Bookkeeping and accounting services, while interconnected, serve different functions in the financial management of dental firms. Bookkeeping is the process of recording daily financial transactions in a consistent and organized manner. This includes tracking income and expenses, managing invoices, and maintaining ledgers. The primary focus is on accurately documenting financial activities as they occur.
Accounting, on the other hand, takes this recorded information to a higher level by analyzing, interpreting, summarizing, and presenting it in a format that helps in decision-making. Services include items such as tax planning, financial forecasting, creating financial statements and financial reports monthly, and offering strategic financial advice. We use the detailed data provided by bookkeeping processes to provide insights into the financial health of the practice, help with budgeting, and guide business owners in making informed financial decisions.
In essence, bookkeeping lays the groundwork for the accounting process. Both are crucial for the successful financial management of dental practices, but they cater to different stages of financial reporting and analysis. We provide both bookkeeper and professional accounting services, allowing for a level of continuity and guidance that allows your dental office to reach it's financial goals.

The primary difference between a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and an Enrolled Agent (EA) lies in their scope of practice and the path to obtaining their credentials. CPA firms are licensed by individual state boards and have a broad range of accounting expertise, including auditing, financial planning, and tax preparation. They must pass the Uniform CPA Examination and meet educational and experience requirements set by their state. EAs, on the other hand, are federally authorized tax practitioners who specialize exclusively in tax law and are licensed directly by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. They earn their designation by passing the IRS Special Enrollment Exam or through experience as former IRS employees.
