Accounts Payable Services & AP Automation Providers in Leesburg, GA

Tim Hunter CPA is a certified public accounting practice in Leesburg, Georgia, just north of Albany. It works mainly with small businesses and not-for-profit organizations across Southwest Georgia. Its tax planning and preparation work reaches clients throughout the Southeastern United States.

For buyers looking at accounts payable support, the firm handles AP as part of a wider bookkeeping and accounting service, not as a standalone software product. That suits companies that want payables, ledgers, payroll and reporting handled by one advisor.

Accounts Payable and Bookkeeping Services

Under its bookkeeping offering, the firm sets up automated accounts payable and receivable processes. On the payables side, the goal is to make bill payment more efficient so staff spend less time on it and vendors keep getting paid reliably. On the receivables side, the firm can set up automatic invoicing and payment reminders to bring cash in faster. This AP and AR work ties into the rest of the firm's bookkeeping and reporting:

• Real-time bookkeeping on a daily or weekly schedule, including reconciliations and expense coding
• Cleanup and rebuilding of messy current-year and prior-year records, including fixes to the chart of accounts
• Financial statements prepared to US GAAP, delivered monthly or quarterly
• Payroll, including direct deposit, quarterly and annual payroll tax filings, and W-2 and 1099 preparation
• Setting up electronic payment processing and custom invoice designs inside QuickBooks

Technology and Delivery Model

Much of the AP automation runs through QuickBooks. Tim Hunter holds Elite and Advanced QuickBooks ProAdvisor credentials. The firm installs and configures QuickBooks Enterprise and QuickBooks Online and moves data over from older desktop systems or spreadsheets. It also checks files for ledger errors and trains client staff and volunteers.

Clients can have their books kept remotely by the firm's team on cloud platforms, or get onsite help when they need someone working in their own office. For security, the firm follows an IRS-required Written Information Security Plan and collects documents through Citrix ShareFile with encryption. It also states that it is PCI DSS compliant through SecurityMetrics.

Industries and Broader Advisory Work

The firm's main sectors are:

• Retail businesses
• Agricultural operations
• Manufacturers
• Non-profits and faith-based organizations, including help with fund accounting and board reporting

Beyond day-to-day accounting, it offers fractional CFO work such as cash flow analysis, budgeting and forecasting, KPI dashboards, business plan financials, and presentations to banks or boards. On the tax side, it covers individual, corporate, partnership, trust and estate returns, along with new business formation and pro forma projections.

Background and Credentials

The firm's founder brings decades of hands-on business experience. According to the site, he spent 35 years running a custom manufacturing plant, so he has dealt firsthand with payroll, inventory costs and commercial change. He also holds a Master's Degree in Accountancy.

The practice is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Georgia Society of CPAs and the Lee County Chamber of Commerce, and its Georgia CPA license is published on the site. Buyers who want AP automation alongside tax, payroll and advisory work from a small local CPA team may find this combination useful.
