Frequently asked questions

Hiring outside financial help can be daunting. Here’s what you should know.

How do I know if my business is ready for outside accounting help?

If you’re spending a ton of time reconciling accounts, missing tax deadlines, or worrying about your cash flow, it’s time to talk. We find most businesses need professional help when bookkeeping starts cutting into the time they’d be spending with customers or you’re unsure if your business is actually profitable. Don’t wait until the frenzy of tax season forces your hand— we can help you get ahead anytime.

Where are your employees based?

The entire Archer Lewis team is based right here in the United States. We give you multiple ways to work with us— local offices where you can meet your financial partner face-to-face, the flexibility of remote services, and any combination of the two. Our network of local offices continues to grow across the country, but no matter where you’re located, you’ll always work with a dedicated team of US-based professionals who understand your business environment and local tax regulations. You can expect quick responses during US business hours from professionals who understand your needs. Whether you prefer stopping by our office for a coffee and consultation or handling everything remotely, we’ve got you covered.

What’s the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant and how do I know which one I need?

Think of bookkeepers as your day-to-day financial partners — they’ll track expenses, reconcile accounts, and keep your records in order.

Accountants are more like financial strategists who help with tax planning, business growth, and bigger financial decisions. Many of our clients start with bookkeeping and add accounting services as they grow. We’re happy to assess your needs and recommend the right mix of support for your business.

How much does a small business accountant or bookkeeper cost?

We understand cost is a major consideration for small businesses. While prices vary based on your needs and the complexity of your finances, most of our clients find our service quickly pays for itself. Rather than focusing just on cost, we’ll help you understand the return on investment — from time saved to tax savings identified — and come up with a plan that fits your budget and business goals.

Can an accountant help me reduce my tax bill?

While we can’t promise specific savings, we’ve helped many small business owners keep more of what they earn through proactive tax planning. By working with us year-round — not just at tax time — we can help identify deductions you might be missing, suggest the ideal timing for expenses, and plan ahead to minimize your tax burden. Paying taxes is inevitable, but overpaying isn’t. We’ll help make sure you’re taking advantage of the tax benefits available to your business.

Do I need an accountant if I use QuickBooks?

While QuickBooks is a great tool, it’s just that — a tool. While QuickBooks can track your transactions, we help you understand the story behind the numbers. Our team makes sure you’re using QuickBooks correctly (we often find costly setup mistakes), helps you interpret financial reports, and turns those numbers into actionable strategies. Having QuickBooks doesn’t replace the strategic guidance of a professional accountant. We’re here to help you get the most out of your software while keeping your business on track for growth.

What questions should I ask before hiring an accountant or bookkeeper?

Finding the right financial partner is crucial for your business’s success. Before making your decision, we recommend asking potential accountants about their experience with businesses in your industry, their communication style, and their approach to client service. You’ll want to understand how often you’ll meet, who’ll be your main contact, and what response time to expect for questions.

The right fit is about more than just numbers — you need someone who can explain complex topics in plain English and truly understand your business goals. At Archer Lewis, we encourage you to ask us about our team’s qualifications, our security measures for your sensitive data, and most importantly, how we’ll help your business thrive. After all, we’re not just here to balance your books — we’re here to help you grow your business.

My business receipts and records are a mess — can an accountant still help me?

Don’t worry — we’ve seen it all, from shoeboxes full of receipts to years of missing statements. We’ll help you get organized without judgment. Our team can work with you to sort through your records, set up efficient systems for the future, and get your books back on track. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can help you tame the chaos and make sure your business stays organized.
