Accounts Payable Services & AP Automation Providers in Salt Lake City, UT

Huntington & Associates CPA's, PC is a certified public accounting practice in Salt Lake City, Utah. It works with business owners, nonprofit organizations and individual households. Companies looking for help with their payables will find that the firm presents this work as part of a broader bookkeeping and accounting relationship. It does not market a standalone AP automation platform.

Its site lists bookkeeping, small business accounting, payroll and cash flow management among its core business offerings. These are the functions where vendor bills, disbursements and payment timing are normally recorded and controlled.

Bookkeeping, cash flow and QuickBooks support

For organizations that want an outside team to keep their books current, the firm offers recurring bookkeeping and accounting for smaller companies. It also helps owners understand how cash moves through the business. Much of this work centers on QuickBooks, which the firm treats as a natural fit for small and mid-sized operations.

Clients can get the software installed and configured, have staff trained on it, bring day-to-day questions to the team, and arrange a cleanup review of an existing company file. For a business that already enters supplier invoices and payments in QuickBooks, that support can tighten how payables are tracked and reported. Relevant business services include:

• Bookkeeping and small business accounting
• Payroll processing and help with payroll tax issues
• Cash flow management
• Compilations of financial statements
• QuickBooks setup, training, question support and tune-ups
• Bank financing assistance and business valuation
• Advisory work, business financial planning, succession planning and new entity formation

Tax and advisory depth

The practice also does extensive tax work, which matters to buyers who want their bookkeeping and filings handled in one place. It prepares business and individual returns, plans ahead to reduce liabilities, and handles estate and trust filings and cryptocurrency accounting.

A dedicated tax resolution group handles IRS audits, unfiled returns, back taxes, liens, levies, wage garnishments, payment plans, offers in compromise and innocent spouse claims. On the personal side, the firm provides retirement, estate and financial planning, elder care support and wealth management.

Industries served

The firm says it has built specialized knowledge across several sectors. Many of them involve heavy supplier activity and job- or project-based costs:

• Construction
• Dentists and healthcare practices
• Hospitality
• Law firms
• Manufacturers
• Real estate

It also lists nonprofit organizations and litigation support among its business services.

Team and working style

The office is led by Kevin Huntington. The professional staff includes Brian S. Skalka, Richard Garcia, Emily Evershed, Carrie Petersen, Camille McBride, Sherry Hullinger and Tonia Starks, supported by an administrative team. The firm describes itself as combining the personal attention of a small office with the range of services of a larger one.

Clients receive access to a secure, password-protected online portal for exchanging and storing financial documents, which the firm says is protected by multiple layers of security. The firm also publishes a newsletter, tax calendars, a record retention guide and financial calculators for clients. Companies weighing AP providers should treat this firm as a full-service local CPA practice.

Its payables help comes through bookkeeping and QuickBooks rather than a dedicated automation product, and buyers should confirm the specific scope directly.

SLC Bookkeeping is a Salt Lake City firm that runs the back-office finances of small and mid-sized companies on an outsourced basis. Its core offering is ongoing monthly bookkeeping and reconciliation. Accounts payable is handled within the broader accounting system the firm designs for each client. It is not sold as a separate automation product.

Buyers looking for a dedicated AP software platform will not find one here. Buyers who want a hands-on team to organize vendor obligations alongside the rest of their books may find a good fit.

Accounts payable and related services

When a company moves its books to the firm, the team builds the accounting structure from the ground up where needed. That work includes drafting a chart of accounts, writing policies for how payables and receivables are handled, and designing a payroll process. Organizations that already have workflows running can also get QuickBooks assistance. Other services that support an accurate payables picture include:

• Monthly bookkeeping and account reconciliations
• Credit card reconciliation
• Balance sheet accounting, with liabilities sorted by term
• Income statement preparation
• Payroll services
• Business and personal tax return filing
• Financial forecasting and cash-flow modeling
• Fractional consulting on growth decisions

The forecasting work starts from historical sales, seasonal swings and spending trends. It then connects bank feeds and point-of-sale data so projections refresh as new figures arrive. Clients can ask for a day-by-day view of cash runway, which helps owners anticipate when bills will come due and whether outside funding will be needed.

On the consulting side, the firm reviews three years of financial statements plus supplier terms and payroll data to find margin problems. A senior consultant can join leadership calls as a part-time finance partner. If the lead advisor is unavailable, a colleague covers so reporting stays on schedule.

How engagements work

Onboarding begins with a discovery conversation about goals, pain points and the current setup. The team then builds a tailored system. For one client that may mean weekly reports, while another may only need a monthly profit and loss statement and balance sheet. After launch, the firm continues with regular reporting and strategic input.

Pricing is set per client based on scope. Clients work with a group of bookkeepers rather than a single individual, and the firm stresses that its staff is in-house and located in the United States.

Industries and background

The firm lists restaurants, yoga studios, contractors, hotels and hospitality businesses, law firms and real estate companies among the sectors it serves. It also cites experience with fitness studios and bars. Published testimonials come from Tsunami Restaurant, Mountain Yoga Sandy, a real estate owner managing several entities, and a nonprofit leader. One client reports working with the firm since 2014.

The company describes its roots as a small business set up to help other small businesses. It is led by founder and CEO Matt Roberge, with Joe Mazur serving as operations manager, and it is based in downtown Salt Lake City.
