Make Your Numbers as Strong as Your Team, Talent & Relationships

It doesn’t matter if you own a small technology firm, hair salon, cleaning service, interior decorating service, or are a freelance marketing business – professional services firms and the service industry have a lot in common with their numbers. Past the number of appointments booked, timesheet entries, the common denominator is the same, hours worked = hours billed.

Because there isn’t always a price tag on a box, a sign at the counter, or a thorough project estimate and scope for every service, communicating costs in any service business can be a challenge. At EWH Small Business Accounting we work hard to be transparent in our pricing – unlike some of our competitors who simply quote you an hourly rate. We offer complimentary consultations, where you have the chance to tell us more about the financial challenges you face in your service business. We’ll review things like your cash flow, accounting, Quickbooks, and other software, and help you understand how we would provide service to your small business and the time we’ll invest – you’ll find the benefits far outweigh the costs.

Strategies for Financial Success in Service Industries

Whether you bill by the hour, the service, the appointment, or work on a commission basis, there are many financial challenges facing a service-oriented business:

  • Manage client service and financial tasks effectively.
  • Navigate accounts receivable, late payments, and collections.
  • Handle cost of goods sold, markup, tax, and payments efficiently.
  • Utilize financials for forecasting staffing and talent needs.
  • Address tax planning, quarterly taxes, and financing options.

And, most importantly, having the cash to make payroll and covering the high overhead of your talented team – your biggest asset doesn’t show up on the balance sheet!

“EWH has provided us with our accounting and payroll services for the last 8 years. We are very happy with the attention and services that they have provided. During 2020-2021 when our business went through a very challenging financial time their support and expertise was critical to help us through! We are thankful for Randy and the team that takes care of us.”

“EWH has been amazing! As small business owners, we were getting rather exhausted with our former accounting firms dropping the ball on items they were supposed to complete, taking forever to get things back to us and the constant lack of communication. We decided to make the move over to EWH and are so happy we did. The transition was smooth, communication has been great and the people we are working with are so wonderful! Liesel has been our accountant and main point of contact from the beginning, and she is truly fantastic! For the first time in years, we feel like we matter and are not just another number.”

“I have been a client of EWH and Debra Kurtz for many years, and I must say that the level of service I have received has been exceptional. Debra and the team at EWH have consistently demonstrated professionalism and provided valuable advice in managing my financials and payroll.

During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, Debra played a crucial role in securing loans and grants for our business, even before we were aware of the available resources. Her proactive approach and timely assistance truly saved our business.

Debra’s commitment to staying informed and up to date with the latest tax regulations and operational best practices have been invaluable to my business. What sets Debra apart is her genuine care and attention to detail when it comes to understanding and monitoring my business. She has gone above and beyond by proactively addressing any anomalies in our data and seeking explanations whenever necessary.

I wholeheartedly recommend EWH to any small business looking for dedicated professionals who truly care about the success of their clients. Thank you, Debra and the EWH team, for your unwavering support and expertise!”
