Accounting Services FAQs
What is the difference between a CPA and an accountant?
All CPAs are accountants, but not all accountants are CPAs. All accountants monitor personal or business finances, keep records, and can issue financial statements.
The certified public accountant title shows that the accountant has sufficient knowledge, education, and experience and that they have passed their Uniform CPA Examination. CPAs are regulated by the state and must complete continued education to keep current with trends and updates.
Should I hire an accountant?
Many business owners find themselves faced with the choice of whether or not they should work with a business tax accountant. Some choose to hire an accountant on retainer, while other business owners employ an in-house accountant. However, the choice is dependent on your business’s needs and resources.
If you don’t have the resources to hire a full-time accountant, you can opt to outsource accounting services short-term or hire a certified public accountant during tax season. A local CPA or business tax accountant can even help you through important decisions such as applying for loans.
How can outsourced accounting with a Certified Public Accountant help my business?
If you own a business, an outsourced business tax accountant can reduce costs and provide you with similar benefits to a full-time employee. A CPA can help during tax season, they can organize your books, and/or can provide consultations before a loan agreement.
If you’re acquiring a business, a local CPA can help you analyze its financial records, verify assets, and perform other time-consuming due diligence tasks. If you’re selling your business, a contracted accountant can give you estimates of the fair market value of your business, prepare your financial statements, and help with business reporting.
What accounting duties can be outsourced to a CPA?
Whether you need help with personal, business, or non-profit, a CPA can help you with tax preparation and planning, tax filing, general ledger assistance, financial statement preparation, and financial analysis.
Are accounting services taxable in North Carolina?
Some professional services in North Carolina are subject to sales tax. Outsourced accounting services are not subject to sales tax in NC. Contact our CPAs in the Raleigh-Durham area to learn more about taxes paid on accounting services in North Carolina.
What’s the difference between accounting services and bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping and accounting are both considered vital functions when it comes to improving the health and financial standing of your business. However, they each serve different functions. Both services work to improve the financial health of the business, but the difference is that accounting services are used to analyze data while bookkeeping is used to record the data.
