Accounts Payable Services & AP Automation Providers in Alexandria, VA

3-iT Accounting & Financial Services Corporation is an accounting practice in Alexandria, Virginia. It serves mainly small businesses and nonprofit organizations and also prepares income tax returns for individuals. Organizations that need help with vendor bills will find payables handled as part of a wider bookkeeping and outsourced accounting relationship. The firm does not sell a separate AP automation tool.

Payables within the bookkeeping service

The bookkeeping offering is aimed at owners who are stretched thin and worry that their records may fall behind. Firm staff take over routine recordkeeping so that financial information stays accurate and current. Besides tracking what is owed to suppliers, the team handles receivables and the ledger and reconciliation work that supports dependable payables records. The scope includes:

• Management of payables and receivables
• Upkeep of the general ledger
• Reconciliation of bank and credit card accounts
• Month-end closings
• Monitoring of cash balances
• Balance sheets and financial statements

The resulting reports are also used to find and cut spending that adds nothing, giving owners a clearer view of where money goes. As a client expands or changes direction, the level of support is adjusted, so the arrangement follows the business rather than a fixed template.

Accounting, payroll, advisory and tax work

Beyond bookkeeping, the firm offers outsourced accounting, payroll processing, budgeting, cash flow management and consulting aimed at growth and stronger profits. Nonprofit clients receive tailored reporting methods that show assets and expenses in a straightforward way. Businesses running QuickBooks can get help with correct configuration and better bookkeeping practices.

Entrepreneurs starting out can get guidance on choosing an entity type, writing a business plan to support a financing application, and tax strategies suited to young companies. On the tax side, the firm covers planning, income tax preparation, and state and local matters, and it also performs audits.

Leadership and experience

Nadine Moore Smith is the firm's President and has spent over two decades in accounting. She earlier founded Accounting MSA, LLC, and worked as a project manager at RSM McGladrey, where she oversaw the budget for a school district outsourcing project and reported on finances at public hearings.

She was also a controller at DC Trading and Development Corporation and earned an MBA at George Mason University. She belongs to the American Accounting Association and the Society for Human Resources Management, among other groups.

Diane Bria-Wharton, a Principal, is a Certified Public Accountant licensed in Ohio and Maryland. She supervises senior and staff auditors, supports audit planning and reporting, and advises small business and nonprofit clients on accounting, finance and tax planning. Amir Farshchian serves as CFO and Senior Accountant. Before joining, he led payroll, payables, receivables, cash management and ledger oversight, and he is skilled with several accounting and tax platforms, including QuickBooks and Sage.

For buyers focused on payables, the appeal is hands-on processing combined with CPA-level audit and tax knowledge in one place. The firm describes itself as big enough to meet a business's full range of accounting needs yet small enough to value every client relationship, which suits organizations that want AP support as part of a complete accounting partnership rather than a software-only product.
