The Problem
All successful businesses demand an ongoing investment of time in relation to the accounting tasks, internal controls, and infrastructure within the company.
​
Within accounting departments there are Bookkeepers, Controllers, and Chief Financial Officers, each playing a specific and important role.
Most small businesses cannot justify having dedicated staff for these three central functions. As a result, the owner tends to spend valuable time fulfilling these roles which generally is not the best use of the owner’s talent or time.
The Solution
A successful business is in its most productive state when working with professional accountants. Socius Accounting Solutions provides access to professionals trained in all three distinct functions in a collaborative and customizable approach. For example, if the business already has a bookkeeper, Socius works alongside this staff member providing direction and controls.
​
We are monthly fixed-fee based to align the owner’s interest with timely support. Effort is spent on the high value needs rather than the misalignment that sometimes exists with the hourly billing model. With efficiency at our core, the business is able to save valuable resources such as salaries, benefits, training time, and recruitment expenses.
​
What makes us unique is our partnership approach. We leverage technology for accurate delivery of this solution in a secure and innovative way that empowers business owners to focus on what they do best.
