At Bartley-Hathaway we understand how hard you work at your business. In the hectic nature of day-to-day operations you may find that you let certain things fall through the cracks - like your paperwork and bookkeeping.

Are you currently using spreadsheets, manual accounting ledgers or paper napkins to track your revenues and expenses? Are you meeting your government obligations on time? (Do you know what your government obligations ARE?) Can you tell in an instant what you made last month? Last year? Do you know if you will have enough cash to get through the next quarter? Let us help you streamline your back-office and free up your valuable time with a computerized accounting system.

With over 35 years of experience working with small businesses, we at Bartley-Hathaway Financial Services are able to offer you expert advice on the selection and implementation of your new back-office software.

Q. What accounting program(s) do you use/recommend?

It depends on your individual needs. For most small businesses we recommend Simply Accounting due to its amazing reporting functions and ease of getting the financial information you want when you want it. However, in some cases we use QuickBooks Accounting when we need certain features. We are also familiar with several other commonly used systems, or we can design something unique to your business with the help of our web development department.

 
Q. Can you do my bookkeeping for me?

Absolutely. We have a number of clients who prefer to spend their time working their business - not working ON their business. At Bartley-Hathaway, we excel in making sure you don't have to worry about the back-end of your business, freeing you up to serve your clients better and more efficiently. We can handle all aspects of your bookkeeping including deductions, payroll and government remittances. We can also work together with your accountant during tax season or you can have us prepare your corporate taxes for you. It's your choice.

 
Q. I want to do my own bookkeeping, can you set up my system?
This is one of our particular specialties! We know that you as a business owner may want to keep a more hands-on approach to your finances but need a little help setting things up to start with. We will meet with you to identify your particular company needs and help you select a computerized program that will work well with your business now and in the future. Ease of use, functionability, and budget are all areas that we consider when helping you select and set-up your new software.
 
Q. Why do I need a computerized system?
Spreadsheets and manual ledgers will record numbers but will not put them together in scenarios that can give you a much better picture of how your business is doing now and in the future. A computerized accounting system can be set up to remind you to pay bills on time, to invoice clients, to let you know if a cash flow issue is about to arise. You can see instantly your company's net worth, income and loss statements, forecasted earnings and profitability. See where your money is going and pinpoint where you can save or cut back to increase profits. The list is endless.
