A little bit about us –
A specialty Accounting Firm implies we’re different, here’s why.
Here are a few FAQ’s. For more, see our FAQ’s Page.
What makes Engineered Accounting Solutions® different?
Our Founder and Owner is an Engineer with 20+ years of business development, engineering, program management and operations experience. Combined with 10+ years of accounting and tax experience, we offer a range of expertise unmatched by our competitors.
We’re a comprehensive Accounting, Bookkeeping, and Tax services practice, but our extensive background is well-suited to Advisory services particularly for product manufacturers.
We work with growth-oriented business clients that establish financial (and non-financial) targets and prefer an outsourced Accountant or CFO to achieve them.
Our ideal clients look to achieve higher-impact, higher-value performance goals beyond baseline compliance.
Services beyond Accounting/Tax compliance? What services?

We keep our approach simple? How?
We pride ourselves in simplifying complex issues with insight into your performance metrics and forward-looking projections using plain English.
We want you to understand where your business stands, but more importantly, where you’re headed.
In addition, having a solid relationship with your accountant is (often) vital to your success. Simplifying complex Accounting or Tax issues often lead to candid and frank conversations where strong relationships can enable difficult but important decisions.
We drive the types of solutions your business needs and adapt to the evolution and growth of your business:
Our approach evolves as your business grows. We Assess your business, get you Compliant, establish or refine your Performance targets, and Implement changes to your business as it grows. See Our Process below.
We eliminate Client anxiety. Our goal is to instill Client confidence.
Our Customer Service also makes us different – Does this sound familiar?
⊗ My Accountant or Tax CPA won’t respond to my calls, emails or texts.
⊗ They react to problems or issues, rather than plan and act proactively.
⊗ They’re unwilling (or unable) to simplify complex topics.
⊗ They inundate me with data with no explanation or insight on how well my business is performing.
Proactive Support
⇒ Nearly all financial issues can be avoided, through proactive support. We don’t wait until an issue becomes a much larger problem.
⇒ If we see a compliance issue, we notify Clients. If it’s a recommendation, we’ll tell you.
⇒ Whatever the level of engagement we have with you, we communicate. We gravitate toward Clients that value building lasting relationships. One of our guiding principles is to help our Clients make progress.
Financial & Performance Insight that’s Practical
⇒ Information is only good, if all that data – financial statements, schedules, key performance indicators, graphs, is summarized in clear, concise language so that people can act on it.
⇒ Too many Clients get slammed with data; what they don’t get is a clear picture of the performance of their business.
⇒ Has your business improved compared to the prior year? How do you know? Does your Accountant/CPA summarize this using data? We do.

01 - Assessment (read more)
As a first step, we assess your business for compliance (with laws, rules, regulations) and performance (key performance indicators and metrics). As a new Client, we detail this in our proposal(s) after we gain an understanding of the specifics of your operation. For an existing Client, this is an ongoing step to monitor your business for compliance and that internal goals and targets are still relevant with regard to your business’s overall mission and strategy.
02 - Compliance (read more)
There are two key aspects to compliance for businesses – 1. Fairly stated books, financials and records, and 2. Conformity to laws, regulations and rules imposed by taxing authorities. For 1, Accuracy with adjusting entries, account reconciliations and proper transaction classifications are necessary to ensure solid records and financials. Filing returns on time, and addressing issues or deficiencies (such as tax debt) within deadlines, are just two examples of compliance.
03 - Performance (read more)
Every business interested in long-term growth enacts aggressive plans to achieve goals and targets – financial and non-financial. Actual results need to be compared against goals and targets. Compliance is required, but compliance does not address growth. Business metrics should continually be assessed for effectiveness. With growth, compliance becomes more expensive, so tax planning becomes essential. Most importantly, decisions must be made based on accurate, reliable data.
04 - Implement Changes & Repeat (read more)
Growth means change. Changes can come from organic growth or through acquisitions, for example. As the business grows, it’s structure evolves and will likely require changes to address new or different compliance requirements as well as new or revised goals and targets. We view this process as a continuous loop. As changes are implemented they are re-assessed, complied with, and performance is analyzed – Implementing changes feeds back to the 01 – Assessment phase and continues.
