CPA Services for Small & Middle Market Businesses
Our certified public accountants in the Minneapolis area bring more to businesses than simple number crunching. Programs like QuickBooks can do that. At BWK, our CPAs approach your accounting needs with seasoned judgment and proven processes.
In other words, we utilize our “big firm” capabilities, but with the careful considerations and personability of a modest size firm. We pride ourselves on being reliable, accessible, and responsive for every client.
With BWK, you receive in-depth evaluation and advising from experienced accountants who get to know your business inside and out.
Cash Flow Management
Financial problems don’t typically begin with bad revenue. Rather, these issues come from timing mismatches between income and expenses. Managing cash flow is about building visibility into the details and understanding and acting on what is ahead in the future.
Financial Modeling & KPI Analysis
With cash flow management in place, you’re better able to build projections around real business decisions and that’s where financial modeling comes in. Financial modeling can be as simple or complex as your business requires, helping you build roadmaps for each vital business decision.
What happens to your profit and loss (P&L) if you add a product line, open a second location, or take on debt? From there, we look at key performance indicators to see whether the business is performing in line with its financial goals.
Budgeting, Forecasting, & Financial Statements
A budget is a plan set for the start of a time period. A forecast is an updated prediction, revised as your business changes and new information comes in. At BWK, we deliver both. More importantly, we understand the complex gap between the two. Reporting on budget-to-actual provides the necessary insights for changes and what you can do about it.
Our team also prepares financial statements that provide stakeholders with a reliable picture of where the business stands and where it’s headed. When it comes to growing businesses, that kind of financial visibility is what separates informed decisions from costly ones.
Tax Compliance
Staying compliant with federal, state and local tax obligations is an ongoing responsibility that extends well beyond filing season. Our team works to ensure your business meets its requirements accurately and on time, and that your tax position is considered alongside the broader financial decisions shaping your business.
Audit Readiness
Audits happen. Keeping well-maintained financial records is the foundation for delivering a smooth audit. We work with businesses to ensure their documentation is organized and that reconciliations and statements are in order. This kind of preparation can make a world of difference for small and middle market businesses facing audits.
FAQs
What’s the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
Bookkeeping is about recording transactions accurately and consistently. Accounting, on the other hand, is about interpreting what those transactions mean and advising on what to do next. At BWK, we offer both services.
What is financial modeling?
A financial model is a projection built from your actual business data, used to test decisions before you make them. Common uses for financial modeling include loan applications, strategic planning, acquisition analysis, and investor presentations.
