FAQ

How does outsourcing our bookkeeping with Leap Access work?

First, we will meet with your company owners/financial stakeholders to perform a detailed assessment so we gain a full understanding of your bookkeeping and reporting processes and requirements. After the assessment, we will provide an analysis report to help facilitate and evaluate the purpose and extent of our engagement with you. Once both parties have agreed upon the services Leap Access will provide, we will present an engagement agreement.

How much does it cost to outsource bookkeeping?

Because we offer flexible, personalized bookkeeping solutions and services, we try to find a fee structure that works best for your business and budget. Fees will vary based on what you need help with but our clients generally find the cost of our services less expensive than hiring an employee to provide the level and quality of work we provide. We invite you to call us at 972-524-0932 or send us a message online so we can talk with you about your vision.

What benefits can we expect by outsourcing our bookkeeping with Leap Access?

Outsourcing part or all of your bookkeeping to our experienced professionals provides many benefits over managing your books in house. You gain additional expertise and guidance, particularly helpful for advanced and complex bookkeeping needs that your staff may not have the experience to handle. You gain confidence that processing is always on time, your data is accurate and accounts are continuously monitored and reconciled to prevent errors. Additionally, we will give you more insight than you’ve ever had into your business so you know where you stand today and can better forecast your future.

What accounting software does Leap Access use to manage our accounting?

Leap Access can provide bookkeeping services and certified expertise on both Intacct and QuickBooks. Intacct is likely a better solution if you have extensive reporting needs, multiple steps in a workflow, multiple entities or other requirements that may be discovered during the client assessment. If maintaining your accounting on QuickBooks works and is important to you, we will move your company file into a hosted service environment so you gain the convenience of remote access.

Can we purchase Intacct software through Leap Access?

While Leap Access does not directly sell Intacct software as a standalone solution, as an Intacct Authorized IAP Partner, we are authorized by Intacct to offer our bookkeeping services on the Intacct platform. The Intacct subscription cost is bundled with our services. We can make it easy and convenient to get started. Ask us how to unify your financial management with Leap Access and Intacct.

How will my data and confidential information be protected?

The privacy and security of your data and confidential information is of utmost importance to us. Your Engagement Agreement will address the confidentiality policies and procedures with Leap Access. You can learn more about Intacct security here or find information on our preferred QuickBooks hosting service here.

Can you manage our third-party billing system?

Yes! Not only can we help you setup, manage and process your payables and receivables through applications like Bill.com and other third-party billing solutions, in many cases we can help integrate even specialized billing systems and data with Intacct.

Do you process and manage payroll?

Leap Access does not offer payroll services at this time, but we can help you make sure your payroll data is properly recorded in your accounting system. We can also make suggestions on payroll services with existing integrations.

Do you provide tax preparation services?

Leap Access does not prepare business tax filings, but we do provide ongoing reconciliation and detailed reporting so come tax time (and all year round) your tax preparer or CPA is fully informed with accurate and well-organized information and reports. We are happy to work closely with you and your tax professional to determine any unique tax and reporting requirements and ensure approved parties have anytime, anywhere access to information. We strive to make tax time a breeze for you and your CPA!
