TADAccounting Information

TAD, an online full service accounting company, grew out of the innovative work of Lance and Deanna Gildea. The Gildea's believe that great ideas and entrepreneurial skills get a business started. Good financial management keeps the business going. All too often businesses don't survive because they are not up to the challenge of financial analysis and decision making. Online outsourced accounting barely existed in 1995 when the GIldea's began TADAccounting. They realized that many businesses would benefit from easy access to full service online accounting. The few companies that did provide an online accounting service tended to focus on payroll and accounts receivable/payable. Lance and Deanna understood that small to medium size businesses struggle just to afford a bookkeeper, much less CPA services. They knew an online full service accounting product was the ticket for these businesses. Once accounting services are handled effectively, the client can focus on the core business. For less than the cost of a bookkeeper, TADAccounting made it possible for even the smallest business to have the same quality accounting services as a larger competitor. Lance, who managed the technology side of the company, created a custom designed platform that allowed each client to use his or her preferred software. The Gildea's innovative work was recognized by Accounting Today who put them on the cover of the January, 2000 issue. Inside was a feature article about TADAccounting. They were recognized as Pioneers of the Virtual Future. While Lance worked on new technology projects, Deanna grew TADAccounting into a successful, totally virtual company. The accounting and bookkeeping staff work at home in locations across the country. Record keeping is all online. Deanna has no file cabinets in her office. In 2008, as part of their growth strategy, TADAccounting formed a partnership with Outsourced Financials LLC, owned by Scott Powell, CPA, PFS. Together Scott and Deanna created TAD. They continue to custom design and deliver online accounting services to businesses of all types and size. TAD is owned by Accounticus, LLC.
