Frequently Asked Questions
What is a virtual CPA?
A virtual CPA provides the same services as a traditional CPA firm — tax preparation, bookkeeping, audits, financial planning — but delivers them remotely using secure cloud technology. You get expert-level service without visiting a physical office.
How much do virtual CPA services cost?
Pricing depends on the complexity of your financial situation and the services you need. We provide transparent fee estimates during your initial consultation. Virtual CPA firms typically have lower overhead than traditional firms, which translates to more competitive rates.
Do I need an audit for my nonprofit?
Many states require nonprofits to have an independent audit once they exceed certain revenue thresholds, often $500,000-$750,000. Grant-making organizations and government agencies frequently require audited financial statements. We can help determine your specific audit requirements.
What is the difference between an S-Corp and an LLC for tax purposes?
An LLC provides liability protection and pass-through taxation by default. An S-Corp election can provide additional tax savings by allowing owners to split income between salary (subject to payroll taxes) and distributions (not subject to payroll taxes). The right choice depends on your income level, business structure, and state tax laws.
What does a virtual CFO do?
A virtual CFO (fractional CFO) provides high-level financial strategy and oversight on a part-time basis — budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, financial analysis, KPI reporting, and strategic financial planning. You get C-suite financial leadership without the full-time cost.
Can you help if I'm behind on bookkeeping or taxes?
Yes. We offer catch-up bookkeeping services to bring your books current and can help resolve back tax issues including IRS notices, unfiled returns, and payment plans.
What accounting software do you work with?
We work with QuickBooks Online, Xero, FreshBooks, Wave, and other major cloud accounting platforms. We can also help you select and set up the best software for your business.
How do I prepare for tax season?
Organize financial records throughout the year, keep receipts for business expenses, track mileage and home office usage, make quarterly estimated tax payments, and schedule a year-end tax planning session before December 31.
What is DCAA compliant accounting?
DCAA (Defense Contract Audit Agency) compliant accounting is a system that meets federal government requirements for contractors. It includes proper timekeeping, job cost accounting, indirect cost allocation, and specific internal controls required for government contract work.
Do I need a CPA or a bookkeeper?
Bookkeepers handle day-to-day recording of financial transactions. CPAs handle higher-level work — tax planning and preparation, audits, financial analysis, and strategic advice. Many businesses need both. Our firm provides both services so you have one team managing everything.
What's the difference between an audit, review, and compilation?
An audit provides the highest level of assurance through independent verification of financial statements. A review provides limited assurance through analytical procedures and inquiries. A compilation presents financial information in statement format without assurance. The right choice depends on your stakeholders' requirements.
Do you serve businesses outside the DMV area?
Yes. While our primary service area is Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia, we serve clients nationwide through our 100% virtual model. Our cloud-based systems allow us to work with businesses anywhere in the United States.
