Accounts Payable Services & AP Automation Providers in Kennesaw, GA

Forsyth Holtzman & Associates, LLC is a CPA firm based in Kennesaw, Georgia, just north of Marietta. It works mainly with small and mid-sized businesses. The firm doesn't sell standalone AP software. Instead, it handles accounts payable as part of a wider outsourced accounting relationship. That makes it a good fit for owners who want a local accounting team to manage their vendor payables, books and reporting, rather than a business looking for an automation platform alone.

Accounts Payable and Outsourced Accounting

The firm's outsourced accounting and bookkeeping service lists accounts payable and receivable as a core offering. This suits businesses that don't have the budget or the workload for a full-time in-house accountant. Payables work sits next to the other recurring tasks that keep the ledger accurate, so bills, payments and reconciliations are handled by the same team. Services in this area include:

• Managing accounts payable and receivable
• Keeping the general ledger up to date and tracking cash balances
• Reconciling bank and credit card accounts
• Running monthly closings and preparing balance sheets
• Preparing financial statements and reports
• Cleaning up QuickBooks files

Payroll, Controller and Advisory Support

Besides payables, the firm runs payroll for small businesses. That covers direct deposits, custom payroll reports, federal and state payroll tax filings, and W-2, W-3 and 1099 forms. The 1099 work matters for companies that pay contractors and vendors. For businesses that need more oversight, the firm also acts as a part-time controller or interim CFO.

In that role it can manage cash flow, review operations, suggest ways to improve profit, and train in-house bookkeepers. That training can help businesses that want to keep some AP work in-house while still having a CPA check the process.

The firm also offers cloud accounting, QuickBooks setup and support, budgeting and forecasting, and help with due diligence, raising capital and mergers.

Industries and Approach

The firm names four industry specialties: construction, manufacturing, real estate and restaurants. In these sectors, vendor bills, job costs and supplier relationships often drive cash flow. The firm says it tailors its work to each client and aims to keep owners informed with a current view of their finances. New clients start with a free consultation, and existing clients can send documents through a secure file-sharing tool on the firm's website.

Background

Forsyth Holtzman & Associates describes itself as a public accounting firm with an experienced, approachable staff. Along with ongoing accounting, it handles tax planning and preparation, business entity selection, and incorporation advice for new companies. Clients who start with setup and bookkeeping can later add payables, payroll and higher-level financial guidance as they grow. For Marietta-area buyers, its main strengths are a single CPA team that covers AP alongside reconciliations, payroll and tax, and an office in nearby Kennesaw.
