Often, businesses fail to maintain their fixed asset accounts, including depreciation expenses, which shows the need for capital to replace nonfunctioning, deteriorating, and outdated equipment.

In addition, failing to report fixed-asset activity properly does not give business owners and managers a way to measure the effective use of fixed assets to meet their business’ financial goals.

Consequently, because of this failure, businesses are unable to obtain the proper return on their fixed-asset capital expenditures.

We take on the labor-intensive accounting work of maintaining your business’ fixed asset accounts and reconciling them to the subsidiary ledger or module (and spreadsheets for smaller businesses).

Our services are essential even if you have an internal bookkeeper or accountant or use external accounting services for your day-to-day accounting.

Not-for-profit organizations have the same fixed-asset needs as for-profit organizations, and they often lack the personnel to keep their fixed-asset accounts current and up-to-date.
