In its published FAQ, the firm addresses topics such as the cost difference between a part-time bookkeeper, a generalist CPA, software-based providers, and full-service accounting; whether contractors need a specialized accountant; the distinction between a bookkeeper and a full-service firm; and the consequences of late 1099 filing, where the firm cites per-form penalties that escalate with time. The firm states it typically identifies missed deductions when taking over from a generalist, and that it discusses entity structure questions, such as S-Corp versus LLC, during its included tax strategy sessions.
