Accounting Solutions
Taking The Burden Off of Your Shoulders.
Accounting and financial systems should accomplish more than just compliance with tax and reporting regulations. Good systems also enable business owners to maximize the use of their assets and make informed decisions to help accomplish long-term goals. Whether you are looking for someone to help you implement a full financial plan, or just assist in a specific area, Summit consultants are available to provide the resources and guidance that you need.
CFO Services
Having a knowledgeable financial professional overseeing your organization’s cash flow and financial health is invaluable, but many businesses feel like they cannot afford such a luxury. Summit offers outsourced solutions at affordable rates.
Fraud Prevention
Fraud is a concern for businesses and nonprofits of all sizes. Establishing processes to prevent fraud from happening, and detecting and addressing fraud when it does, can help save your organization money and stress.
Financial Compliance
The cost of failing to comply with financial and tax regulations can be high, so it is far better to make the necessary investments on the front end to prevent the noncompliance from happening in the first place. Summit can help you put the right processes in place.
Tax Planning & Prep
Summit can help your business forecast and plan for its tax liability, as well as handle the filing for any type of business, including sole proprietorships, partnerships, C Corporations, S Corporations, and Limited Liability Companies.
Quickbooks Training
QuickBooks is the most popular accounting software on the market today, and when used effectively, it can be a powerful resource for your business. Summit’s Certified QuickBooks Advisors can help train your staff to make the most of it.
Budgeting and Cash Flow
Running out of money is a common fear for businesses, and even profitable businesses can experience cash shortages. Summit can help you to forecast future cash flow and budget accordingly to keep your business solvent.
Valuations
Whether you are looking to sell your business, buy a new one, or just plan for the future, knowing what a business is worth is critical to effective planning. Summit offers powerful software with practical experience to produce accurate valuations.
Financial Analysis
Accounting is about communication, but many business leaders don’t feel that their financial statements help them understand how their business is doing. Summit can help bridge the gap and assist in making informed decisions.
