Atlanta CPA on Using QuickBooks as an Accounting Package

Evaluating a client’s financial statement a CPA can gain much guidance and information about a particular taxpayer. However there is no substitute for a CPA being keenly aware of all information that they receive from a client. For whatever type of attestation services, if any, a CPA is offered, they should bring to bear their full insight and wisdom. Therefore it is widely suggested that you work with a CPA who: 

Is a leader in the Business Community 

Is a Christian 

Graduated at the Top of Their Class 

Is Award Winning 

Gives Back to Those Less Fortunate

When helping a client critique their internal books, the below is a sample letter that we might share with a client to ensure that all of the information for their QuickBooks/Internal Financial Statements to ensure that a timely and correct return is prepared thereby ensuring that only the lowest legal possible tax is paid: 

In getting started on your 2010 Corporate Data I noticed that: 

Your Legal & Professional Fees, Cost of Goods Sold and Advertising Expenses fell dramatically from the 2009 amounts. Please review/advise. 

Your Travel Expenses this year was zero while last year was $2.0K. Please be sure that you have listed all business expenses that you company has legally incurred. 

Please forward to me  a copy of the W-2’s the company issued along with the W-3. 

In looking at your August Internal Books the numbers do not add up which means that our starting point inadvertently changed. Please be reminded that after you close your internal books are closed that you should not make any postings to any current periods. 

To help you with tracking of this in the future I have added a schedule so that you can roll forward the year to date profit from month to month reflecting the cumulative balance on the Profit and Loss and the B/S. If you will go back and correct your internal books at July to agree to the YTD net income of $10,000 and then re-send the B/S, P/L’s, new recap schedule attached showing how it reconciles, the G/L and Journal. 

This will confirm you advice that: 

You confirmed that all of the Travel Costs in August was predominantly for prior periods and that there were no prepaid expenses. 

That you will review the coding of the larger items in the Travel Costs in the future to ensure that you accrue for any un-billed, but earned, Travel Costs.

Gwinnett CPA Guides Atlanta Business Owners on Setting up Initial Meeting with a CPA for the First Time

His CPA PC…Offering Free Initial CPA Consultations with Business Owners

Initial meetings with a CPA you are hiring should not only be a time for you to interview the proposed professional but also for you to check on his past accomplishments, overall demeanor, core competency, and overall game plan for addressing your CPA needs. A CPA who has a core program is most apt to be more about serving their needs than that of your own. A good professional should be able to easily adapt to your needs and the changes in those needs while also being sensitive to your own core competencies.

CPA firms who have your best interests at heart are most apt to also refer other outside services such as a payroll company, which is most always a much faster and more economical option than either the CPA or the client preparing them. Also items such as preparing sales tax reports can easily be taught to client personnel saving potential tens of thousands of dollars over a ten-year period.

Often a CPA who has some very specific advice as to a direction for your company will share the information in the first meeting not waiting to be sure to have retained a client, desiring the best for a client rather than solely the service of their own needs and desires. Frequently CPA’s have shared insightful advice that clients have in turn taken back to their present CPA for compliance. Although this is certainly desirous in most all respects as we strive to serve, it fails to contemplate the reasons why advice was not forthcoming originally.

As Believers we are exhorted to excellence in all things and it is to that end a hiring manager looking for a trusted CPA should spend adequate time and effort reviewing a CPA’s resume, credentials, and references.

HIS CPA, P.C. is committed to you and your business’s success. Put our years of experience, business accomplishments and bottom line philosophy to work for you today. Find a CPA who has your best interests at heart. We have learned that throughout the years that working with clients who have their own internal financial statements, such as QuickBooks is essential to keeping your own company’s internal financial statements current as well as to keep their CPA fees to only required minimum levels. The below is a sample letter we might send to a client confirming critiques to their internal financial statements:

It looks like you made some changes to prior months after those months were closed. 

Please be reminded that we do not want to make changes to prior months after those months were closed as it changes your starting point, changes your history and precludes your ability to accurately track profits and losses as they are recorded. 

Please go back and undo all prior changes to prior months and then ensure that the internal books equals the ones that were previously approved. 

Then make any required changes to August and resend the B/S, P/L and detailed year to date transaction search for the Salaries account.

Christian Author’s book Overcoming Life’s 9/11’s by John Dillard CPA

The walk of a Christian is often fraught with trials and tribulations leading to both defeat and victory. Life’s tragedies, your personal 9/11’s come into our lives seemingly in waves as we face obstacles, which both challenge our confidence and test our faith. Time stood still as the towers fell on that fateful day on September 11, 2001 and lives all over the world were changed forever and the world as we knew it would never be the same.  It is only by the power of an almighty God that we are to persevere.

God shares his wisdom with us so we might overcome the world. By leaning on him in the darkness that befalls us, we are able to rise above circumstances that otherwise might cripple our lives. There will be times when you will feel abandoned by all those about you who choose to criticize rather than support and encourage you. We all need a “safe place to fall,” a family member or a brother or sister in Christ who will comfort us in our time of need. Come along one man’s journey as he loses it all becoming both mentally and physically challenged at every turn discovering God never leaves his side and indeed believes in him even during his darkest times. God has a unique calling on our lives and it is through Overcoming Life’s 9/11’s we are able to become more like him.

Two thousand years before the birth of Jesus Christ there lived an ordinary man who, despite challenges that face him, continues to believe in God. Despite ravenous trials, which arrive in quick succession, Job never deters in his faith choosing to believe God would ultimately redeem him. Living in the land of Uz near the desert land between Damascus and the Euphrates River just northeast of Palestine, Job lives his life in pursuit of God while doing His work and bidding. Our lives need to be built on the rock of our faith in Jesus Christ, as it is our belief in Him, which will enable us to withstand life’s trials. Whether our trials are of our own doing or that of others we can discern how to see God’s hand in every event. Though we may not always know why bad things happen we can always find a triune God standing in the gap along with us. The Bible teaches we are to build our life on Him who was the cornerstone and became the capstone and it is in our reliance on Him alone we are able to pass life’s tests.

Come alongside as we see how one man despite all odds and all those who would turn against him stays true to his faith. Job’s story is one of a man who loses it all, his family, his wealth, and the support of his wife and friends. Yet Job stays true to his faith and to a God who not only restores him, but also gives him much more than he originally lost. Learn how to lean into the pain by seeking God’s will to overcome all that comes your way. God does not promise that our life will be easy but he does say that with him our yoke will be light. Read along as one man, Job, stands, despite the heat of tribulations clinging to his faith when all those he thought he could count on desert him. This story will inspire and motivate you to grow in your relationship with God by leaning on him during life’s fiery trials.

Author John Dillard was nominated for the 2009 Georgia Author of the Year Award after publishing Overcoming Life’s 9/11’s and nominated again for the 2010 Georgia Author of the Year Award after publishing Low Country Calling.

Dare to Attempt Something so Great for the Kingdom of God that it is doomed to failure, lest Christ be in it!

Atlanta Christian Author’s book Low Country Calling by John Dillard CPA 

Low Country Calling by John Dillard CPA

David, Low Country Calling’s main character, is introduced as a young man who is just out of school.  Taking his southern heritage with him, David is soon off to Officer Cadet School where he meets Alice with whom he shares a mutual attraction and a magical walk along the beach.  Their first meeting, a magical moment leads them to want to discover more of what God has in store for them.  

As David and Alice get to know each other better they find they share a similar upbringing, and a vast amount of similarities.  David and Alice share their first kiss and begin their courtship together.  Soon David graduates at the top of his class from Officer Cadet School and then from Basic as a Second Lieutenant.  Beginning to feel God’s tugging on his heart to grow deeper, David begins a Bible study to spread God’s love.  Join David in the cockpit of an F-18 simulator as he amazes himself as well as his instructor. 

David begins Aviator school where his reputation as a leader continues to grow and he meets Professor Kendrick who in full dress whites gives the cadets a speech to stir their heart to patriotism, honor and a drive to excel.  Clearly moved, David redoubles his efforts to do his very best.  David and Alice ‘s romance continues to bring them closer as they invite God to join them in all levels of their relationship, even when they hit a bump in the road. 

David awakens early one Sunday and heads out to the highest knoll on campus where he prays and communes with God himself.  Praying for God’s guidance and blessings for this relationship with Alice, God answers his prayer and calls and tugs on David’s heart to seek Him even more.  Graduating at the top of his class, David receives the assignment he asks for and is to report to Pensacola, Florida for Flight School.  David and Alice’s days together are spent helping David with his studies as they strive to plan their life together.  David successfully completes Flight School in Pensacola and readies himself to fulfill his lifelong dream to be a Naval Aviator. 

David begins his active duty on the aircraft carrier, The Roosevelt.  Soon they are off in a task force of ships to help bring peace and democracy to the Middle East.  Meeting his new RIO (Radio Intercept Office), Steve White who will assist him in flying the F-18 Super Hornet while on station in the Mediterranean Sea and over Iraq.  First flying several routine missions, David and Steve soon find themselves embroiled in a deadly game of chase as a SAM (Surface to Air Missile) rockets towards them at Mach 3.  Trying to evade the deadly missile, David attempts something never before done in combat in an effort to save Steve and his lives.  Join them in the cockpit as white knuckling suspense heightens with every turn and thrust of the F-18 Super Hornet and the deadly SAM. 

David continues his routine patrols over the Iraqi theater.  On what starts out to be a routine flight they are startled by a warning light indicating a problem with their engines.  Doing everything they can to rectify the problem, they shift to back up systems and procedures all of which fail.  Soon the F-18 Super Hornet shudders its last as both of its engines stop.  As the plane falls, David and Steve send a mayday and eject from the rapidly falling craft.  Alone now and on the run in the desert floor of Iraq, David and Steve face their greatest challenge yet as they stare face to face with their own mortality and terrorists who are striving to capture them.  Facing certain death if captured, they begin a trek through the desert floor towards their extraction point.  With danger at every turn, they find themselves now being hunted in a life and death struggle for survival. 

David and Steve begin their trek across the Iraqi desert towards their rendezvous point.  Traveling at night to avoid detection, they find themselves hunted on unfamiliar terrain.  Hopelessly out-armed, David and Steve try to stay one step ahead of the terrorists who would make them their captives.  Facing certain death if caught, they fight for their very survival as their pursuers near.  Back on board the aircraft carrier, Admiral Wyrick and Major Benjamin Taylor team up to gather Intel, which will guide them to developing a plan to bring David and Steve safely home.  Admiral Wyrick vows to do everything he can and to provide all the needed resources to provide for their safe extraction. 

Running and on the lam, David and Steve strive to stay one step ahead of the terrorist who are pursuing them.  Facing capture and their imminent death, David and Steve are hunted by their enemy day and night.  All alone on the run, David and Steve pull together in a life and death struggle to escape their would be captors.  On board the aircraft carrier, all onboard feverishly plan for a safe extraction.  Admiral Wyrick and Major Benjamin Taylor lead all on board in gathering Intel to ensure their rescue effort will successful.

Final plans and preparations are made for the extraction force as they begin on their rescue effort.  Flying over the Mediterranean Sea they are soon feet dry and taking the necessary fuel required to complete their journey.  David and Steve leave their relative safety of their hiding and head west towards the assigned extraction point.  Once there, they immediately begin reconnaissance of the area finding a terrorist encampment.  Retreating to the very center of the established perimeter, David and Steve huddle closely to the ground as the three SH-60B Seahawk helicopters fly overhead and then turn towards their unsuspecting prey.  Amidst the reign of fear about him, David hears Gods call for him to go into full time ministry.  Aware of his God given mission in life, David watches with a quiet confidence as AGM-114 Hellfire missiles destroy his pursuers.  Soon he finds himself on board the lead Seahawk headed back to the aircraft carrier, The Roosevelt and the fulfill his God given destiny. 

David now safely back on board The Roosevelt, finally is able to relax and rejuvenate.  Rescued from certain capture from the desert floor of Iraq, David celebrates with Steve and those who rescued him.  Offering thanks to God, David revels in his faith and with those who put themselves in harms way for his safe return.  Admiral Wyrick throws a grand feast; beyond David’s expectation and thanks all those who risked it all to bring them home safely.  Soon, granted a furlough, David returns back to Quantico, VA to spend time with Alice.  Back to the site of his original trailing and where David and Alice’s romance first began to bud, David and Alice find the time and distance away has deepened their love and commitment.  Going back further to their roots they return to Pastor Barnes’s church where David witness’s firsthand God’s provision in the growth of his church and shares God’s calling on his heart to full time pasturing back in his hometown of Charleston. 

Coming back to the Low Country of Charleston, South Carolina, David comes home to find it even rosier than before.  A newfound God ordained mission, David finds divine purpose in his life and a God-ordained path.  Once back home, David proposes marriage to his one true soul mate that rejoices at his offer and readily accepts his hand in marriage.  David and Alice announce their plans to his family who heartily welcome Alice into their family.  His bride beside him, David begins to think about their life and their service to God together.  Opting for a mid-day run, David parks and jogs over the Cooper River Bridge.  Enjoying the ambiance of it all, David admires the architectural beauty of the bridge, the historic city of Charleston and all of its fine homes.  Hearing God’s prompting, David jogs down an older section of the city as he soon finds his destiny.  Coming alongside an old historic church, David hears God’s voice, “Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and we will no longer be in disgrace.”  David comes face to face with an old church whose walls lay in ruins as God lay on his heart that it was here David was to start his church and to begin his full time ministry as pastor.  Tears of joy roll down his face as David hears the Lion of Judah Low Country Calling to save the lost and to shepherd God’s flock.  Committing his life to God’s service, David commits to living his life for Christ and to the pre-ordained path God chose.  Just as two millennia ago when God led the Jews in the desert, He still speaks to all who will listen.

Atlanta CPA on Top 10 Characteristics of a Christian CPA Firm

If you call yourself a Christian CPA Firm, your words actions and deeds need to align with the way you run/manage your business. These Top Ten Verses/Characteristics will do much to help you ensure you are walking the walk and talking the talk. Though many will do what they can to derail your good efforts as Satan will always rise up against those who are doing good. So count it a blessing for when you are prosecuted for you are doing much good for the Kingdom of God.

Top 10 Characteristics of a Christian Firm

1. Matthew 7:12 The “Golden Rule” are not just words to us. Our primary focus is you, being sure to tailor our firms services to your needs. God calls on us emulate Himself in all matters and to ensure that both our hearts and actions are consistently aligned in love.
2. 2 Corinthians 8:7 Fast efficient turnaround in your work/returns. Most work is completed within 48 to 72 hours = Good Returns Fast. The Apostle Paul encourages us a Believers to “excel in everything.”
3. Genesis 6:22 We know that by focusing on the details that the big picture becomes clearer, just as Noah did everything that God commanded and not one issue was left astray.
4. 1 Chronicles 21:1-3 You do not have an account number at our firm. We believe our clients are much more than just customers. My goal for all of my clients is that they become lifetime friends. Satan tried to tempt King David to take a census and to gain pride from his own accomplishment rather than focusing on the Glory of God.
5. Numbers 13 We are able to see the forest and the trees simultaneously helping to ensure that your short term decisions do not become long term problems. When a member from each tribe of Israel was sent out to scout the Promised Land, only two were able to see the truth in totality and that God’s covenant was true and that the Land of Milk & Honey would soon be theirs.
6. John 14:1-3 We can serve as a part-time Virtual CFO providing technical guidance and wisdom to issues you did not even know you have. Just as Jesus went ahead of us to Heaven to prepare a way for us, so should we seek out others who know the truth, are wise in their counsel and are available to afford us the advantage of their insight and wisdom.
7. Isaiah 49:8 Our tax planning and ability to  think ”outside the box” does not limit us to the status quo, while always being open to business, tax and paradigm changes. God promises to offer us favor, guidance and to lead us in the way that we should go.
8. Isaiah 65:24 We return your calls within just a few business hours. If God promises to answer our call, while we are still speaking so should be answer others as soon as possible.
9. Matthew 5:37 We value the truth of the Bible and look to apply His word in all phases of our business and personal life and not just on Sundays. Jesus tells us in the New Testament that we are to let your yes by yes an dour no, no and to not be ambivalent about the truth.
10. Matthew 22:21 Don’t buy into false prophets who will lead you astray by telling you that the IRS is un-Constitutional. The Bible is clear that we all are to “Remit Unto Caesar what is his, but we are not required to give one penny more.

Luke 12:31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

His CPA PC…A Different Kind of CPA Firm 

News You Can Use From a Christian Accountant 

Frequently we receive responses off of our web site that are much encouraging. The below is a sample of such: 

Hello, Firstly let me say how wonderful I was to come across your website. I never thought or would have thought it possible for this CPA firm to exist as I myself am a Christian Accountant..but your firm is a true testament that there’s nothing God can’t do…To God be the glory!!  

The below is my response: 

Telling the Good News of Jesus Christ…Taking Christianity Into the World

Over six years ago we established a different kind of CPA firm — one that would bring the principles of Jesus Christ to the practice of Accounting. Being a Christian accountant who believes in Christ’s principles allows us to tap into the power of God in our daily and work lives as we assist entrepreneurs with their business accounting, personal financial planning, and tax preparation needs.

Here is John Dillard’s testimony on how he was led to create a Christian CPA practice to serve Atlanta and America as  CPA:

Having managed my own successful CPA practice in Metro Atlanta for over twenty years, I continued to feel God’s calling on my heart and his desire for me to be more about Him. I had always felt it was my mission to witness to those I came in contact with in both my business and social contacts, but God continued to lay it on my heart that He wanted much more.

Although I was willing to share my Christian faith with people to whom I came in contact with, God was calling and he wanted me to be much more overt, but loving, to share the love of God. Having practiced the Golden Rule in my CPA firm for years, God was calling to be the true center of my life and not just a major player.

With my new bride that I had met some few years ago, we set out on a journey that has led us on mission trips, publishing books, changing Georgia law, and starting a new accounting firm, His CPA, P.C.

Although we wanted to start the company at the beginning of the year God made it necessary to start the firm immediately as He wanted it done then and not later. To this end we have been faithful and continue to spread the Good News of our faith and Christianity to anyone who would like to hear.

Our faith and our lives intersect. Though we still have much to learn to grow to be like Him, we have studied his word and continue to work in Bible studies to share his love with others. My CPA firm is committed to the One who made me and we act on this daily by “Serving HIM by serving You…one tax return at a time”.
