Save Time and Money Performing Your Accounting
Timely, relevant, and reliable financial information helps business owners make good business decisions and ensures you don't overpay federal and state income, payroll, and sales taxes.

In a small business environment, timely, relevant, and reliable financial information should be produced by a qualified full charge bookkeeper under the oversight of a qualified accountant (individual with an accounting degree). Bookkeepers record transactions and produce financial documents and reports, whereas accountants analyze these reports to inform owners of the financial condition and business performance of the business.

There are three ways a small business owner gets something done in his or her business: do it himself, hire an employee or outsource. An effective business owner reserves specific tasks that only he should do for himself, whereas he delegates other tasks to employees or outsourced professionals. Generally speaking, owners save time and money by hiring employees to accomplish long-term, frequent tasks and outsourcing short-term, less frequent tasks.

To save money and receive timely, relevant, and reliable financial information, we recommend you hire a qualified bookkeeper to record your daily transactions and produce your financial documents and reports as opposed to an accountant. A qualified bookkeeper doesn't need an education to be qualified, but does need skills and experience developed under the supervision of a qualified bookkeeper or accountant.

The following is the Mountain West's hourly rate for full charge bookkeepers and accountants.
