Accounts Payable Services & AP Automation Providers in Las Vegas, NV

Overview

C.A.C Financial Services is a Las Vegas firm that CharVon Claudrick founded in 2018. She is an Enrolled Agent and runs the company as CEO. The practice handles bookkeeping, tax, payroll and IRS representation. Most of its clients are self-employed professionals and small companies that want one outside partner to keep their books current and their filings in order.

Buyers comparing accounts payable providers should note that this is a small-business bookkeeping firm. It handles payables as part of a broader recordkeeping engagement and is not a standalone AP automation vendor.

Accounts payable and bookkeeping work

As part of its bookkeeping service, the firm keeps track of what a business owes its vendors and what customers owe the business. It updates the payables and receivables ledgers along with the rest of the general books. The firm also offers several related tasks that usually support an AP function:

• Upkeep of accounts payable and accounts receivable records
• Bank reconciliation and payroll reconciliation
• Monthly financial reports and statements
• Processing of sales and local taxes
• QuickBooks setup and training
• Remote bookkeeping and cleanup of disorganized records
• Payroll processing, payroll tax liability and tax deposit support

The site does not describe any in-house AP software, invoice capture tools or payment automation platforms. Companies that want a dedicated automation product would probably need to combine this service with their own accounting system. QuickBooks is the only platform the firm names, and it offers setup and training for it.

Tax and IRS representation

Tax work makes up a large share of the practice. The firm prepares individual and small business returns, out-of-state returns and amended returns. It also offers formal tax planning and helps clients who file remotely or who prepare their own returns and want guidance.

For tax problems, it handles offers in compromise, penalty abatement, installment agreements, trust fund recovery penalty cases and innocent spouse relief. As an Enrolled Agent, Claudrick can represent taxpayers before the IRS without limits and negotiate resolutions for them. Other services include help with credit restoration, personal budgeting and identity protection.

How the firm works with clients

Clients can meet in person at the Las Vegas office, which is inside Nevada Financial Concepts on South Eastern Avenue, or work entirely online. Files are shared through a secure portal where they are uploaded, reviewed, stored and signed electronically, so the firm can take on taxpayers anywhere in the United States.

Monthly and custom packages are available, and the firm sets fees based on how complex the work is. It puts weight on clear explanations and financial education so owners understand their own numbers. In the local area it serves Henderson, Summerlin, North Las Vegas, Spring Valley, Paradise, Enterprise, Sunrise Manor, Whitney and Blue Diamond, in addition to Las Vegas.

Background

Claudrick studied accounting in college. She then spent about ten years as a senior buyer and gained practical tax experience at Jackson Hewitt before opening her own firm. She belongs to the National Association of Tax Professionals and keeps up with changes in tax law through that membership. The site names owner-operator truckers and self-employed beauty professionals among its clients.

Testimonials come from an entrepreneur, a family day care provider and a beverage merchandiser, and some reviewers say they have been clients for more than ten years.

Overview

Michael Johnson, CPA & Associates is a boutique certified public accounting practice in southwest Las Vegas, Nevada. The firm works with small and mid-sized businesses as well as individuals. It presents itself as a full-service alternative to larger accounting organizations. Companies evaluating outsourced accounts payable support may value its approach. It handles payables alongside bookkeeping, payroll and tax work under one roof. It does not offer a standalone AP automation platform.

Accounts Payable and Bookkeeping Support

Payables management is part of the firm's monthly bookkeeping packages. Staff take on routine transaction recording and closing work, so owners have current books when making decisions. The firm also helps clients design internal policies and procedures. This can help businesses that want more structure around how bills are approved and paid. Package scope and pricing are tailored to each engagement. The monthly bookkeeping offering includes:

• Management of both payables and receivables
• Ongoing entry of business transactions
• Reconciliation of bank accounts
• Adjusting entries at the close of each month
• Tracking of fixed assets with related depreciation entries
• Quarterly and year-end reporting
• Reports tailored to the client, produced daily, weekly or monthly

Related Services

Beyond payables and bookkeeping, the firm processes payroll. This covers tax deposits, federal and state returns each quarter, year-end forms, and a set of payroll reports. Its other services are:

• Tax preparation and planning
• Financial statement preparation
• Business consulting
• Entity formation
• Guidance on accounting software and systems

Clients that already use the practice for payroll or taxes can move their payables work to the same team.

Team and Credentials

Founder Michael Johnson has more than a decade of public accounting experience covering state and federal tax and accounting matters. He holds CPA licenses in both Nevada and California. He is a member of the AICPA and the Nevada Society of CPAs. The firm says every CPA on staff has at least ten years of experience. Clients deal directly with one of those CPAs instead of being passed down through several tiers of staff.

Clients and Approach

The site publishes testimonials from a construction services company, a Camp Bow Wow location, a personal injury law firm and other business owners, as well as individual taxpayers. This points to a varied local clientele rather than a single industry niche. Reviewers repeatedly mention responsive communication and work finished on the agreed timeline.

The office is on South Fort Apache Road in Las Vegas, and bookkeeping is offered to businesses in both Las Vegas and Henderson. The firm may suit buyers who want a hands-on accounting partner that manages payables within a complete bookkeeping engagement. Buyers who want dedicated AP automation software should note that the site does not describe such a product.
