Its Accounting Services Department earned a reputation as an industry leader with its combination of accounting technology expertise and bookkeeping precision, equipping business decision-makers with the highest quality, up-to-date financial information. Not content with simply revolutionizing the Accounting Services and Bookkeeping industry, Managing Partner Katy Schossow is also breaking the outdated CPA firm model of tax preparation services by introducing fine-tuned, personalized tax planning and preparation solutions focused on maximizing the long-term financial well-being of businesses and families. Because of the expertise of its Accounting Services and Tax Departments, J&K Associates is uniquely positioned to offer some valuable insights into the importance of accurate financial information, delivered through quality bookkeeping services, as a lead-in to tax preparation.
Ultimately, tax preparation for businesses is an exercise in compliance with legal requirements. Tax law mandates businesses report their income, expenses, and an assortment of other financial information accurately. Failure to do so can result in penalties, fines, and even legal action. For far too long, the CPA industry has been content with the model of hurriedly prepared tax returns drawing on financial information, organized and recorded either by themselves or the client, that is hastily reviewed and “corrected” before being pushed out the door into the hands of the IRS. Unsurprisingly, this model results in clients frequently overpaying for tax liabilities or fighting off penalties and IRS inquiries. J&K Associates’ Accounting Services Department, through the meticulous attention to detail devoted to its bookkeeping services, provides a critical first line of defense against adverse tax outcomes by ensuring every step of the tax preparation process is supported by the most accurate financial information.
Accurate financial information not only helps clients avoid unnecessary penalties and interest but also helps them take full advantage of the wide array of deductions and credits that may be available to business owners and individuals. The tax code provides various deductions and credits that can reduce clients’ taxable income, and resultingly, their tax liability. However, for clients to claim these benefits, they must provide accurate, detailed financial information. To claim these deductions and credits with confidence, quality bookkeeping must be performed throughout the year, allowing for ample time to research and strategically plan out the most favorable tax outcomes, not just in the days or hours before a tax return is provided to the IRS. In addition to facilitating meaningful financial and tax planning, high-quality bookkeeping can help prevent or overcome many clients’ worst nightmare, the IRS audit process. If your tax return is selected for an audit, accurate and well-documented financial information can simplify the process and greatly reduce the stress associated with it. Precise record-keeping makes it easier to substantiate claims and demonstrate compliance with tax laws, often leading to a faster and more favorable resolution of the audit.
J&K Associates Accounting Services and Bookkeeping Department will help you achieve peace of mind and a more secure financial future by ensuring your tax return is prepared with the most accurate information possible. This process is essential to maintain legal compliance, safeguard against penalties and interest, maximize credits and other deductions, and simplify the audit process.
