“Kate helped me completely transition my business structure from a sole proprietorship to an LLC/S corp as well as set up new accounting and payroll systems. She was incredibly patient in answering all my questions and making recommendations about what would be best for me and my business. I don't think I could have ever navigated this on my own! It can be hard to give up control of things I used to be responsible for. Kate gave me confidence that I was making the right moves. I appreciated how hands-on she was.”
~ ERIN EWART, CAREERS FOR SOCIAL IMPACT
"As a startup business, we of course had many questions. We turned to a QBO ProAdvisor to help with the financial accounting of the business, so we could concentrate on building the many other pieces. Kate lifted this weight and helped customize our structure to best suit our needs. She has been extremely active and accessible answering questions and providing specific solutions, in many cases going above and beyond expectations. We are now setup with Quickbooks online and thanks to Kate, feel a lot more secure going forward with our accounting and tax burdens.”
~ DAVE MARTIN, FORBIDDEN ESCAPE
"I am a new business owner and if it wasn’t for Kate and her company I would not be where I am today. Her accounting abilities along with her extra help in managing reports has been a blessing. I am very happy with choosing her company."
~ CRAIG MARGIANO, CALVARY REMODELING
At a minimum, you need a financial partner who knows their stuff. I’ve got the experience, degrees, and certifications. In addition, KIS has the structured workflows, procedures, and capacity to deliver consistently.
But, that’s not what would make me a good partner for you. It comes down to fit. That’s why we start with a virtual meeting and usually a project before we jump into monthly services.
There isn’t a “right” amount to spend, but I can provide context. Depending on your years in business, revenue, and needs, the cost is usually between 1-5% of revenue. If you are a start-up and have little revenue, it could be closer to 10%.
What you spend on financial services is an investment in your business. According to Xero, businesses that work with an accountant increase their net profit 23% faster than businesses that don’t. >>> Keep in mind, that’s after paying for their services!
Small businesses spend a higher percentage on financial services. Once a company has about $20-25 million in revenue, they usually have full-time accounting staff and the total expense is down to 1%.
All of my services include ongoing support and review notes - these are premium services that help businesses address issues before they become problems. Roughly 75% small business owners agree that they feel more successful working with a financial pro [source: Intuit] and having access to them to answer any questions is one of the most sought after services.
That’s the whole point, right?! We’ll do all the heavy lifting and will need only a couple of hours of your time each month. Most of it will be for our meeting. Other than that, it’s sending in your documents (which we’ll automate and set up routines for as much as possible), and asking questions. While we are getting started, we may need more of your time.
We’ve designed our services to require minimal input from you. You’ve got a business to run and that’s where you should be!
Nope. That’s really normal, actually. We’re used to tidying up books. It’s part of the getting-to-know each other process. If you have books, we’ll start with an Initial Review so we know exactly what you need. If you don’t have books, we’ll set them up.
If it deals with business numbers or taxes, we can probably help. we offer everything just listed, plus more. If you need something not mentioned, just ask. Even if we can’t help, we’ll point you to someone who can.
We’ve been doing this long enough to know that you’ll get the best results by working together throughout the year. We need to be in the loop and have up-to-date, accurate information. A monthly services agreement also means you can budget for our services and won’t get any surprise bills.
Email, please! We’ll get back to you within one business day. If you need help right away, put URGENT in the subject line.
