Business Services

Barber & Associates offers a full and comprehensive offering of accounting services for corporations, partnerships and sole proprietorships that include:

General Accounting and Bookkeeping Services

When it comes to finances and taxes, being organized is one of the most important things businesses can do to help themselves. That’s why Barber & Associates offer a full suite of record keeping, account reconciliations, income & expense tracking, budgeting & forecasting and custom report generation for its clients. Income statements, balance sheets, general ledger and cash flow are just some of the critical reports that our clients need to make sound business decisions. Monthly, quarterly and ad hoc management documents also help underline the current state of the business, allowing for broader analysis going forward.

Payroll

Much like the broader tax code, payroll rules can be a time-consuming odyssey for business owners. Having Barber & Associates maintain your payroll obligations can save time on or even eliminate such things as data entry, payroll system maintenance and reporting. This will let you focus more on what you should be doing: running your business in an efficient manner that doesn’t include having to worry about payroll.

Strategic Business Planning

Executing a business plan requires a lot of things to fall into their proper place. Whether it is starting a new venture, introducing an additional product, buying a business or simply optimizing your cash needs, Barber & Associates will help you clarify the direction your company is headed and provide the needed advice to maximize your chances of success.

Succession Planning

One of the greatest dangers facing a family business is what is going to happen as it gets passed down to the next generation. Which family member is going to run which part of it? Will the business look substantially the same or will it change in a marked manner? Will the current owner be able to extract enough money as he/she passes it on? Will it be passed on in a way that is fair to all involved? These are just some of the questions that Barber & Associates can help with as a trusted advisor.

Tax Planning & Preparation

Effective planning is the key to minimizing tax liability. Making sense of the tax law, picking the right structure and thorough analysis of your company allows Barber & Associates to help maximize your profitability and achieve your financial goals. Comprehensive tax planning and full tax return preparation are the hallmarks of our service to clients.

Implementation / Monitoring of Internal Controls

There are times when you may need a trained outside professional to evaluate your company’s operations to determine if the appropriate controls are in place. Ensuring proper handling of resources and protecting your business against theft are crucial aspects of managing a business. Barber & Associates assesses your internal controls to determine the efficiency and effectiveness of your operating procedures. We can then make recommendations that help your company become stronger and more secure, leading to more peace of mind.

Audit Representation

Professional representation can be vital during an audit, and Barber & Associates’ experience with tax authorities enables us to guide clients in their dealings with federal, state and local agencies.
