All I can say is "wow"! The team at Business in Balance are really true partners in my business. Over the past 10 years I have used 2 separate accounting firms. Each one functioned basically as a year end tax service and not much more. I also used a big payroll company and was frustrated with all the errors and extra charges. Then I found Business in Balance. It is an accounting firm like no other!
The team at Business in Balance lives up to their statement of being my Back End Support Team. Everyone on the staff is genuinely pleasant to work with and we are in touch with them all throughout the month. They have significantly reduced my tax burden. They've reduced the amount of time I need to spend on payroll. They handle all the tax forms that need to be filed throughout the year (sales/use tax, personal property tax, etc). They manage my books without me needing to spend hours coding expenses every month. And they don't just manage my bookkeeping, payroll and taxes... they have made a significant impact on how I run and develop my business.
As a small business owner, one of my most difficult and daunting tasks is to find good help. In one of our coaching sessions, we focused on hiring. (What other accountant does that?) The results were amazing! We went from getting a handful of responses to our job ad to getting nearly 100! And there were so many great applicants that we were able to hire the best of the best.
Business in Balance has helped us achieve several breakthroughs in areas where our business was "stuck". My husband and I are on our way to having our best year (profit-wise) ever and we are more focused on working "on" our business rather than "working in" our business.
Getting a call from our accountant used to be a dreaded thing. Now I can't answer the phone fast enough. And, I'll just add that not only is their flat, monthly fee reasonable...between what they have saved us in taxes and are helping us grow in profit, their services more than pay for themselves.

I've been with this firm for over a decade and they are the BEST money we've spent in our business. They've helped us navigate through the peaks and valleys of the small business, entrepreneurial journey. They aren't just about the numbers - they are about smart growth, success and balance. If I could give 6 stars I would!

Give them a call and they can take care of all of your business and personal accounting and finance needs. Called Mike and he worked with us on a unique situation. He explained every step so that all of my questions were answered and made the process as understandable as possible. Easy as can be. Great Job Mike!
