Accounting

Accurate, timely financial information. Meaningful, well-organized financial records can help you run your business more efficiently on a daily basis. Lettinga & Associates will prepare:

Financial Statements that quantitatively describe the financial health of your company.
Income Statements that show the flow of money through your company, for sales, expenses, and net profit for specified periods.
Balance Sheets that provide a comprehensive summary of your company’s financial condition at a specific point in time, including assets, liabilities and net worth.

Lettinga & Associates can help you manage and analyze the financial information you need to make informed, critical business decisions. If you wish to maintain your own system, we can train you on in-house software (QuickBooksPro, Quicken, Peachtree, others) and review your records at agreed-upon intervals.

Tax Planning and Preparation

Taxation expertise and knowledge all year long, not just at tax time. Tax planning should be a key part of your overall business strategy. Lettinga & Associates keeps current on tax laws and legislation. We are able to identify key tax planning opportunities and recommend tax-saving strategies that can reduce your tax liabilities – now and in the future. Lettinga & Associates accurately and efficiently prepares tax returns for various types of entities including individuals, corporations, partnerships, trusts, estates, and not-for-profit organizations, and serves as your advocate and legal representative in all tax matters.

Cafeteria Plans

Win/Win for employers and employees. Would you like to enhance your employee benefit package and lower your payroll taxes? You can do both, with a cafeteria plan. Whether you have 2 employees or 200, you can take advantage of this flexible savings account.

Through pre-tax payroll deductions, employees can pay for insurance premiums, unreimbursed medical expenses and child/dependent care.
Your employees save on Social Security, City, State and Federal income tax.
You save because the lower adjusted gross also lowers the matching taxes.
