FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions:


  1. What's the difference between a senior accountant and a bookkeeper?

    ​The line can blur somewhat in a small company, but generally - bookkeepers are primarily concerned with recording the daily transactions in a business, such as bills, invoices, and payroll.  They often prepare tax forms for signature (other than federal income tax forms).   Senior accountants may also do this work, or supervise others to do it, but their primary focus is on presenting facts to the owners of a business to assist in cash management and business planning.

  2. What should I look for in a senior accountant or bookkeeper?

    Experience, organization, and dedication to the needs of your business. At ASP, all of our consultants are pre-screened, so you don't need to go through the process of advertising, interviewing, and hiring.

  3. How much do you charge?

    At ASP, there are no up-front fees or hidden costs. You pay our consultants by the hour, so you pay only for what you need. Unlike a part-time employee, there are no charges for taxes and benefits, and if you choose our "virtual option," there are no expenses for space or equipment. The specific rate depends on the scope of work. For an exact quote, please contact us.

  4. Do I have to use QuickBooks?

    No. We have consultants who can use Peachtree, Netsuite, and other packages as well as all the versions of QuickBooks including QuickBooks Online.

  5. What if my ASP accountant or bookkeeper leaves?

    If for some reason your ASP consultant leaves, we will provide you another person from our team, either on an interim or permanent basis. You'll never be left without help, and we are committed to making a smooth transition should such a situation arise.

  6. Isn't it hard to have someone work offsite?

    ​Our consultants have been working offsite successfully for 15 years. Together we can find a combination of technologies that will allow us to comfortably work virtually for your company while fitting your business and your budget.
