As your business grows, your accounting needs become more complex.

Basic bookkeeping may no longer provide the financial reporting, accounting processes, cash-flow visibility, and financial oversight you need to effectively manage your business.

Lamont Accounting Services provides CPA-led outsourced accounting services to growing businesses throughout the United States.

We can provide the day-to-day accounting support and financial reporting your business needs while helping strengthen the processes behind your numbers.

What Is Outsourced Accounting?

Outsourced accounting allows a business to delegate some or all of its accounting functions to an experienced external accounting provider.

Instead of hiring, training, managing, and retaining a larger internal accounting department, your business can access experienced accounting expertise on a flexible basis.

Outsourced accounting services can include bookkeeping, general ledger management, account reconciliations, accounts payable, accounts receivable, month-end close, financial statement preparation, management reporting, cash-flow reporting, and accounting process improvement.

For growing businesses, outsourced accounting can also provide the foundation for adding fractional Controller and fractional CFO services as financial needs become more sophisticated.

When Should You Consider Outsourcing Your Accounting?

Your business may be ready for outsourced accounting if:

• Your business has outgrown its bookkeeper

• Financial statements are consistently delayed

• Your month-end close takes too long

• Your accounting team is overwhelmed

• You lack reliable cash-flow information

• Accounts receivable is increasing

• Accounts payable requires greater oversight

• You need better financial reporting

• Your business has become more complex

• You are adding employees, locations, or entities

• Your accounting processes haven't kept pace with growth

• Your owner or management team spends too much time managing accounting

• You need experienced accounting expertise without building a large internal department

Outsourced Accounting That Grows With Your Business

Your accounting needs change as your business grows.

A company may initially need bookkeeping and financial statement preparation. As revenue, employees, customers, locations, and financial complexity increase, it may need stronger controls, more sophisticated reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and financial leadership.

That's why Lamont Accounting Services provides a scalable progression:

Outsourced Accounting

Day-to-day accounting and reliable financial reporting.

Fractional Controller

Accounting oversight, financial controls, month-end close, reporting, and accounting-process management.

Fractional CFO

Forward-looking financial strategy, forecasting, cash-flow management, profitability analysis, and decision support.

You can add the level of financial expertise your business needs as it evolves.

Accounting for Growing Businesses—Not Just Transactions

Good accounting should do more than tell you what happened last month.

Your financial information should help management understand:

• Where revenue is coming from

• Where money is being spent

• Which areas of the business are profitable

• How much cash is available

• What your outstanding receivables look like

• What obligations are coming due

• Whether actual results are meeting expectations

• Where financial performance may require attention

Our goal is to help transform your accounting function from a recordkeeping requirement into a useful management resource.
