The biggest difference between Tall Oak Advisors and local accounting firms is expertise.  Most accounting firms are “jack of all trade” type of firms, where they will have clients in multiple industries.  That’s right, the same person working on Suzy’s Nail Salon, John’s Trucking Service, Bob’s Construction Company, and Anna’s Sandwich Shop is working on your eCommerce business.  Let’s be honest here – eCommerce is tricky and there are a lot of moving parts.  They just don’t understand your business.  We do.  Both of our founders have operated eight-figure eCommerce businesses.  We know the eCommerce industry better than your local accounting firm, which means we can spot inaccuracies others can’t.  In addition, we know where to look to find the missing money and improve profitability.

There are many other reasons to choose Tall Oak Advisors over a local accounting firm:

  • We have multiple people on our team that can work on your account.  When your local accountant or bookkeeper goes on vacation, is sick, or is overwhelmed with work – your financials are not done in a timely manner. This means you can’t make decisions quick enough, which costs you money.  Your sales taxes might not get paid on time, and the reports you need for the bank aren’t ready.  Absolute chaos!
  • Our bookkeeping team is comprised of Quickbooks Certified ProAdvisors and Accounting Coach Certificate Recipients.  How much training has your local bookkeeper gone through?  You want everything to be rock solid in your business.  Our team goes through rigorous training before they ever touch your business.  The person doing your books locally might have spent 3 hours on Youtube to figure out bookkeeping.
  • We focus on making you more profitable.  Most CPAs only focus on the numbers.  They make sure the numbers are right for tax purposes, but give business owners minimal value outside of compliance.  Not only do we make sure the numbers are right, but we also look for ways to improve the profitability of your business.
