Accounts Payable Services & AP Automation Providers in Conyers, GA

Headquartered in Conyers, Georgia, not far from Stonecrest, The Accounting Cure LLC is a CPA practice holding full state licensure. Spouses Shaun and Donna Jackson launched the firm, and its core clientele consists of individuals, nonprofit organizations and smaller companies, with additional work for federal agencies and the film industry.

Although its physical location sits in Rockdale County, the practice runs on virtual, cloud-hosted back-office systems, which allows it to serve people nationwide. Today its client roster stretches across four states: its home state, plus Massachusetts, Florida and Kansas.

Bookkeeping and Payables-Related Support

Anyone seeking accounts payable assistance should be aware that there is no dedicated AP unit or in-house automation software on the firm's menu. Instead, payables tasks fall under its broader QuickBooks and bookkeeping work. Shaun and Donna each hold the QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor certification.

The practice manages month-to-month books, repairs messy QuickBooks Online records and guides newcomers as well as experienced users. Companies wanting higher-level financial leadership can turn to its part-time CFO service, which delivers strategic insight without the cost of a permanent executive. Services that apply here include:

• Ongoing monthly books maintained in QuickBooks Online
• Repair of QuickBooks records that are outdated or contain errors
• Setup assistance and instruction for both new and experienced QuickBooks Online users
• Part-time CFO guidance to support budgeting and business choices
• Financial statement compilations, reviews and audits
• Resolution of payroll tax disputes involving the IRS

Specialties and Industries

Outside of standard accounting, the firm has carved out a handful of specialized niches. It holds certification to audit Georgia Film Tax Credits, meaning a production may select it, rather than the state Department of Revenue, to complete the mandatory audit once filming wraps. Production accounting and advisory work on film incentives round out this area.

Nonprofit clients receive help with regulatory compliance, reporting and money management. On the government side, the practice applies upward of 15 years of familiarity with examination procedures used by the IRS, DOL and SBA when carrying out compliance reviews on behalf of federal agencies.

Team and Credentials

Shaun Jackson, an Enrolled Agent with the IRS, worked at that agency for nearly 18 years. His duties included performing audits, evaluating case files across the Southeast region and teaching fellow auditors as a certified instructor. Donna Jackson, a CPA, earned an MBA with an accounting focus. Her background includes auditing employee benefit plans for the U.S.

Department of Labor, examining small-business taxpayers on behalf of the IRS and filling senior accounting positions with Acuity Brands Lighting, Southern Company and Georgia Power. The practice holds AICPA membership, operates under a license issued by Georgia's state accountancy regulator and appears on Dave Ramsey's roster of Endorsed Local Providers for tax services.

Approach

According to the firm, its philosophy is client-centered and takes the whole picture into account. Rather than only solving today's issues, it tries to head off tomorrow's, and it emphasizes education so that clients become more confident financial decision-makers.

Shaun and Donna both participate in the Conyers-Rockdale Chamber of Commerce, where Donna speaks to budding owners through the Chamber's Entrepreneurial Academy. Businesses that want orderly books, dependable recordkeeping and the perspective of former government examiners will find a blend of compliance knowledge and bookkeeping skill here. Interested clients may begin with a complimentary 30-minute consultation.
