Client Accounting Services

While the primary focus of emerging and growth business leaders should be on growing the business and satisfying customers, many find themselves spending precious time and resources on time-consuming and complicated administrative functions.

These businesses often benefit from assistance with back-office functions, such as accounting and payroll, receiving accurate and timely financial information they need, and having their administrative functions performed in a cost-effective manner.

The LBMC Accounting Services team specializes in performing these accounting and payroll services and in consulting to improve these processes and enhance financial system capabilities. We work closely with banks, attorneys, brokers and other advisors to relieve business leaders of the technical and time-consuming tasks of accounting, financial reporting, payroll, budgeting, compliance and analysis, while also strengthening internal control and financial oversight. Business leaders are free to focus on strategy, customers, operations and success.
