Frequently Asked Questions
-
We begin with the level of review appropriate to the work.
For ongoing accounting, that may be a straightforward setup review. For clean-up or due diligence, we look more closely at the books before setting scope, timing, and price.
The goal is to base the engagement on the records that actually exist.
-
It depends on how far behind the records are and how complex the structure is.
A simple backlog may take a few weeks. A more involved reconstruction can take several months.
Once we review the books, we can give you a realistic range based on the work required.
-
Yes, when there is a genuine U.S.-side financial need.
That may include an existing U.S. subsidiary, active U.S. expansion, or another U.S.-based operating requirement.
Accullent’s work is U.S.-side and English-language. Home-country accounting and local-language services remain with the appropriate professionals in that market.
-
It depends on the situation.
Some clients use Accullent for the full accounting function. Others keep their existing bookkeeper, Controller, or CPA and bring us in for additional capacity, senior financial support, or a specific project such as clean-up or due diligence.
For professional firms, we typically work alongside the existing client relationship.
-
Most engagements run in QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, or the system the business already uses.
Where practical, we work within the existing environment rather than introducing a platform change.
A less familiar system may require a short orientation period at the beginning of the engagement.
-
There is no fixed revenue or employee minimum.
The business simply needs enough transaction volume, complexity, or financial-management need for structured support to make sense.
If we’re not the right fit for what you need, we’ll be upfront about that.
-
Access is limited to what the engagement requires.
Client records and financial information are handled confidentially and are not shared or referenced outside the engagement.
-
Pricing depends on the actual volume and complexity of the work.
For ongoing engagements, we review transaction volume, account structure, and reporting needs before establishing a recurring fee. Clean-up and due diligence work is typically scoped as a project after we review the records.
A short initial conversation is usually enough to determine the next step.
-
You will hear back within one business day. We will ask a few questions about the current setup, and if it looks like a good fit, we will schedule a short call to go over specifics.
