Virtual Accounting
Yep, that's right.
Virtual accounting. Efficient accounting. Paperless accounting.
It’s sort of where we got our name. We don’t want your boxes of receipts that have been stacked up in a dusty closet all year. These boxes rear their ugly heads every year anywhere between January and April 15th. They’re an accountant or CPA's worst nightmare and can put your tax return months behind schedule with all the entry and clean up that has to be done to even begin to form a picture of your business's financial situation. But there’s great news: We have a plan.
​

PaperLight is the name,
Accounting is our game
But here's what else we provide:
Clarity
Agility
Peace of Mind
But, why? The old way works just fine.
You're right. It does. Every year, you get yearly financial statements produced and your taxes are filed and paid, no matter how many times you have to file an extension. But we guarantee you, your business is being held back by the ways of the past. What is your exact profit for last month? How much did you spend on marketing in August this year vs. last year? Can you really afford that new work truck you're looking at? Running a business is hard. Running a business without up-to-date financial data is almost impossible. Sure, you always find a way to make it work. That's just who you are. But that constant knot in your stomach isn't going away anytime soon if nothing changes. It's time to take the leap.
​
But how? That's for us to figure out. We will do a deep dive into your business, accounting software, financial statements and taxes. Don't have an accounting software? We can set that up for you as well. We will then develop a full-blown accounting gameplan for your business, including any training that you need and cleanup of past books. Then we work for you. Your numbers are always up to date and you are able to use them to make smarter business decisions. We are YOUR accountant. Ask us anything about your numbers, and we will get you the answer.

Accurate, up-to-date accounting will make your business better. We guarantee it.
