WHY YOUR ACCOUNTANT IS THE SECRET TO BUSINESS SUCCESS
Good accounting and good people are the backbone of any successful business. Simplicity Consulting can help you manage both. Our accounting, payroll, human resource management, and administrative services help you manage one of your most important business assets – your money. To see why good accounting services help your business thrive, read on.
Do You Have Good Accounting Practices in Place?
Have you struggled with gathering business records for taxes or inventory? Have you gotten to the end of the month and not had resources for the next week’s payroll or accounts payable? Messy, inaccurate bookkeeping leads to a lack of necessary documentation, errors in financial statements, and costly fines and penalties for missed tax deadlines or payroll compliance issues.

ONLINE PAYROLL SERVICES MAKE YOUR PAYROLL EASIER
Integration with Your Accounting Software
Most online payroll services integrate directly into your accounting software and quickly import general ledger information. Payroll is easier to process, and so is everything that happens after payroll. No more double entry of payroll data into accounting. Payroll gets quickly matched to your general ledger accounts, and you get instant access to efficient audit reports.
FIVE REASONS TO CONSIDER MOVING YOUR BUSINESS INTO THE CLOUD

Moving to the cloud means that technology functions such as large applications, data, software and more can be housed remotely and accessed through an Internet connection. The top five benefits of using cloud-based services are worth considering, regardless of your company’s size: cost-savings, mobile access, scalability, disaster protection, and security.
UNDERSTANDING PAYROLL TAXES

Payroll Tax
Calculating payroll taxes properly and paying them on time is important to avoid fines and penalties. Every business owner with employees must withhold payroll taxes from paychecks and pay federal, state, and local taxes. Payroll tax withholding obligations include FICA (Medicare and Social Security), federal, state, local income taxes, FUTA (Federal Unemployment Tax Act), and in some states, employers must also withhold disability insurance taxes.
OUTSOURCING HR WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Anyone in business knows what it’s like to juggle the demands of business operations and human resource management. Hiring, developing, managing, and engaging the employees that come to work every day to take care of your customers, sell your products, and provide your services takes a lot of time, attention, and money. Someone has to oversee employee payroll and tax filing, administer employee benefits, manage legal compliance, maintain employee files and records, and provide training and development.
As your business grows, HR management activities can become too complex to maintain in-house cost effectively. If you've been trying to manage HR yourself or delegating it to managers and administrative staff then outsourcing HR can significantly change your life.

3 REASONS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER USING AN ACCOUNTANT

More Time and Money
Busy entrepreneurs and business owners gain more time when using an accounting firm. They don’t have to dedicate employees to bookkeeping tasks or worry about learning accounting themselves. Outsourcing accounting to a company that specializes in accounting and finance provides a higher level of expertise and security than in-house bookkeeping. Outsourced accounting saves money as well because it eliminates dedicating a salary to accounting activities and lets small business owners pay for only the accounting services they need provided by accounting experts.
