ARMITAGE SOLUTIONS

Data File Clean-Up

Are your books out of control?

Do you know how much people owe you, how much profit you made last quarter or how many bills you have due? 

If these questions raised any concern for you, we can help by reviewing your books and getting them caught up and organized.  No project is too large or too small - we can take your data file or work on-site to get your books updated.

Disabled and Senior Bookkeeping Services

Do you or a loved one have a debilitating illness that affects your hands, thinking or judgments?

Are you or a loved one addicted to gambling or excessive shopping?

Is it time in your life or a loved one's life to let go of the responsibilities of bookkeeping and just relax?

We can provide the gentle and caring assistance you or members of your family and friends need while maintaining a professional attitude that will put everyone at ease.  These services can range from weekly/monthly visits for assisting on-site with bill payments to complete power of attorney account budgeting and management depending on your needs or those of your loved one.

Drop-off or Shoebox Bookkeeping Services

Do you keep a large box or file into which every receipt and statement goes and from which they never reemerge?

Would you like to grab all of your paperwork and make it disappear?

Does your business need the space that off-site record keeping offers?

Does your partner get on you about not keeping better records?

Drop it off and make it go away!  Those are some of our clients' favorite words, and we do the job.  Gather your items together and drop them off at our office. We will keep all your documents organized and safely secured until year-end submission to the accountant.  Once the tax return is complete, your documents will be returned to you in an orderly fashion for long-term storage.  Updated reports can be mailed, faxed or emailed to you on your requested frequency, and you no longer have to look at the pile.

Family Bookkeeping Services

Does your family seem to spend without regard?

Do you have a household budget?

Are there multiple income or expense/deduction items coming in and out of your account that you may be missing at tax time?

Armitage Solutions will work with you and your family to create a realistic budget and a goal budget and will encourage and assist you in keeping it.  Various levels of this service may involve direct account bill payments, consultation budgeting, regular checking against actual spending or one-time sit downs to help communicate financial situations and needs to other family members. We can help you handle the sometimes difficult discussions your family faces about spending and budgeting with confidence and caring.

Forensic Bookkeeping

Are you involved in a divorce?

Is your business splitting up partners or closing down?

Does someone owe you money on a personal loan, but your records haven't been kept well?

We can work with you to prepare for your difficult situation and save you time and money in legal fees.  We will have your information ready to go and catalogued in a manner that is easy to understand and ready to submit in any proceeding.  We can help you gain a third-party non-bias perspective and potential expert witness testimony if necessary.

Investor Bookkeeping

Do you manage your own properties or invest in building projects?

Are you organized enough to report your expenses and rent by property at the touch of a button at the end of the year?

Do you know how long your funds are going to last without additional fundraising?

Do you have specific needs that a for-profit bookkeeper is not understanding?

On-site Contract Bookkeeping

Do you have a bookkeeping need, but not enough hours for a regular employee?

Would you like to have high-quality work from someone with tons of experience, but can't find the right person?

Are payroll taxes getting you down?

Armitage Solutions can come to your office and perform bookkeeping duties as much as one day per week to as little as one day per quarter. You will receive salary-level assistance at hourly rates on your schedule to meet your needs. Not often will you find employees with the kind of experience we have who can work as little or as much as you need them at your convenience.

Project Bookkeeping

Are you managing a large project and having troubles juggling the receipts?

Do you know where all the money went, but are not sure how to communicate that to the accountant?

Start-up Bookkeeping & Consulting

Have you always wanted to start your own business, but not sure where to begin?

Do have a hobby that could lead to income if focused and organized correctly?

Have you just started and feel overwhelmed with the paperwork required by your accountant, lawyer or business partners/investors?

We can meet with you to assess your business needs and refer you to professionals that can get your company organized correctly and your books off to the right start from the beginning.  Even if you are unsure, schedule a consultation and see what kinds of bookkeeping requirements are needed and review what your start-up costs, operating needs and revenue goals need to be to meet your requirements for starting a business.  Let's crunch the numbers together and discuss your personal needs to see how much financial and emotional investment may be needed for your specific business idea so you can gain the confidence needed to move forward, move on or forget it!
