We go beyond accounting for inventory by helping businesses implement inventory management solutions including e-commerce, sales taxes, analytics and more.

Inventory Management

Managing and understanding inventory is an important factor to the success of e-commerce, retail and wholesale businesses. A good inventory management software does much more than just keep track of what you keep on hand. It should simplify pricing, it should know when to buy, how much to buy, maintain proper stock levels, guide the business in logistics management, and automate functions like ordering. We help businesses put the right processes in place and help getting the right software in place so you can grow.

How do you price your services?

CPA firms price their services on either on an hourly rate or at a fixed price agreement.  The fixed price may have a contingency built-in for unforeseen additional work.  Tax return preparation are generally a fixed price.  Our accounting and virtual CFO/Controller services can be structured with a fixed price as well as most of our other services.

When will you bill me for your services?

Who will actually perform the work?

You can be assured that you’ll receive personalized service that helps you reach your goals. A CPA oversees all the work provided by our firm and we stress a review process on the work to ensure you are provided with the highest quality of service.

My old accountant has years of files. What happens to them?

CPA firms have record retention policies to follow for their clients.  You can request copies at any time within the time frame required to retain the records.  Since many firms now store most records electronically, transferring your files is simple.

Is my data safe?

Alto CPA Group, LLC. is committed to safeguarding your personal information. We reference AICPA’s recommendations, IRS and state regulations, and consult with information technology experts. The transfer of your information and files are encrypted through our client portal.

What is an engagement letter?

Often used by finance, accounting, law, and consulting firms, an engagement letter is a written agreement that outlines the details of a business relationship and/or services to be performed.  Once you have signed the engagement letter, it serves as an official contract where we agree to provide you with professional services in exchange for your payment.  We are happy to discuss any specific questions you may have about the engagement letter process.

I’m starting a new business. Can you help me?

Absolutely.  There are many steps to get a business up and running and we can guide and assist you every step of the way.  As we get to know you, your business, and your personal tax situation, we’ll discuss the type of business structure that will be most advantageous.  From there, we can provide guidance or assistance with additional registrations needed at the Federal, state, and local levels.  We are here to help you for many years to come.

I received a notice from the IRS. Can you help resolve this issue?

Please call us so we can put your mind at ease.  If it is an audit notice, do not talk to the tax authority without talking to us first.  If there is a section on the notice authorizing us to communicate with the taxing authority, please sign it and provide us with a complete copy of the notice so we can respond to the taxing authority in a way that best serves your needs.

What is a CPA and do I really need one to prepare my taxes?

A Certified Public Accountant (CPA) is required to take educational courses each year to maintain their license. They are licensed by their state, and are strictly bound by ethical standards.  The advantages of building a relationship with a CPA go beyond tax preparation as they are typically well versed in many aspects of today's business and technology.
