His “Accounting Services” offering, also frequently referred to as “CFO” or “Controllership Services”, completely outsources the finance and accounting function, ultimately at a lower cost than hiring full-time resources, and with a far greater expertise than a typical bookkeeper or accountant. In other words, Bradley provides a “one stop shop” for all critical finance/accounting functions to be handled by a single firm. Granted, all services can be purchased “À la carte” (e.g, only tax preparation), but the Accounting Services package provides small business owners with not just expert bookkeeping handled by a CPA, but the following services as well: • Maintenance of the general ledger and recordkeeping • Payroll • Cost accounting • Consulting • Financial reporting when needed • Period-end presentation of financial performance • Financial projections and modeling • Cashflow planning • Communication with external stakeholders • Guidance for scaling • Tax planning • Tax preparation • And more CPA Firm Services: Whether due to unexpected staffing shortages and/or unexpected acquisition of clients, Bradley provides a solution for CPA firms that find themselves needing to extend their engagement teams on an ad hoc basis. Bradley has a comprehensive understanding of US GAAP, Regulation S-X, SOX/ICFR, PCAOB Standards, SAS (GAAS), SSARS, SSAE, GAGAS (Yellow Book), and more. He provides CPA firms with a way to plug in a highly seasoned A&A specialist with the competency, experience, and skill of a Partner/Director on an as needed basis.
