Accounts Payable Services & AP Automation Providers in Pinckney, MI

Overview

Persitz CPA is the practice of Mark L. Persitz, a Michigan Certified Public Accountant who operates through Mark L Persitz CPA LLC. The office is in Pinckney, in Livingston County. Clients come from across southeast Michigan, including Ann Arbor, Brighton, Howell, South Lyon and Farmington, and the firm also accepts engagements from clients elsewhere in the state.

Its client base combines owners of small companies with individuals. Mark presents the practice as a personal, relationship-centered option for people who do not want to deal with a large accounting organization.

Relevance for Accounts Payable Buyers

The firm does not sell a separate AP outsourcing package or its own automation software. Payables work is handled within its wider bookkeeping, controller and fractional CFO services. A smaller company can have vendor bills, expense coding and payment records maintained as part of the regular monthly books instead of hiring a dedicated provider.

One owner who started a business in 2021 credited Mark with setting up the accounting systems and processes, and listed payables, receivables and inventory management among them. The closest fit is a company that wants a CPA to design and supervise a payables routine inside its existing accounting software.

Buyers who need high-volume invoice capture or enterprise-grade AP technology will find this is a different kind of service.

Services

The practice organizes its offering around the finance needs of a smaller organization:

• Monthly bookkeeping, tracking of expenses and orderly financial records
• Financial reporting and day-to-day small business accounting support
• Controller and CFO engagements covering budgeting, forecasting and analysis
• Improvement of accounting processes and advice on reorganizing a finance department
• QuickBooks and Xero instruction, setup assistance and cleanup projects
• Payroll support
• Tax preparation, planning and advisory work for people and companies
• Representation before the IRS

How the Firm Works

New clients start with a free conversation about what they need. Mark tends to explain the reasons behind each task so owners come away understanding their own figures. Reviews often mention his patience, quick responses and skill as a teacher.

One client describes his help with QuickBooks Desktop Pro alongside the Gusto payroll platform, and another praises his knowledge of both the strengths and the weaknesses of QuickBooks, which lets him devise workarounds that prevent trouble later. That familiarity matters to businesses wanting bill entry, approvals and payments set up properly in the system they already use.

The firm also says it stays in touch with clients all year, not just around filing deadlines.

Background and Credentials

Mark reports over three decades in the profession. His background covers work for both companies and private taxpayers, tax matters, advisory engagements, long-range planning, and oversight of cash, assets and liabilities. The website points visitors to his QuickBooks ProAdvisor reviews.

It also carries a GLBA privacy notice, a statement on data security safeguards, and a policy on the confidentiality of tax return information under IRC Section 7216, all of which may reassure buyers who must share vendor and bank details. Published reviewers include a senior home services company, a property owners association, a self-employed musician and several small business owners.

What Sets It Apart

For Ann Arbor area businesses weighing AP options, the key distinction is direct access to a licensed CPA, who can combine routine payables and bookkeeping oversight with tax work and CFO-level planning. The tradeoff is size. This is a small, owner-led practice that suits small and growing companies better than large organizations with many entities and heavy transaction volumes.
