Common questions
Straight answers to what clients usually ask about this service.
Do you sign off the accounts?
Our role is to prepare the accounts and working papers, structured for your CPA or accountant to review and sign off. If you need a different arrangement, tell us and we will confirm what we can provide.
How is this different from bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping keeps records current through the year. Accounts preparation is the year-end step: adjustments, schedules and statements built on those records.
Can you work with my CPA directly?
Yes. We can share files, answer their queries and adapt our layout to what they prefer.
