Challenge: Trash is a video editing platform that had one of its founders keep company books for two years.

Solution: When Pilot took over, it synced all Trash's financial accounts, including payroll and accounting cards. The agency reconciled all books and started creating monthly statements, so all books were up to date. Finally, Pilot built custom reports for NSF to keep track of its funds.

They have multiple offices and addresses posted online. One time I drove to Sherwood Park, and it was not the right place. Then I had to email to confirm which address they were at. They did my taxes during tax season, and it was fine. But I asked to set an appointment to discuss my RDSP. The receptionist told me on two separate occasions that they'd get ahold of me after tax season. I still have yet to hear from them. When I'd go into the office it seemed disorganized, I can understand Tax Season is very busy and a lot of paperwork but keep in mind this is confidential information, and paperwork should be left all over the place where everyone can see.

I wish I could give 6 stars! Kevin is exceptional - both personable and incredibly informative, which sets him apart from many accountants we’ve worked with in the past. Our tax situation is somewhat complicated, so having someone who can clearly explain where we stand and put us at ease makes all the difference. Kevin delivers exactly that level of service and expertise.

Kenny Legge's Review Sourced from Google
I couldn't be more thankful for Kevin and his team. We had to move to a CPA a few years ago when we created our Trust, and it was a pulling teeth type scenario each year to complete our taxes. Moving to Kevin this year was the best financial decision we have ever made, and our checking account is far happier. They combed through our last CPA's submissions, found errors, and highlighted how to improve. Thanks to their due diligence and thoughtful approach, we received the most significant refund we have ever had, and still paid less than we did last year for tax preparation. If you use anyone else in the desert, I would rethink that decision and go with Kevin and his team. You won't regret it! A++++

I needed someone more well-versed for a Sub-S LLC and Personal Taxes after using H&R Block for years. Waited last minute and was able to find Manmeet. He took care of me even though it was last-minute. We got everything filed on time and his communication was excellent throughout. He even found a mistake on my prior year's return that saved us a few thousand!
Manmeet is excellent and I highly recommend him for anyone needing help with personal/business taxes!

Everything was handled accurately and efficiently! Manmeet answered all of our questions and the entire process felt organized and reliable. I highly recommend working with him!

An accounting firm for startups is a company that helps new businesses handle their financial tasks, such as bookkeeping, cash flow management, taxation, etc. By hiring an accounting company, startups can ensure that all financial transactions are made and booked in compliance with the laws and regulations. This helps keep track of the company's finances and avoid risking any irregularities that can result in high money penalties or startup shutdowns.
One example of a successful project is the collaboration between a health and wellness startup and Mercurius Advisory Services accounting firm. The client had an issue with inaccurately maintained books and lacked staff with adequate accounting knowledge to handle the problem. Mercurius Advisory Services provided proper categorization of credit card transactions and bank statements and matched all accounts receivables with Zoho Inventory, Amazon, Shopify, and Stripe accounts. Thanks to this, the startup was relieved of all accounting concerns and free to focus on core areas of its business.
What services do accounting firms provide for startups?
Accounting firms provide everything from basic bookkeeping to financial advising for their startup clients.
Their responsibilities are typically:
Bookkeeping services: Keeping a record of all financial transactions and organizing them
Tax compliance: Maximizing tax benefits, decreasing tax liability, and providing another kind of tax guidance
Financial management: Cash flow management, budgeting, and similar services
Financial modeling: Creating a model to attract potential investors
Financial reporting: Creating comprehensive reports for startup stakeholders and investors
Business planning: Strategic organization of financial goals
Risk management: Mitigating financial risks to safeguard against potential issues
Advisory services: Help with financial business decisions such as investments or succession planning
An example of a successful collaboration that included accounting services delivery is the one between Mercurius Advisory Services and a USA-based landscaping business. The landscaping firm had trouble recording invoices and payments with the QuickBooks Desktop software. Therefore, the startup accounting company provided the following services:
Reconciling merchant account deposits with bank deposits
Creating invoices and recording payments
Categorizing and reconciling accounts
Un-deposited fund balance rectification
Financial reporting
The client was happy with the services received that it decided to continue working with Mercurius Advisory Services and even hired the firm to help migrate accounts to another bookkeeping software.
What is the difference between startup accounting services and bookkeeping?
The difference between startup accounting services and bookkeeping is in the scope of work delivered to the client. Bookkeeping is just one part of accounting services that entails tracking and organizing a startup's financial transactions. In contrast, startup accounting services usually include bookkeeping and other supporting tasks that can range from tax compliance to financial advising.
For instance, common startup bookkeeping services include:
Keeping records of customers' payments and invoices
Maintaining accounts receivable
Reconciling bank and credit card accounts
Payroll management
Accounting services for startups typically include:
Bookkeeping
Taxing
Financial management and reporting
Risk management
Financial advising
How much do startup accounting services cost?
Startup accounting services costs start from around $600 per month for basic bookkeeping. Several factors affect the price of accounting services for startups:
The volume of transactions: Accounting price goes up for a large number of monthly transactions
The complexity of transactions: Some transactions, like prepaid Facebook advertising, require monthly updates and take more time
The client doing some bookkeeping: Some startups take on basic payment tasks, which can lower the accounting price
Using accounting software: Investing in an accounting software tool will save money and costs
The top 50 startup accounting agencies on DesignRush charge an average of $98/hour. Roughly 32% of the startup accounting companies on DesignRush accept projects with a minimum budget of less than $1,000, while 4% require a $50,000+ minimum budget.
Why should I hire a startup accounting service?
You should hire a startup accounting service to keep track of your finances, eliminate bookkeeping errors, and ensure compliance with financial laws and regulations. Hiring a startup accounting service can provide specialized expertise, cost savings, scalability, and strategic insights, all of which are essential for the growth and success of a new business.
Some of the benefits of hiring a startup accounting firm include:
Avoid common startup pitfalls: According to a survey, running out of money or failing to raise capital is the number one reason startups fail. An accounting firm can help minimize these risks.
Reduce the risk of errors: An accounting professional has the necessary expertise to ensure all tasks are done according to financial laws.
Provide financial advice: When considering important business decisions around investments, startup founders can consult an accounting company and get guidance.
Cost optimization: If your startup has good revenue but a stagnant profit, an accounting firm can find the source of problems like unnecessary expenses or overpriced investments.
Time saving: Startups have few employees and can benefit from delegating all financial tasks to an accounting company so they can focus on other responsibilities.
An example of a successful collaboration is a healthcare billing startup that hired an accounting firm called Invensis to help overcome billing and payment process challenges in receiving payments from patients. Invensis identified an outdated approach to invoicing as one of the problems and established different payment options. As a result, the client saw an improvement of almost 80% in recovering outstanding payments and a nearly 90% reduction in bad debt.
How do I choose the best accounting firm for my startup business?
Choosing the best accounting firm for your startup involves several key considerations. You want to ensure that the firm meets your specific needs and can support your business effectively as it grows. To choose the right accounting firm for your startup business, consider the company’s experience in your industry, its portfolio of services, pricing plans, and client reviews.
Based on your company's needs, you should focus on these steps:
Identify your goals: Define which financial processes you want to take care of internally and which you want to outsource. Make a list of all the areas where you need expert help.
Find the right expertise: Look for a startup accounting company with experience in the services you need. Browse through DesignRush’s Agency Directory to find ideal candidates for the job. Some companies provide only bookkeeping and taxing services while others offer financial advising for startups.
Set a budget: Determine the monthly amount you can invest in accounting.
Evaluate their pricing structure: Understand the firm’s pricing model. Some agencies charge hourly rates, while others offer fixed-fee packages. Make sure the pricing is transparent and aligns with your budget. Ask about any additional fees that might arise.
Review agency experience: Ask for a portfolio of relevant work, case studies, reviews, and clients you can contact for feedback. Ideally, the agency should have tangible results with companies from your industry.
Evaluate communication and responsiveness: Good communication is vital. Confirm the firm is responsive, easy to communicate with, and willing to explain complex financial concepts in understandable terms. Quick and clear communication can save time and prevent misunderstandings.
Ask about the processes: Find out how the accounting firm handles all finances, what inputs and documents it needs from you, etc.
Inquire about analytics and reporting: Ask the agency how it tracks finances and if it uses any kind of accounting software for reporting.
Interview: Set up interviews with prospective startup accounting companies to discuss the project in detail and determine if they fit your team well.
Make a decision: After reviewing the RFPs, choose the best-suited agency and establish all project development processes.
If you need a custom-made list of accounting firms for startups, contact us. Our team will match you with the most suitable agencies based on your list of requirements. You can browse our Marketplace for more details.
How do I find the best startup accounting service on DesignRush that fits my budget?
To find the best startup accounting service on DesignRush that fits your budget, use the filtering feature to sort agencies by minimal budgets in ascending order or by hourly rate from lowest to highest.
If you have a limited budget, look for agencies that accept projects under $1,000. Accounting firms like Remofirst, Upcloud Accounting, BOMCAS, Treewalk Consulting Inc., and CCC Capital CPA require a minimal budget below $1,000. The average hourly rate changes from country to country, so you may consider hiring an agency outside the US that offers more affordable rates.
