QUICKBOOKS

Get your business off to the best possible start with accurate financial recordkeeping and insightful reporting. As Certified QuickBooks® Consultants, Couto DeFranco offers QuickBooks installation, setup of your chart of accounts, and on-site training to help you make the most of this small business bookkeeping tool.

 
 
FRAUD PREVENTION

Every business faces its unique challenges - regardless of product or industry, certain best practices such as financial checks and balances are universal for sustained growth.

Even with common safeguards in place, we know that doing business in the real world can require the occasional “work-around” solution. Let us examine your day-to-day procedures to ensure that good procedural habits are reinforced and solid measures are in place to protect the financial health and assets of your enterprise.

 
 
CFO / CONTROLLERSHIP

Could your company benefit from the advice of a chief financial officer or company controller, but you're not quite ready for a full-time employee? Couto DeFranco can serve as your "on-call" CFO, offering a fresh perspective and ongoing support in the areas that are typically the responsibility of a CFO/controller:

  • Budgets
  • Cash flows
  • Projections
  • Systems and organization of your accounting department
  • Monthly accounting assistance
  • Point of contact for external auditors
 
 
BENCHMARKING

What's the most accurate way to assess your company's strengths and weaknesses, gauge performance, and put the information you need for more informed decision-making at your fingertips?

Comparative financial ratio analysis, also known as benchmarking, is the process of performing a financial ratio analysis of your business and comparing the results to industry averages. Through this highly detailed analysis, you'll acquire a better understanding of your company's financial position, and identify areas for improving performance.

Benchmarking gives business owners and managers the tools necessary for integrating financial and accounting performance into the planning and decision-making process, and for reviewing key financials with investors, lenders, and other key stakeholders.

 
 

“In our temporary staffing business, we frequently deal with per diem compensation for out-of-state employees. Couto DeFranco helps us stay on top of the tax laws, which change all the time.”
