Bookkeeping services in Spanish and English in Las Vegas, for your business

What you really need when you look for "an accountant"

Behind a search for "accountant near me" there are usually four different needs, and not all of them require the same professional:

• Keeping the books: recording income and expenses, reconciling the bank and knowing how much you really make.
• Payroll: paying your employees with their withholding and filing the reports.
• Taxes: preparing and filing your returns, both yours and your business's.
• Audited or reviewed financial statements: the ones a bank, an investor or a license sometimes asks for. Those are signed by a CPA.

The first three are what almost any small business needs, and they're what we do. For the fourth, we tell you up front and refer you to a CPA.

Why we don't call ourselves "accountants"

In Nevada, the title of certified public accountant (CPA) and holding yourself out to the public as an "accountant" are reserved for those who hold a permit from the state Board of Accountancy (NRS 628.450 and NRS 628.540). Francisco Camacho is not an accountant or a CPA: he is a bookkeeper, with the Intuit Bookkeeping Certification, and a tax return preparer registered with the IRS in the Annual Filing Season Program (AFSP). That's why we talk about bookkeeping services, and we tell you clearly what we do and what we don't.

What's included

Books kept current in QuickBooks

Recording income and expenses, categories designed for your return and rules so day-to-day work doesn't fall behind. More detail in QuickBooks and bookkeeping.

Bank reconciliation every month

So what QuickBooks says matches what the bank says. It's the proof that your numbers are real.

Payroll

Payments to employees, withholding and reports, connected to your books so everything ties out.

Tax preparation

Returns for you and for your LLC, S-Corp or partnership. More detail in tax preparation.

Reports for making decisions

A monthly summary of your money for internal use. Every report carries the notice that the person who prepares it does not hold a current permit from the Nevada State Board of Accountancy and that it does not purport to have been prepared in accordance with the professional standards of accounting adopted by the Board (NRS 628.510). They are not financial statements audited, reviewed or compiled by a CPA.

Who it's for

• Business owners looking for someone to handle their numbers in Spanish or English.
• Businesses with books that have fallen behind or a QuickBooks they no longer trust.
• Anyone who has employees or is about to hire and needs their payroll in order.
• Anyone who wants the same person looking at their books and their taxes all year long.

Who it's not for

We'd rather say it before you invest your time:

How it works

1. Free 15-minute consultation. We look at what you really need: bookkeeping, payroll, taxes or a CPA.
2. We bring your books up to date. If they're behind, they get organized first. It's the foundation for everything else.
3. Monthly operation. Recording, reconciliation, payroll and your summary for the month.
4. Taxes without the rush. With the books up to date, filing is a formality and you can plan during the year.

Frequently asked questions

Looking for a Spanish-speaking accountant near you?

We are not accountants or CPAs: Francisco is a bookkeeper and tax preparer. If what you need is to have your books, your payroll or your taxes handled in Spanish or English, we do that in Las Vegas and remotely across the U.S. If your case needs audited or reviewed financial statements, or representation before the IRS in an appeal or a collection matter, we tell you in the free consultation and refer you to the right professional.

What's the difference between an accountant, a CPA and a tax preparer?

In Nevada, holding yourself out as an "accountant" and using the CPA title are reserved for those who hold a permit from the state Board of Accountancy. A tax return preparer registered with the IRS, with a PTIN, can prepare returns for pay; a bookkeeper keeps the books. Francisco Camacho is a bookkeeper, with the Intuit Bookkeeping Certification, and a tax return preparer registered in the IRS Annual Filing Season Program; he is not an accountant or a CPA.

What bookkeeping services do you offer?

Books kept current in QuickBooks, monthly bank reconciliation, payroll, tax preparation for individuals and businesses, and a monthly summary of your money for internal use.

Can you prepare financial statements for the bank?

If the bank accepts statements prepared by the business, we can prepare them with the notice Nevada law requires when someone without a permit prepares them: that the person preparing them does not hold a permit from the Board of Accountancy and that they do not purport to follow its professional standards (NRS 628.510). If the bank asks for audited, reviewed or compiled statements with a CPA's report, those are signed by a CPA with a permit.

How much do bookkeeping services cost?

It depends on how many transactions you have, whether there's payroll and what shape your books are in. In the free 15-minute consultation we look at it and give you a fixed price.
