Accounting FAQs
What kind of accounting services do you provide?
We specialize in full-service accounting for growing businesses. That includes bookkeeping, financial statement preparation, tax prep and planning, and strategic leadership through Fractional CFO and Controller roles. Whether you need a one-time cleanup or ongoing support, we build our services around your needs.
What is a Fractional CFO and how do you know if you need one?
A Fractional CFO provides high-level financial strategy—budgeting, forecasting, performance analysis—without the overhead of hiring a full-time CFO. We work closely with owners to answer questions like “Where’s the money going?” and “How can I plan better for what’s ahead?” If you're making $2–10M+ and want more control over your cash flow and growth, this is for you.
Do you work with clients who already have in-house staff?
Absolutely. We often serve as an outside accounting team or act as a second set of eyes for internal bookkeepers. Whether it’s stepping in as a Controller or supporting your staff during busy seasons, we work seamlessly alongside your team.
How is your bookkeeping service different from hiring a regular bookkeeper?
We’re not just entering data. Our bookkeeping services include transaction management, bank reconciliation, sales tax compliance, and monthly financial reports that actually mean something. Plus, everything is overseen by licensed CPAs with construction, retail, and real estate experience.
Can you prepare my financial statements?
Yes—clear, accurate financial statement prep is one of our core services. We deliver balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow reports tailored to your business. You’ll always know where things stand, and you’ll be ready when it's time to talk to lenders, investors, or the IRS.
What’s the difference between a Controller and a CFO?
A Controller focuses on accurate financial reporting, internal processes, and compliance—keeping the books tight and clean. A CFO looks forward: planning, strategy, and financial leadership. At Rice & Netherton, we provide both depending on what your business needs most.
Do you help with taxes, too?
Yes. We offer business and individual tax prep, filings, and planning. We help business owners stay compliant, avoid surprises, and find smart ways to reduce their tax burden. You don’t have to navigate this stuff alone—we’re here all year, not just during tax season.
What sets your firm apart from other accounting options?
At Rice & Netherton CPAs, we combine the expertise of a larger firm with the personal attention of a small, dedicated team. We're licensed CPAs with experience across multiple industries and states, and we tailor our approach to fit your business—not the other way around. If you're looking for down-to-earth professionals who are responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with, we might be a great fit.
