"I have been using Masmelas LLC for bookkeeping services since the beginning of 2010. Prior to working with Marta my books were a mess. She has a complete understanding of Quickbooks and the accounting cycle. In under three months we were able to get everything caught up. Now we meet once a month to reconcile everything and I feel better about my business than ever."

"Martha was a life-saver on more than one occasion! I hired her to help me set up Quickbooks. When tax time came around, I had a few more questions which she was more than happy to answer by email and phone. I truly appreciate her expertise and customer service. I look forward to working with her more..."

What is one of the first questions that come in mind of a new company owner. Do I know really the financial state of my company? Which changes can I do to make my company better?
For companies one of the most important task is accounting, it does not matter what activity you do, it's always good to know where are you standing financially, Its really important to know that companies that are organized grow faster, grow better.
These are some of the thing that you should know
How much money am I making?
Is my company stable?

Which expenses are deductable which are not?

There are two ways to have payroll service outside payroll and in-house payroll, my company does both and we will be happy to help you either way; but for me the best way to have the payroll is in-house payroll, let me explain you why. Some companies offer payroll services, they send you the information ready paycheck and payroll taxes and also payroll forms, there are a couple of disadvantages, some of those companies charge you for the mail services beside the payroll fee for their services and then you have to pay again to input the information in your own books and sometimes this keep your books out of date, therefore the in-house payroll you can have the same benefits and you will keep the balances up to day, because you will have all the information in your own books, forms can be printed after the paychecks are done, and the payroll liabilities too, for have everything on time and when you want it it is the best option, Also most of these companies have so many clients, it takes them time to bring your payroll forms on time or any small change can take more than 2 days for you to receive them, none of those problems happen when you do it in your own office.
