Accounting

With the ever-changing rules and regulations of the financial industry, there is no doubt you will have questions from time to time. We are here to help. Whether it is a quick phone call or in-person meeting, we want to do whatever is best for you. After all, what is the point of having an accountant if you can’t ask for financial advice? Our philosophy is to respond to clients within 48 hours so you get what you need, when you need it. Think of us more like your financial partner, rather than just an accountant.

Quickbooks is the most popular small business accounting software system in the United States. It’s likely if you are reading this, you either currently use it or are considering it.

We utilize Quickbooks for many of our clients, and we also help with initial set up and implementation of the software. We have a Quickbooks Pro-Advisor on staff to help small and mid-sized businesses, start-ups and entrepreneurs with any question or needs they might have.

When it comes to any matter dealing with your bank, Goering & Granatino is on your side. From helping you obtain financing to monthly reporting, our team can manage it all.

We work hard to provide easy-to-understand reports and provide advice in a way that makes sense to you. After all, you are busy managing a business; you don’t need to spend hours trying to decode bank jargon.

More than anything, business owners want to focus on their business. They want to do what they do best and trust their financial partner to provide real-time financial reporting to help them make vital business planning decisions.
