Justin Rhinesmith's Review Sourced from Google
I don't know if communication was lost or never sent, but multiple requirements of us were never received - including the cutoff date for submitting our information - which caused us to miss filing on time and requiring an extension. When asked, we were told that information was provided, but I could not (and still can not) find that information anywhere. We didn't realize we were after the cutoff date until we reached out to ask about the status. After learning that we needed an extension, multiple dates were given for when our taxes would be filed. When dates were missed, we again had to reach out for clarification and a new timeline.

Erin Jobe's Review Sourced from Google
We are a non-profit that experienced rapid growth and facing an increasingly complex landscape of grant restrictions and financial reporting requirements - we were in need of an experienced consultant to support us in leveling up and streamlining our bookkeeping and finance processes. Dean connected us with Nancy from his team, and Nancy has been absolutely incredible. She not only guided us in untangling our financials but also in updating our processing and implementing best practices. She's an excellent teacher and communicator in addition to being extremely knowledgeable and unafraid of taking on complex issues. We are so relieved to be in a much stronger spot with robust systems for achieving the financial clarity and reporting that we need to make sound decisions and stay compliant with funders, thanks to Dean and Nancy.
Jim Steurnagel's Review Sourced from Google
What can I say about Barta Business Group? I work in the live events industry, and to say that the last few years have been temultuous would be an understatement. They took the mess I had made while closing one business, and opening another, and laid it all out straight. I was running on a very basic invoicing software, and they got me up to speed with something professional I can use with any bookkeeper, and my business is running so much more smoothly because of it. Thanks guys. Highly recommend!
Aimee Zygmonski's Review Sourced from Google
We're a small, national, nonprofit member association with a cranky database and lots of internal financial quirks. Barta Business Group stepped in to clean up our books and get us on the right track. Within a few short months, Dean was able to create better systems for financial accountability, wrangle our database into clear and consistent shape so we knew where we stood on income and expenses, provide support to our nascent board treasurer, and most of all, do all of this with a great attitude. We love working with Dean and feel confident that our books are in the best of hands.

Accounting Firm FAQs
What is an accounting agency?
An accounting agency is a professional service firm that helps businesses manage their financial records. This includes tracking income and expenses, preparing financial reports, handling taxes, and ensuring compliance with financial regulations.
In short, an accounting agency makes sure a company’s finances are accurate, organized, and aligned with legal standards.
How can an accounting agency help businesses streamline finances?
An accounting agency helps businesses streamline their finances by organizing and managing all financial activities in one place. This includes budgeting, bookkeeping, payroll, and tax preparation.
By taking over these tasks, the agency reduces errors, saves time, and improves cash flow. It also gives business owners a clear view of where their money is going, helping them make smarter financial decisions.
Which types of companies benefit most from outsourced accounting services?
Small to mid-sized businesses benefit most from outsourced accounting services. These companies often don’t have the time or budget to hire a full in-house accounting team.
Startups, eCommerce brands, service providers, and growing businesses use outsourced accounting to save money, stay compliant, and focus on core operations. It’s especially helpful for companies that need expert financial support but want to avoid the overhead costs of hiring full-time staff.
What are the top-rated accounting agencies on DesignRush in 2025?
The top-rated accounting agencies on DesignRush in 2025 are:
What core and specialized accounting services do these agencies offer?
Accounting agencies offer core services like bookkeeping, payroll, financial reporting, tax preparation, and budgeting. These cover the basics every business needs to stay organized and compliant.
They also provide specialized services such as forensic accounting, audit support, financial forecasting, and CFO consulting. These are useful for companies with complex financial needs, growth plans, or legal concerns.
How much do professional accounting services cost in 2025?
Accounting costs vary depending on how small or big your needs are, who you hire, and where you're located. In 2025, accountants in the US typically charge between $150 and $400 per hour. Junior accountants or bookkeepers are more affordable, often ranging from $40 to $100 per hour.
Basic monthly bookkeeping services can cost around $300 to $2,500 per month, depending on how many transactions you have and how detailed the work is.
How quickly can businesses expect financial clarity and improvements?
Most businesses see financial clarity within the first 30 to 90 days of working with an accounting agency. This depends on how organized your current records are and the scope of services you need.
For example, cleaning up books or setting up new systems can take a few weeks. But once that’s done, agencies usually deliver clearer reports, better cash flow insights, and fewer compliance risks fairly quickly. You’ll start noticing improvements as soon as the agency finishes its initial review and puts systems in place.
What criteria should businesses use when choosing an accounting agency?
When choosing an accounting agency, look for:
- Experience with your industry
- Clear pricing and services
- Certified staff, like CPAs
- Good communication and quick responses
- Modern tools for reports and tracking
Always check reviews or ask for referrals. A good agency should explain things clearly and help your business grow.
What red flags indicate an unreliable accounting partner?
Watch out for these signs:
- Vague pricing or hidden fees
- Slow replies or poor communication
- No certifications like CPA or licensed staff
- Outdated software or manual-only processes
- Missed deadlines or frequent errors
If an agency can’t explain things clearly or makes you feel unsure, it’s a sign to look elsewhere.
What essential questions should you ask before signing with an accounting agency?
Before signing with an accounting agency, you should ask some of the following essential questions:
- What services do you include in your fee?
- Do you have experience in my industry?
- Who will handle my account? Are they certified?
- What tools or software do you use?
- How often will I get reports or updates?
- How do you handle deadlines and tax filings?
Clear answers mean they know what they’re doing and that you’ll be in good hands.
How does working with an accounting agency differ from using accounting software or in-house staff?
An accounting agency gives you expert support without hiring full-time staff. Unlike software, it doesn't just track numbers; it explains them and helps you plan.
Compared to in-house teams, agencies are often more affordable and more experienced, especially for small businesses. You also get access to the latest tools and tax updates without managing it all yourself.
What tools, reporting systems, and compliance platforms do top accounting agencies rely on today?
Top accounting agencies use tools like QuickBooks and Xero for bookkeeping, NetSuite for full financial management, and Gusto or ADP for payroll.
They also use TaxJar or Avalara for sales tax compliance and Fathom or LivePlan for reporting and forecasting. These tools help automate tasks, reduce errors, and keep businesses compliant with tax and financial laws.
How legitimate is the FAQs?
We prioritize providing practical and accurate information for both businesses and agencies. To do so, we partnered with Paul Scott, chief website strategist at the award-winning company GoingClear. He shared insights on how organizations can select the right firm for their business needs.
