Step in MK&A, for a flat fee they would handle my bookeeping and accounting monthly. My company also retails technological equipment, which of course meant tracking sales tax and a whole other arm of something I just didn’t have the gift for doing. Now, MK&A handles my quarterlies, sales tax, bank reconciliations and more. I have used MK&A for a few years now and I am enthusiastically satisfied with the results.
