Accounts Payable Services & AP Automation Providers in Charleston, WV

Overview

Ovie D Gibson CPA AC is a certified public accounting practice based in Charleston, West Virginia. It is led by Ovie Gibson, a CPA whose career spans more than three decades of dealing with the Internal Revenue Service and state revenue agencies.

The firm works mainly with small businesses and individuals, and it describes its reach as extending from the Charleston area to Florida and other states. Buyers evaluating accounts payable support should see it as a general accounting and bookkeeping firm, not a dedicated AP automation vendor. Payables recording is one part of a broader monthly and quarterly service.

Accounts Payable and Bookkeeping Work

The firm's bookkeeping engagement covers the core transaction work that keeps a company's payables and receivables current. According to its service description, the team handles the following tasks:

• Recording payables or receivables for the business
• Posting cash disbursements and incoming receipts
• Reconciling every bank account the company holds
• Booking depreciation based on the client's own fixed asset register
• Entering accruals and other adjusting entries when needed
• Producing the trial balance and general ledger
• Preparing financial statements for each quarter and the year to date
• Reviewing quarterly results with company management

Disbursements, reconciliations and ledger maintenance sit together in one engagement. Buyers who want to offload vendor bill entry and payment recording can therefore have that work tied directly into their financial reporting. The firm also offers QuickBooks cleanup and ongoing file management. This may appeal to owners whose books have fallen behind or whose software setup needs correction before payables can be tracked reliably. No proprietary AP automation platform is described on its site.

Tax, Payroll and Advisory Support

Alongside bookkeeping, the practice provides payroll services, proactive tax planning, quarterly estimated tax calculations and preparation of business and individual returns. Its stated goal is to keep client accounts compliant as rules change and to help owners avoid unexpected tax bills and IRS penalties. Returns are run through software checks to flag likely problem areas and are filed electronically.

Client testimonials point to a strength in tax resolution. Examples include a dispute over unreported K-1 income, a collection hold arranged with the IRS and a West Virginia sales tax matter for an out-of-state business.

Who They Serve

The firm targets owner-operated small companies and names examples such as salons, auto collision shops, caterers, restaurants, law firms and medical practices. It presents itself as big enough to cover a full range of needs while staying personal enough that clients are known individually. It emphasizes three guiding values: quality, responsiveness and professionalism.

How They Work With Clients

Engagements can be handled face to face at the Charleston office or remotely by phone and video. This suits businesses outside West Virginia that have obligations in the state. Clients receive access to a protected online portal secured by password, where tax returns, work papers and accounting files can be stored and retrieved at any time.

Fees can be paid online by card through PayPal. Some small businesses want payables recorded as part of a complete bookkeeping, payroll and tax package from a single CPA firm. For them, the practice offers a consolidated option backed by long regulatory experience.
