Accounts Payable Services & AP Automation Providers in Mokena, IL

Comprehensive Accounting Solutions, Inc. is an accounting and bookkeeping practice headquartered in Mokena, Illinois, with the Joliet and Orland Park markets named as its service areas. Its work centers on QuickBooks, and it operates as a participant in Intuit's ProAdvisor program. It also supports Xero and other cloud-based accounting tools.

Companies that want outside help managing what they owe to vendors will find that this work sits inside the firm's wider bookkeeping, controller-level and cash flow offerings, rather than being sold as its own automated payables product.

Bookkeeping, Payables and Cash Flow

Day-to-day bookkeeping at the firm covers categorizing transactions, reconciling bank accounts and delivering monthly reports. When a client's priority is cash, the team begins by studying how the business purchases, invoices, runs payroll and settles payments. From there it suggests ways to collect money faster and pace disbursements more carefully. Related support includes:

• Short-term cash flow forecasts and projections
• Review of liabilities, plus payment schedules for reducing debt
• Assembly of bank loan packages
• Setup, refinement and documentation of accounting procedures
• Choosing, installing and tailoring accounting software and add-on apps
• Internal control assessments and fraud detection

Owners concerned about weak approval steps or possible payment fraud may find the firm's control reviews especially useful. It can look into suspected employee theft, document what it finds and help establish stronger safeguards.

A Layered Approach to Service

Rather than a single standard package, the firm builds a tailored combination of services around each company's size and needs. The range runs from basic recordkeeping and bookkeeping to controller and CFO-level guidance.

The firm positions this model for businesses with roughly $500,000 to $20 million in yearly revenue, which are often too small to justify a full-time finance team yet still benefit from senior expertise. At the controller level, bookkeeping is paired with management oversight and a regular discussion of results with the owner.

Optional additions include budgeting and forecasting, job costing, inventory reporting, key performance metrics, chart of accounts optimization and coordination with outside auditors.

Software Expertise

As QuickBooks specialists, the staff provides consulting and training across the product family: QuickBooks Online, Online Advanced, Desktop, Enterprise Solutions, Point of Sale and Payments. Cloud accounting, Xero services and mobile accounting resources round out the technology side. A business moving its payables process to the cloud can get help with software selection, transition and integration of add-ons with the main system.

Industries and Other Services

The firm highlights experience with clients in these fields:

• Construction
• Medical and health care
• Real estate
• Nonprofits
• Retail and restaurants
• Manufacturing
• Wholesale and distribution

Outside of bookkeeping and payables, it offers payroll, tax preparation and planning, sales and use tax assistance, business planning, startup consulting, entity selection, annual budgeting (which it prefers to call profit planning), business valuation and evaluation of accounting job candidates and staff. A complimentary initial consultation is available, and client and payroll portals support ongoing relationships. The firm describes its style as personal, with an emphasis on getting to know the owners it serves.
