t have to be a question mark.
Let’s get a real-time reading on your business’s financial health. Answer a few questions below to get started.
Click the button above to take your first step, and we’ll be in touch soon to follow up about your specific needs.
And of course, feel free to poke around our site and discover why we’ve been called “The Most Trusted Bookkeeper in the Northern Virginia Area”.
Talk again soon,
Ann Lucas-Holmes

PPS — Already want to come in? I don’t blame you … many people are fed up with trying to manage their books and financials on their own. Our schedule is very full … but if you call us at (540) 479-1745 or Email Us, we’ll give you two options for coming in right away. We will NOT make dealing with a business advisor as painful as dealing with your books has already been!

If you'll forgive me, I'm going to get pretty geeky today. You probably didn't realize that there are actual pros and cons to expense reimbursement for employees, etc. or using a company cc. Oh my Northern Virginia readers, I'm going to take you down a little rabbit...
