Accounts Payable Services & AP Automation Providers in Falmouth, ME

Royer Advisors and Accountants is a CPA and business advisory practice in Falmouth, Maine. It combines tax, accounting and consulting work for small and mid-sized organizations. Buyers looking at accounts payable support should note how the firm's offering is framed. It does not market a standalone AP automation platform. Payables-related work instead sits within its broader bookkeeping, outsourced accounting and CFO-level engagements. These are delivered by a Client Advisory Services team that the firm's chief operating officer directs.

Accounting and Back-Office Support

The firm describes its accounting work as a range. At one end is everyday tax filing, and at the other are detailed financial reviews and fractional CFO help. One brewery client credits Royer's bookkeeping staff with keeping its records in order across the full cycle, from billing and invoicing through to finished financial statements.

For a company weighing an outside partner to manage its payables, that suggests a team used to handling transaction-level recordkeeping as part of a complete accounting package rather than as an isolated task.

• Bookkeeping and ongoing recordkeeping
• Business accounting and financial reporting
• Outsourced CFO and client advisory services
• Reviews and corporate financial reporting
• Business tax preparation and multi-year tax planning
• Strategic and succession planning

Who the Firm Serves

Royer concentrates on three client groups. The first is mid-sized and closely held companies, notably in construction, real estate and manufacturing. The second is dental practices, an area where the firm positions itself as a leading specialist in Maine. For dental clients it handles financial management, valuation, and the purchase or sale of practices.

The third is municipalities and school districts, which receive independent, risk-based audits. Its tax practice works with single-owner corporations, start-ups, multi-state LLCs that have outside investors, and businesses going through mergers or acquisitions.

Team and Credentials

President and CEO Michael C. Royer holds a master's in taxation from Bentley University. He has spent over 35 years guiding companies through acquisition, growth, family transitions and sale, after early roles at an international accounting firm and a Fortune 500 company in Houston. COO David A. Swasey first joined the firm in 2001 and returned in 2021 as CFO.

He now oversees daily operations along with the Client Advisory Services group. Executive Vice President Robert Westhoven brings more than two decades of commercial banking background, much of it focused on financing for dental and healthcare practices. The wider staff includes:

• Audit managers
• A manager of corporate financial reporting
• A director of tax services
• A director of quality control and assurance
• A credentialed valuation and litigation support group

Working Style and Differentiators

The firm emphasizes long-term relationships and learning each client's industry in depth. It describes itself as a partner that stays involved from a company's launch through eventual succession. Its stated values stress responsiveness, integrity, continuous improvement and community involvement. Beyond routine accounting, Royer offers specialized capabilities that are uncommon at a firm of its size.

These include business valuation, economic damages analysis, expert witness testimony and business interruption claims work. That depth may appeal to organizations that want their day-to-day finance support connected to higher-level tax and strategic guidance.
