Services: books, tax, payroll
What gets kept
Three services, and no upselling past them. If you only need the books kept, that is what happens. If the filings and the payroll come with it, they are done by the same hands rather than passed to a call centre.
Filed monthly
Clean books, reconciled every month, with reports you can actually read. General ledger, payables and receivables, job costing, bank and card reconciliations, sales tax filings, and QuickBooks setup or cleanup when the file has drifted.
Bookkeeping detailsThe margin notes
A practice this size has nowhere to hide. Here is the whole of it, marked up.
A named specialism, not a sideline
Designated funds, clergy compensation, a board that needs to understand the statement it is approving, and a congregation that trusts it was read properly. Michael has kept books for churches for decades. The logo has a cross in it for a reason.
Checkable, not claimed
Ramsey Solutions vets a tax pro before letting them carry the name. That is worth more than anything a website can say about itself, which is roughly how Michael puts it: this recognition isn’t bought, it’s earned.
In their words
Working with Mike Hayes was a great experience. He made what's usually a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. His knowledge of tax law and accounting is impressive, but what I appreciated most was his patience and how clearly he explained everything along the way. He never rushed me and always made time for my questions.
Elite Accounting Services have been doing my tax for many years. Mr Hayes started doing my personal tax first and always advised me on the tax break I could get. I trust his expertise and his honesty.
After having a terrible experience with another Tax Pro/CPA I found Mike, and boy am I glad! He has been nothing but helpful ever since and has gotten more things done in the short two months we've been working together than I could've hoped for!
This is my first year filing taxes after creating my own business. Mr. Hayes was extremely professional, quick to respond, provided advice/guidance, and stayed true to his word. Elite Accounting Services made the tax filing process a total breeze.

Nobody arrives with tidy books. A shoebox, a neglected QuickBooks file and a couple of unopened IRS letters is a normal Tuesday. The quote is free and you will get a straight answer on scope and price before any work begins.
First
Call or send a message and describe the business. No forms to fill in before a human reads it.
Then
What needs doing, what it costs, and what it does not need. Free quote, no obligation.
After
Books reconciled, filings made on time, payroll run, and someone to call when a letter arrives.
