Areas of Practice
Payroll
On the surface, payroll looks simple, with many vendors offering cookie-cutter cheap services that don’t fit the needs of many clients. We have no preconceptions of your requirements; our platform allows us to tailor our offerings to meet your specific needs.
You didn’t go into business for yourself to become an expert in compensation, but you also don’t want to hire another full-time employee. The good news is that Deer Trail Books, Ltd. will provide you with outsourced payroll services at a fraction of the cost of a new employee, which means you can spend your time growing your business instead.
Services we offer include two-day Direct Deposit, Computer checks, Handwritten checks, Federal / State / Local withholding payments, Federal and State unemployment payments, Workman’s compensation filing and payments, Family Medical Leave insurance filing and payments, management of health care savings, childcare savings, and retirement contribution calculations and payments.
Proper accounting procedures start with your bookkeeping. Starting correctly is better than having to catch up later. Filing penalties, bank overdrafts, and late payments are just a few of the problems that haunt businesses that do not have a proper bookkeeping system.
Deer Trail Books, Ltd. offers to be your back-office. We have helped many small businesses get started and simplify their back-office functions. We can provide comprehensive accounts payable and receivable services, budget and forecasting, periodic financial reporting, check preparation, mentoring, and impartial reviews.
Base bookkeeping services provided by our staff:
We record your checks and distribute all of those payments to the proper general ledger account; this alone means that your expenses are correctly and timely allocated.
We record your receipts, classifying them as either income, loans, or payments on accounts receivable and any other items that might occur.
We reconcile your bank accounts monthly, showing you what checks are still outstanding and what deposits still need to clear the bank.
If you choose to do your payroll, we can provide you with the required payroll reports from the information that you provide to us.
Detailed financial reports, income statements, and balance sheets can be prepared to show your budgeted amounts and the variances.
Trial balances, detailed general ledger, and any aged receivables and payable reports that will help you manage your business.
