KJL Accounting Information

KJL Accounting is a home-based, sole proprietorship owned and operated by Kerri J. Law. KJL Accounting will generally operate Monday to Friday from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm. However, there will be no official office hours as no clients are expected to come to the home based office. Because no one needs to be at the office, the hours can be more flexible. Kerri will work evenings and weekends if necessary and will work her schedule around client needs. KJL Accounting is unique in that Kerri is willing to work either at her own office or the client's office. Depending on the client's needs and space, it maybe more efficient to work out of the client's office as that is where all the records are stored. As well, by working at the client's office, Kerri will be able to establish a rapport and a level of comfort and trust that may not be formed as easily without regular contact. Where the work is performed will ultimately be decided by the client. KJL Accounting prides itself on its convenient, client friendly service. KJL Accounting plans to concentrate on providing part-time Controller services to small businesses in Thunder Bay who may not need or cannot afford a full-time Controller or who require more accounting expertise than they can provide themselves. The businesses may be run by entrepreneurs who are not interested in doing the accounting or may just need better accounting and financial statements to satisfy their banks or their investors. A part-time controller provides bookkeeping services, but also provides additional services such as office management, policy development, training, financial statement preparation and management advice. KJL Accounting will focus on the client who needs part-time financial and management services so he or she can focus energies and budget on the things that make the client's business a success. By bringing in a part-time controller, the client can focus on growing his business full-time. These part-time controller services will most likely be required once weekly with potentially more time required at month end and year end, depending on the size of the business. KJL Accounting will become thoroughly familiar with each client's business so that the best services possible can be provided. KJL Accounting is also targeting small businesses that do not require the full service, part-time controller package. For these clients, Kerri may just do the bookkeeping and payroll or help prepare budgets or train staff how to use Simply Accounting or do a bank reconciliation. Additionally, KJL Accounting could be hired to write accounting or human resource policy manuals, act as a project manager, consult on employee benefit plans or to develop and implement internal controls. KJL Accounting is also interested in helping clients with their business start-ups. For most new businesses, a significant area of weakness is in gathering financial information. Kerri would help these entrepreneurs put together financial forecasts and cash flow statements for their business plans. She could also help newer businesses, already in operation, put together requests for financing from a lending institution. KJL Accounting offers a wide range of services. Please contact Kerri to find out what she can do for your business.
