FAQ
Quick answers
Do you replace our CPA?
No. We keep the books and reporting current. Your CPA prepares and signs your returns.
Can you catch up books that are behind?
Yes. A catch-up project gets you current. A monthly retainer keeps you there.
What are distributor billbacks?
Charges a distributor passes back for programs, discounts or allowances. Each should match an agreement you approved.
