Bookkeeping

Challenges

  • Underserved by a large firm: The client felt like a small fish in a large pond. Their previous firm managed hundreds of clients, and their account did not receive the attention or priority it required.
  • Delayed communication and lack of feedback: Bookkeeping questions were met with delayed or unclear responses, and the client received little to no feedback on improving their processes.
  • High staff turnover: Frequent staff changes at the accounting firm meant there was little continuity or institutional knowledge of the client’s specific file, industry, or preferences.

The Solution

Purpose CPA delivered a leaner, more attentive bookkeeping solution without requiring a complete systems overhaul:

  • Smooth transition with no downtime: Already using QuickBooks Online, Wagepoint, and Dext, the client was able to switch bookkeeping providers with no need for data migration or platform onboarding.
  • Dedicated and experienced team: Purpose CPA assigned a dedicated bookkeeper to handle the account consistently and build institutional knowledge over time. A supervising CPA was also assigned to manage more complex bookkeeping items and ensure review-level oversight.
  • Clear division of service: The client chose to retain their original firm for corporate tax preparation due to existing relationships and complexity. Purpose CPA ensured seamless collaboration by preparing complete and organized year-end documentation for the tax team.
  • Cost-effective pricing with value-added features: Purpose CPA’s monthly bookkeeping fee included the cost of software subscriptions, providing better overall value with no unexpected add-ons.

Impact

  • Better communication and accountability: The client experienced faster response times, clearer bookkeeping oversight, and a collaborative working relationship with their assigned team.
  • Stronger continuity: With consistent staff on the file, Purpose CPA was able to understand the client’s operations in detail, reducing errors and improving turnaround times.
  • Scalable partnership: The client gained a bookkeeping partner who could adapt to their growth and evolving needs, while still integrating with their preferred tax advisors.

Conclusion

For fast-moving tech companies, clear communication and consistent support matter just as much as technical accuracy. By switching to Purpose CPA, this startup found a bookkeeping partner that could offer tailored service, institutional memory, and practical collaboration—all without changing platforms or disrupting internal operations.
