Industry Specific Accounting FAQs
What are industry specific accounting services?
Industry specific accounting services apply accounting processes, charts of accounts and reports designed for a particular business model, such as ecommerce payouts, construction job costing or restaurant prime cost, instead of a generic setup.
Which industries do you serve?
We serve ecommerce, retail, wholesale and distribution, manufacturing, construction and contractors, restaurants, healthcare, real estate and property management, and accounting firms across the US.
What if my industry is not listed?
We still work with many other businesses. The nine industries listed are where we have the deepest experience, and the same process and team structure apply to every client.
Do you use different software for different industries?
We work in QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero and Zoho Books for every industry, and connect the industry tools you already use, such as POS, marketplaces, job management or billing systems.
How is pricing set for industry clients?
Pricing depends on transaction volume, complexity and the services you need, not on your industry alone. We offer a competitive fixed monthly fee, hourly billing or per task pricing, quoted in writing after a free call.
Can you handle tax returns as well as bookkeeping?
Yes. Our tax team prepares and files business returns from the books we keep, and works with your own preparer if you prefer.
