Godwin & Associates CPA
Solutions-Based Options for Growing Businesses
What We Offer
- Timely and Actionable Data: Small businesses need timely and actionable data to make decisions, but that data needs to be easily understood and consistently provided. From start-ups to well-established businesses, we provide data designed to highlight trends (both positive and negative) and then work with the small business owner to maintain the positive momentum and redirect negative momentum.
- Timely Follow-Up: Your subscription engagement guarantees access to anyone in our firm who can assist with your work. You will have access to all our collective expertise; you will, however, be assigned to one primary team member as a point of contact for your accounting work so that one person is responsible for answering your questions in a timely manner.
- A Primary Focus on the Health of your Business: Taxes are a part of running any business, but we do not start with a focus on taxes. We want your company to be healthy so that it operates at its optimal level for you and your employees. Without healthy finances, you won't have a business for very long.
- Tiered Subscription Pricing: Some businesses want us to be deeply involved in all aspects of their accounting; some don't have the budget for that level of involvement. Our 3-option tiered subscription pricing allows you to choose the option that fits both your perception of our value as well as your budget for what we offer.
Real-Time Accounting
We exclusively use QuickBooks Online to keep up with your transaction activity as it happens. We strongly believe that accounting should take place every single day, not just at the end of the month.
Financials
Financial statements should be used for more than tax preparation. We prepare financial statements to ensure your understanding of your business's health.
Custom reporting
In our higher-level engagements, we enjoy digging deeply into metrics and helping our customers forecast potential scenarios. We also employ custom dashboards to provide an even deeper analysis of trends.
Accounts Payables
If your business could use some back-office support, we can build an engagement to provide controllership and fractional CFO solutions.
Accounts Receivables
As part of our controllership and fractional CFO services, we can assist with Accounts Receivable functions as well.
Tax Advisory and Preparation
We offer tax advisory, planning, and preparation as part of every business engagement. We use your monthly financials to constantly offer tax planning solutions, and we also prepare your year-end business and individual tax returns.
Where applicable, we also offer sales tax solutions as well.
Small Business Consulting
We offer consulting solutions for professional service businesses at each of these phases: start-ups, growing businesses, and mature businesses considering a sale. We feel that a CPA firm is well-positioned to focus on the operational as well as the financial issues important to businesses at all
three of these stages.Start-Up Consulting
A consulting solution designed for the new lifestyle business start-up. No one ever starts a business knowing everything, so we built a consulting solution to provide new owners with important pre-revenue information such as entity choice, compensation structure, entrepreneurship pitfalls, tax implications, and how to set up an accounting system.
Grow-Up Consulting
A consulting solution designed for businesses that are ready to enter the exciting growth phase of their life cycle. Growth without a plan is worse than no growth at all, and our solution is designed to build a blueprint for purposeful growth
using goal-setting dashboards, KPIs, employee interviews, assessing risk management, and profit-building exercises.Wind-Down Consulting
A consulting solution designed for business owners considering their exit strategy. Exiting a small business isn't as easy as just handing someone else your keys. We walk our business owners through the implications of selling or closing their doors. Many of the primary considerations are financial in nature, but our unique consulting solution covers those as well as non-financial considerations.
