Responsive Service
We are here to help clients succeed. Small question or large reconciliation – we help you solve your accounting and tax challenges. We work year ‘round, not just during tax time, and our team is always available to return a client’s call. And when we do talk with you… we walk you through it, not just spit out the quick answer.
Our ongoing clients have what we call “Quarterly Review Contracts.” And when we say quarterly review, we mean one-to-one conversations with the business owner about current issues that affect their business. Depending on the time of year the consultation may be about future planning, year end taxes, changes in tax or employment laws, or any number of topics relevant to their business.
Business Organization and Coaching
With a combined 91 years of experience we are the trusted advisor to many business owners. We help owners determine the best organization for their new business (LLC, S-corp, C-corp, etc.). We help expanding businesses plan for larger accounts or more personnel. We help owners unclutter their offices, files and accounts for smoother operations. We teach owners how to be proactive and organized.

Advisors to the Experts – We Wrote Books on QuickBooks!
Karen Mitchell is a best selling author of 12 guides to bookkeeping and accounting for the A/E/C and professional service industries. Her in depth knowledge of QuickBooks is based not only on her financial and business background, but also built on a consulting partnership with Intuit.
In 2001-02 Online Accounting worked with Intuit, the company behind QuickBooks, to make QuickBooks better for the small business owner. This resulted in three Premier Editions: Contractor’s Edition, Professional Services Edition, and the Manufacturer and Wholesale Guide to QuickBooks.
These new software versions were followed by revised manuals and guides. Today the up-to-date guides help new businesses start off on the right foot and assist all business owners in applying good bookkeeping practices for efficient and accurate books.
Visit QuickBooks Manuals to learn more. Books can be purchased online through this site.
