Services

Abacist is a bookkeeping firm specializing in services for small to medium sized businesses.  The majority of our clients are based in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, but our services are available to companies across the nation. All service packages are customized to meet the particular needs of each business. While we can typically find a way to “do it all” remotely, we are happy to collaborate with your existing in-house staff if having boots on the ground is a non-negotiable for your office.

Each service package includes but is not limited to a combination of the tasks below:

• Accounts payable

• Accounts receivable

• Bank reconciliations

• Bookkeeping consulting services

• Cash flow schedules

• Financial statements

• Guardianship Accounting

• Payroll & payroll taxes

• Personal/individual bookkeeping

• Project-based bookkeeping

• QuickBooks Online software training

• Software setup

• Tax reporting (state & local)
  

Abacist is not in partnership with any CPA or accountant who prepares Federal Tax Returns. If you are already working with a CPA whom you are pleased with, we’d be happy to meet & collaborate with them! If you do not currently have a CPA or would like to explore working with someone new, we can provide referrals to CPA’s we enjoy working with.

Our team has experience working on many different accounting software programs, however to maintain our high quality services, at this time we have decided to work exclusively with QuickBooks Online and Ajera. If your business is not currently running on one of these platforms, we will be happy to assist in transferring your current set of books over to the program of your preference.

Wondering what the process of moving forward would look like? Check out our getting started page here!

Bookkeeper-in-training program

If your bookkeeping needs have led you here, you already know that finding exceptional bookkeepers is not easy! Occasionally we will bring on a team member with a background in another profession and train them first-hand to keep books. This team member works side-by-side a senior bookkeeper to learn the ropes and gain experience. With our bookkeeper-in-training program we offer our services at a reduced rate. This service package is a wonderful way for small businesses to take advantage of our high quality services at a greatly reduced rate. We do not sacrifice quality or accuracy to do this but we may need a little more time replying to emails and answering questions. Because a senior bookkeeper must review everything before it leaves our BIT’s desk, there may be a slight delay in our response.
