We're not your average accounting firm.

The days of black and white accounting are over. We live in an age of technology and connection, and you'll notice right away that Elevated Accounting is different.

​Our company was founded on the idea that having an accounting firm support your business doesn't have to be stressful.  We create custom service packages for every client because every business and every business owner's knowledge-base is just that: Custom.  We take your unique strengths and back up your blinds spots with our strengths.

​Together, we're the perfect match. 

Payroll

Payroll preparation is one of the most common role we play for businesses. We calculate employee checks. We have the options to do Direct Deposit or written checks, whichever is most easiest for you. We will schedule required payroll taxes and file all payroll tax returns. Most of the time, these are done on a quarterly basis.

We keep your payroll records throughout the year so that when the end of the year rolls around, we (and YOU) are ready for the Year End process. We will prepare your annual tax return and communicate with your Tax Accountant to help provide answers to tax questions. We will verify employee and company information such as employee name spelling, addresses up to date, correct socials, etc and whether tax forms need to go straight to you or your employees. We will be sure to verify wages, taxes and benefits. Finally, we will put together your W-2's and work together to get them delivered to you in a timely manner and your delivery of choice. 

Most of all, by running payroll with us, you get a human being to speak to on the phone when you need us, rather than an automated system. 

What our clients say...

The days of working with computers to do payroll every month are over! Never again will I have to sit on hold, waiting for a customer service rep to answer my call. Human touch on payroll matters is so important to us, and Elevated Accounting is our solution. I cannot say enough good things about working with the EA team for our monthly payroll. We don't lift a finger while they take care of all the necessary calculations, paperwork and direct deposit, leaving me to focus on more pressing matters of our operations. I would be lost without this team!

Bookkeeping

The biggest benefit of having someone do bookkeeping for your household or your business is that you get more time to spend on what matters most to you. No more worrying if you missed something, or if your books are complete... we get into the nitty gritty — as much as you want our assistance, and we provide reports to you on a regular basis so you're always aware of where you're at. Keep in mind this is a custom process, and we work with companies (and households) both large and small. Some we handle nearly everything, and others we have more of a hands-off approach where we go in the system once a month to assure things are buttoned up. 

Do what can this look like? We can enter all transactions, or work with you to make this a coordinated effort. We assist in tracking all income and expenses, assuring everything hits the right categories in your books every month. Additionally, we reconcile all bank account statements, credit cards, loan payments and other outstanding accounts for you personally, or for your business... or both! 

For some really hands-on support, we manage accounts payable for many of our customers, receiving bills from vendors, tracking when they come due,  and submitting payments approved by you. We'll invoice your customers when you need, receive your payments and track outstanding balances owed to you.

Reaching out and seeking our help is the first step... from there, we decide how to coordinate our efforts to keep within your monthly budget. Once we're up and running, you get peace of mind, more time in your day, and a financial backbone that's ready to support you through whatever lies ahead!

What our clients say...

We are so grateful for everyone at Elevated Accounting. They have gone above and beyond to create a relationship built on trust and followthrough. They are there to answer all of our questions and respond quickly. We think the thing that stands out about Elevated Accounting is their team. They are knowledgeable, eager to help, and personable. They have always met deadlines and requests. We value our employees and making sure they are paid on time and have the resources they need is one way we can show our gratitude. Elevated Accounting helps us take care of the people that care for our community.

“We would highly recommend Sarah Gould founder/owner of Elevated Accounting for many reasons.
