The Sunderland Group Inc.

The success of your business depends on attracting and retaining new clients/customers and managing your financial affairs appropriately. You are running your own business because you love what you do, and getting paid to do it is even better! However, financial management is probably not where you enjoy spending a lot of your time. Your business (and the government!) demands a lot of your time and energy to ensure that you maintain accurate records and file various reports on time. As a business owner your time is best spent generating sales, prospecting for new business opportunities, improving your products and services, and servicing your current clients/customers. Partner with TSG and let us be your financial manager, allowing you to spend your time more productively.

Why is financial management so important? If you are serious about running a successful business you need to manage your finances properly, which requires accurate accounting data.

Here are a few key reasons:

• Business Decisions - As you operate and grow your business many questions will arise, for example:
• Are you growing your sales enough to meet your needs?
• Are you billing your clients/customers for your sales? Are you collecting?
• Are you paying your bills on time and avoiding additional fees?
• Can you afford a new employee?
• Are you controlling your expenses?

Accurate and reliable data will help you answer these questions.

• Cash Flow – Managing your books correctly will allow you to accurately project your cash flow needs. If your business is growing you may need additional funds to help support this growth.

  To obtain the necessary financing, you will need to prove that you are a good risk. Lenders will need to review your current and previous financial statements – you will need accurate and consistent accounting to produce reliable statements.

• Tax Law Compliance – our federal, state, and local governments want their money! You are required to comply with all applicable tax laws, and this requires accurate and timely submission of sales taxes, payroll taxes, property taxes, and income taxes. Failure to do so – accurately and timely – can cost you a lot of money. These taxes are based on the numbers in your books.
