Business entity planning

Should you organize your business as a sole proprietorship? An LLC? An S-corporation? A C-corporation? What are the filing and reporting requirements for each? These are all basic questions that new business owners and entrepreneurs must ask when they start a business. Each type of entity offers advantages and disadvantages, but entrepreneurs don’t often understand the implications of each entity type. Furthermore, some business owners who have previously formed a business of one type may wonder about the advantages of re-organizing as another type of entity. The CPA’s at PorterKinney can help you understand the advantages and disadvantages of each type of business entity.

Business Best Practices:

Running a business is complex and often intimidating. The CPA’s at PorterKinney can educate you on the best practices to help your business run more efficiently. PorterKinney can educate you in a diverse offering of best practices such as financial statements, cash flow panning, documentation, reimbursements, types of deductible expenses and more. This will give you a great overview of what practices to implement in your business, even if you don’t have an MBA.

Financial analysis:

Numbers don’t lie. Knowing the financial status of your business can help you make solid decisions about expansion, growth and opportunity. They can also help you understand and mitigate risk. Financial analysis can also help you evaluate current business practices to determine whether they are helping or hindering your ability to reach your business goals. The financial experts at PorterKinney can help you analyze your business finances, compare your finances to your industry averages and understand how you can use the information to improve your business.

Payroll system planning:

Payroll is simultaneously one of the most necessary and least rewarding parts of running a business. Many businesses operate without the right tools and information regarding payroll practices, which increases the amount of time it takes to run the payroll, and increases administrative costs for your business. PorterKinney CPAs offer a number of proven payroll solutions that can help reduce the time it takes to complete timekeeping and payroll tasks. Stuck with an outdated payroll system? Give the experts at PorterKinney a call to schedule a free consultation 509-713-7300.

Our staff can also provide advice and counsel regarding business decisions that can impact taxation. We offer these consulting services year-round to help you take advantages of opportunities as they arise.
