The Importance Of A CGMA Certification For Your CPA

Those who endeavor to earn their CGMA title have
decided to commit to a system of financial integrity
and fiscal responsibility that greatly benefit business.

The CGMA certification is a honor that can be bestowed on a Certified Public Accountant who passes the stringent qualifying exam.

The designation was the merger between the London based Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and  the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and was created to foster an understanding of the  vital  role accounting and financial institutions play in world economics.  The institutions also wanted to set in place a universally accepted quality gradient for an ever growing economically assimilated world.

The CGMA will also be heralded as something of a gold standard that small to  large companies can towards for when seeking business services.  This means that when a client utilizes the services of a CPA or CFO who has a CGMA designation, they can rest assured that:

• The accountant has passed a strict qualifying exam that is backed by AICPA-CIMA, two of largest financial governing bodies in the world.
• One can rest assured that CPA'S  and other certified accounting and business managers with the CGMA certification have to adhere to required codes of ethics and conduct.
• People who earned this certification take their jobs seriously and thus, will attempt to provide customers with top notch financial services.

CFO Ghassan Ghraizi received
the CGMA designation.
ATLANTA, GA (FEB  2011)  

In other words, those who endeavor to earn their CGMA title have decided to commit to a system of financial integrity and fiscal responsibility that greatly benefit business.

Ghassan R. Ghraizi of GBC SERVICES LLC has taken a step towards that level of care and commitment by recently earning his Chartered Global Management Accountant designation.

The Time to Outsource your Accounting Services is NOW.....

Don't wait until the last minute to
outsource your business accounting services.

PUT YOUR MIND AT EASE AND OUTSOURCE YOUR BUSINESS ACCOUNTING SERVICES TO FREE UP YOUR WORKLOAD AS A BUSINESS OWNER.

When running a business, not only must you focus on the sales and marketing to grow and expand,  but it is very important to make sure the book keeping is well managed. Many business owners choose to manage their own accounting services with a mind set to save money, but there are a few benefits to having a local accounting service such as GBC Atlanta Tax Services.

As a business owner, the #1 factor is finding time to manage all of your daily task. When outsourcing your finances, you are benefiting from an outside source of knowledge. You will have 24/7 access to a reputable financial advisor and a expert accountant will be there when it counts by providing the following:

• Complete your bookkeeping/invoicing
• Payroll
• Provide end of the month/year financial report

Typically when you hire a tax accountant, they will charge more for the hourly rate due to your book of business being mis-managed. A tax accountant would spend more time piecing together the financial facts which cuts into your wallet.

Outsourcing your accounting for your business will also cut down on tax preparation fees. 

Transferring your business accounting to a local accounting service company such as GBC Atlanta Tax Services would have your business files up to date and in order, charging less of a fee when filing your small business taxes.

By outsourcing your accounting services, as a business owner you will have more time on your hands. Right now is the time to focus more on your sales and growth.

Time is extremely valuable as a business owner, so outsourcing your account services is vital to the growth of your company.

Income Tax Preparation Organization Tips

Keep your sanity!
Hire an Atlanta
Income Tax
Professional

Even if you have someone taking care of your tax preparations for you, there are things that you can to do to ensure that the process will be as smooth as possible.

Here are a few tips for residents of Georgia. Income tax preparation will be a cinch with these simple organizing techniques.

• Start early – Tax prepares continue to get busier as April 15th draws closer. You can expedite the whole process of getting your taxes completed by having your paperwork together early. See your tax preparer in February or early March when their hair hasn't started getting grayer by the day yet. You will get the best quality work when your preparers mind isn't on the pile of paperwork they have to get to after they are done with yours.
• Necessary Information – Numbers like Social Security numbers and Tax Payer ID numbers are essential. Make sure to have these compiled, so you won't have to scrounge around for them when your tax preparer asks you for them.
• Folders – If you show up with a shoe box full of receipts, your tax preparer will not be happy. They may not even want to do your taxes for you. If they do, you definitely won't get a good price. If you show up with a folder with multiple pockets, and everything divided into its own category, you are sure to get prompt service at a reasonable price. It only takes a few minutes for you to sort everything, since it is your paperwork. It's a much bigger ordeal for the preparer, and they will want to be well paid for the extra effort.
• Prior Taxes – Don't forget to include a copy of last years tax forms. These can help your preparer to get things done even more quickly by giving them a basis to start with. It will also help them to give you a better estimate of how much your tax prep will cost this year.

If you follow these few simple steps, you will be making your tax preparation process much smoother. 

Your tax preparer will appreciate it, and so will your wallet and your sanity.

Questions for Residents of Atlanta, GA : Income Tax Preparation Essentials

Choose an Atlanta Certified
Public Accountant for your
Income Tax needs.

Obviously, if you are seeking help on your taxes, you want to be sure that the person who is helping you knows what they are doing. First of all, you are paying them and probably a decent fee. Secondly, you want the peace of mind that comes from knowing your taxes have been prepared correctly.

Yes, for residents of Atlanta, GA, income tax preparation help may be available in abundance, but these are the questions you can arm yourself with to ensure that will get the help you need. 

Here are 6 topics to discuss before you chose your preparer.

• Tax ID Number – A real tax preparer will have one and will not be offended that you asked. It shows you are in the know, since all tax preparers who charge for their services must have such a number.
• Training/Experience – What makes this particular preparer well qualified to take care of your taxes? There are exams on both the state and federal level for tax preparers. Make sure yours has passed them and is up to date. You should also look for someone with a good amount of experience, including experience in many types of tax situations and issues that could arise. Is the preparer continuing to seek out education to stay up to date on the ever changing tax laws?
• E-Filing – You are trying to make the process of filing your taxes as painless as possible. Using a preparer who can file your taxes electronically takes yet one more step out of the process and reduces the chance of mistakes. If you are getting a refund, this will expedite that process.
• Estimate – How much is this going to cost you? There may be some things that come up in the preparation process that were not discussed beforehand, but in general the preparer should have a pretty good idea of what the final price will be based off of what you tell them about your taxes. If you are expecting a big refund, don't let the preparer convince you to let them have a cut. Make them set a fee.
• What if you get audited? - If your paid preparer is a CPA or an EA then they should be able to help you in case the IRS decides to audit you. You won't get the same service from a tax preparation chain. They can give you advice that may be of assistance, but they cannot represent you. So if you get your taxes done at a chain and then get audited, you will have to hire someone else to help you anyway.

Income Tax Preparation Should Be Left to the Pros - Atlanta Payroll Services by GBC Services

Let GBC Services, Inc.
File Your Taxes Electronically

If you find filling out your income taxes is a daunting task, you are by no means alone.

There are plenty of local places in Atlanta, GA income tax preparation can be performed at. You just need to find the one that works for you--call GBC. 

This is the bane of many a worker's year. But it doesn't have to be a miserable experience. Having the right people to help you can make a world of difference when it comes to taxes.


Make sure they can file your taxes electronically, so there is little for you to do. Also, check on the abilities of the paid preparers that are hired at the company. Can they handle difficult scenarios? Where did they learn to prepare taxes?

How much can you expect to pay to have your taxes handled? Several factors can affect the price. First of all, the degree of experience that the preparer has may affect their base fee. Often what you pay for is what you get, so better to shell out a little bit more for good service and peace of mind. Another factor is the size of the business that you operate. If it is just you and some expense receipts, you will obviously pay less than if you have several employees and operate multiple companies.

You usually have 4 levels of tax preparer to choose from.

• CPA – This will be the most expensive option since they have the most training. Being a CPA, however, does not make someone a good tax preparer automatically, so be sure to ask if this particular certified public accountant can supply you with what you need.
• EA – An enrolled agent is someone who is trained to prepare taxes. They differ from a CPA by not having the same variety of training. The only way to become an EA is to either pass several tests or to have actually worked with the IRS for a period of years. This makes them very qualified to help you.
• Tax Preparation Chain – These places will usually be able to prepare your taxes cheaper, but may not be able to help as much if you have a lot of questions or some tricky things to deal with. Watch out for hidden fees if your taxes are not very straightforward. A little something will be tacked on for everything they have to do in addition to just standard tax paperwork.
• Free – How can you get your tax preparation done for free? If you didn't have very much income or are a senior, you may be able to get some free help with your taxes. Check around to see if you qualify.

Be prepared for next tax year!

All together, the IRS posted more than 40 updates in 2015.

*These are adjustments to be used for 2015 taxes, to be prepared in 2016, not what you would use to prepare your taxes now from the year that just ended.*

If you want to get a headstart for next year, this is a very good summary. If some of the changes look familiar, it's because they match up with predictions by Bloomberg BNA earlier this year! All taxpayers will see a slight bump in their standard deduction, and the personal exemption amount also goes up.

See upcoming changes in:

• Tax brackets
• Standard deductions
• Itemized deductions
• Personal exemptions

And also:

• Family-related tax item updates
• Education-related updates
• Healthcare and fringe benefit updates

The Benefits of An External Audit

Evaluate your system accurately!

In an external audit, expect that professional accountants will interview the owner, discuss the accounting system and test the company's accounting information and procedures.

External audits offer several benefits for small business owners:

• Providing ValidityMany small business owners do not have an in-depth understanding of accounting principles.  Professional accountants can review this information objectively and thoroughly and provide business owners with insight on the accuracy and validity of the accounting process. Valid accounting information can help business owners secure external financing from lenders and investors, and is also pleasing to the IRS.
  
• Uncovering ErrorsBusiness owners can use external audits to discover errors in their accounting process. Errors in accounting information may prohibit managerial staff from making the best decisions. Business owners can also find it difficult to review historical financial information and discover trends if errors are in place. Trends allow business owners to plan future production output and estimate sales for the upcoming months.
  
• Limiting Tax and Legal IssuesLegal issues arise when business owners provide inaccurate or fraudulent accounting information to lenders, investors and the general public. Overstating income, inventory value or other items can significantly increase the amount of taxes owed by the company. Small businesses organized as a sole proprietorship also need accurate accounting information since income will be reported on a personal income tax return. Inaccurate accounting information can trigger a personal and business tax return audit.
  
• Educating the Business OwnerBusiness owners often work closely with external auditors to improve their accounting process. External auditors will provide business owners with information on current accounting issues. Public accounting firms may also provide business owners with free educational seminars to improve their accounting process. Creating a personal relationship with a public accounting firm provides business owners with professional insight for future accounting questions.

What is the Objective of an External Audit and What Standards are Required?

Weigh the fairness of your financials
with an objective assessment by an
external auditor and gain credibility.

An audit is a systematic process of objectively obtaining and evaluating the accounts or financial records of a governmental, business, or other entity. Whereas some businesses rely on audits conducted by employees—these are called internal audits—others utilize external or independent auditors to handle this task (some businesses rely on both types of audits in some combination).

The primary objective of the external audit is to add credibility to the financial statements of the management.

The role of the external auditor is to render an independent professional opinion on the fairness of financial statements to the extent that is required by generally accepted auditing standards. External audits are often used by smaller businesses that do not have the resources or inclination to maintain internal audit systems.

The auditing process is based on standards, concepts, procedures, and reporting practices that are primarily imposed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). AICPA general standards and standards of field work declare that:

• External audits should be performed by a person or persons having adequate technical training and proficiency as an auditor.
• The auditor or auditors maintain complete independence in all matters relating to the assignment.
• The independent auditor or auditors should make sure that all aspects of the examination and the preparation of the audit report are carried out with a high standard of professionalism.
• The work is to be adequately planned and assistants, if any, are to be properly supervised.
• Independent auditors will carry out proper study and evaluation of the existing internal controls to determine their reliability and suitability for conducting all necessary auditing procedures.
• External auditors will make certain that they are able to review all relevant evidential materials, whether obtained through inspection, observation, inquiries, or confirmation, so that they can form an informed and reasonable opinion regarding the quality of the financial statements under examination.

The ABC's of an External Audit

A very wise step for any business is
to choose an external auditing team.

An audit is a systematic process
of objectively obtaining and evaluating the accounts or financial records of a governmental, business, or other entity. Whereas some businesses rely on audits conducted by employees—these are called internal audits—others utilize external or independent auditors to handle this task (some businesses rely on both types of audits in some combination). External auditors are authorized by law to examine and publicly issue an opinion on the reliability of corporate financial reports.

The business of external auditing
is to determine the extent to which the organization adheres to managerial policies, procedures, and requirements. The independent or external auditor is not an employee of the organization. He or she performs an examination and issues a report containing an opinion on a client's financial statements. During the course of an audit study, the external auditor also becomes well-acquainted with the virtues and flaws of the client's accounting procedures. As a result, the auditor's final report to management often includes recommendations on methodologies of improving internal controls that are in place.

The compliance audit,
the financial statements audit, and the operational audit are among the major types of audits conducted by external auditors. A compliance audit has as its objective the determination of whether an organization is following established procedures or rules. A financial statement audit (or attest audit) examines financial statements, records, and related operations to ascertain adherence to generally accepted accounting principles. An operational audit examines an organization's activities in order to assess performances and develop recommendations for improvements, or further action.

State Business Tax Climate Index 2015

How does your state rank?

While taxes are a fact of life, not all tax systems are created equal. One measure, total taxes paid, is relevant, but other elements of a state tax system can also enhance or harm the competitiveness of a state’s business environment. This Index boils down fifty complicated state business tax systems into one easy-to-use ranking.

While there are many ways to show how much is collected in taxes by state governments, the Index is designed to show how well states structure their tax systems, and provides a road-map to improving these structures.

The index enables people to gauge how their states' tax systems compare.

Here is a highlight, which shows the five best and worst states in the index this year:

Best:

1. Wyoming
2. South Dakota
3. Nevada
4. Alaska
5. Florida

Worst:

1. New Jersey
2. New York
3. California
4. Minnesota
5. Vermont

Outsource Your Payroll and Reduce Costs for Your Expanding Small Business!

Save money for your growing
business by outsourcing payroll.

Consider the amount of time you and your employees spend on payroll-related activities. 

And don’t forget expenses such as the cost of printing checks, computer software, training and support. Outsourcing your payroll functions will most likely save you money because your payroll provider will handle all of these things for you.

Many professional payroll providers offer packages for small employers starting as low as $50 per month.

Aside from the obvious tremendous time-save to your business, you will also be able to:

• Avoid IRS penalties.Penalties for errors, omissions or late payroll tax filings can be very costly. Many outsourced payroll providers will calculate payroll taxes, manage filings and payments and will assume the cost of penalties due to incorrect calculations or late payments so long as you provide the necessary information and funds on time. Keeping abreast of state, federal, local and industry-specific regulation changes can be at best a real challenge. A reputable outsourced payroll provider has a staff dedicated to keeping up to date on all of the changes that could affect your payroll, ensuring that you stay in compliance.
• Expand payment methods.
  In addition to printing and shipping checks directly to your door, most payroll companies also offer the convenience and security of direct deposit services. Because pay is deposited directly into your employees’ accounts, having to put a stop payment on a lost paycheck and reissue it becomes a thing of the past. Many payroll providers also offer a paycard service for unbanked employees, usually at little or no cost to the employer.
• Eliminate payroll pain and worry.
  With the help of a professional payroll service provider, the hassle and pain often associated with processing payroll is gone! You provide the basic information, and your payroll company takes care of the rest. And with guarantees of error-free payroll and tax filings and payments, you can eliminate the worry that many experience when it comes to paying employees and taxes correctly and on time.

One cannot take for granted how vital it is for a company to observe regulatory fiscal reporting measures required by agencies like the IRS.

The GBC Audit team is lead by Quickbooks ProAdvisor Ghassan R. Gharaizi, an experienced CPA who takes a nuanced, multifaceted approach to financial planning and assessment. Not satisfied with cookie cutter business paradigms, Gharaizi works very hard to make sure the auditing solutions he proposes for your company are indeed tailored to fit your needs.

Income Taxes - Nearly every state levies a business or corporate income tax. Your tax requirement depends on the legal structure of your business. For example, if your business is a Limited Liability Company (LLC), the LLC gets taxed separately from the owners, while sole proprietors report their personal and business income taxes using the same form.

Employment Taxes - In addition to federal employment taxes, business owners with employees are also responsible for paying certain taxes required by the state. All states require payment of state workers' compensation insurance and unemployment insurance taxes. The following states/territories also require a business to pay for temporary disability insurance:

• California
• Hawaii
• New Jersey
• New York
• Rhode Island
• Puerto Rico

Small Business Owners View Tax Laws as More Important than Actual Tax Paid

Hiring a Tax Professional will save
your business both time and money.

While most small business owners accept the amount of tax they pay, the paperwork accompanying those taxes and other regulatory requirements can cloud their view of the local business environment. Aside from economic conditions, small business owners' perception of the ease of compliance with licensing, regulatory, and tax regulations is the most important predictor of whether or not they considered a state or city friendly to their firms.

A recent survey asked over 12,000 small business owners to rate the degree to which their state or city was small-business friendly. Then it asked a series of questions about the specific business environment in their state or city. By comparing the answers, it found:

• The respondents' view of the performance of their state economy relative to the national economy was the most important factor in their rating of small-business friendliness.
• Those who were aware of training or networking programs offered by their state or local government were significantly more likely to say that their state or city was small-business friendly than those who were not aware such programs existed.
• While the ability to easily file taxes was an important consideration, the amount of taxes paid was not for the majority of small business owners.

The results are consistent with other research, which finds that policies that assist businesses with licensing, permitting, and tax filing; provide technical assistance to help firms grow; and provide well-targeted job training and education, are much more effective than tax incentives in promoting business development and economic growth.
