Senter Forward: Elevating Your Business Accounting and Tax Compliance with Advisory Services

Are you looking for more out of your CPA firm? Monthly Client Accounting Services, Advisory and Consulting services to help you understand your accounting and discuss tax savings strategies, Payroll processing, Corporate or Partnership tax returns and Individual returns for the owner? Great! We have a great offering for you. We call it Senter Forward.

In the ever-evolving landscape of accounting and taxation, Senter CPA takes a bold step forward with our innovative approach—Senter Forward. It’s not just a subscription; it’s a commitment to providing you with unparalleled services and peace of mind.

The Traditional vs. Senter Forward Approach: A Paradigm Shift

Traditionally, clients engage with CPA firms on a transactional basis, seeking services as needed. Senter Forward challenges this norm by introducing a monthly flat fee service model that seamlessly integrates all our services. Gone are the days of piecemeal accounting solutions; with Senter Forward, you get comprehensive support month after month.

What we are trying to accomplish with Senter Forward is a full-service solution to ensure you get the time in front of your accountants and fully integrate them into your TEAM. We hear far too often that business owners don’t get the time with their accountants to address questions, understand their accounting practices, how to make them better or discuss tax savings strategies.

The Power of Predictability: Monthly Flat Fees Unveiled

One of the key advantages of Senter Forward is predictability. With a fixed monthly fee, clients gain a clear understanding of their financial commitments. No surprises, no hidden costs – just a straightforward, transparent partnership that allows you to plan your budget effectively.

These typically include annual maintenance services (tax, accounting, payroll) and advisory services (annual tax review, tax planning, tax projections, meetings, client communications via email and phone).

We want to be sure you have access to us and pulse on your business in a timely manner.

All-Inclusive Services: Your Complete Accounting, Advisory and Tax Compliance Solution

Senter Forward isn’t just a subscription; it’s an all-encompassing package. From tax planning and preparation to financial consulting and advisory support, our monthly fee covers it all. Imagine the ease of having your financial needs met without the hassle of individual service requests.

Tailored to Your Needs: Customizable Packages

Recognizing that each client is unique, Senter Forward offers customizable packages. Whether you’re a small or large business owner seeking full service CPA guidance, we have a  plan that aligns with your specific needs.

Senter Forward in Action: Realizing the Benefits

Experience the Senter Forward advantage firsthand. Our clients enjoy proactive financial management, timely insights, and the flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances. It’s not just about staying ahead; it’s about being Senter Forward in your financial journey.

How It Works

The first thing we do is have a meeting, typically 30 minutes to an hour, to discuss your wants and services needed from your accounting team. We then develop a proposal that we would review with you in a follow-up meeting to discuss the costs and specifics that the services would entail over a 12-month period.

Implementation: After we agree to the services and costs, we would get started setting up the processes to streamline and implement the agreed upon services in a timely manner. This ensures timely accounting reports, timely tax filings and appropriate meetings and advisory services to ensure we minimize any tax exposure to you.
