For over 14 years, Missy Snyder of Best Kept Books, has been helping small business owners identify, understand and manage their cash flow so that they can make day-to-day operational decisions and/or transformative changes to grow their businesses. She also helps her customers avoid fines and penalties by ensuring timely and accurate submission of sales taxes, quarterly taxes and withholding.

 

Over the years, she noticed that many accounting firms, and independent financial consultants, had moved away from providing bookkeeping and operational financial management services and were solely focused on tax preparation. This shift in service offering left many new small business owners in the position of figuring things out for themselves and doing their best to get by until tax season rolled around. As a result, many entrepreneurs had no idea what the financial health of their business truly was. When meeting with clients for the first time, Missy found that they were often dealing with shoe-boxes overflowing with receipts, manual invoice generation and tracking, and sizable penalties and late fees!
