Common Cents Bookkeeping Services (CCBSI)
Common Cents Bookkeeping Services, known as CCBSI, is a small bookkeeping and payroll firm based in Lino Lakes, Minnesota. It works with small businesses that don't have the staff or the know-how to handle financial administration themselves. It also takes on personal bookkeeping for individuals. The firm says it tailors its work to each client, so a business can hand over as much or as little of its bookkeeping and payroll as it needs.
Payroll Services
CCBSI's payroll work fits many ways of paying staff, including hourly wages, salaries, commissions and custom pay plans. Besides Minnesota, the firm runs payroll for employers with workers in California, Iowa, Louisiana, Nevada, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wisconsin. Employers in other states are asked to call about coverage. Its payroll services include:
- Payroll runs paid by paper check, direct deposit or both
- Sending payroll tax deposits to the right government agencies
- Preparing quarterly and annual payroll tax returns
- Preparing year-end W-2 forms
- Aging reports
Scheduling tax payments with government agencies is part of the standard payroll service. Very small employers get a set fee per pay run, and larger staffs get a quote.
Bookkeeping and Accounting Support
Many payroll clients also use CCBSI for general bookkeeping. On the receivables side, the firm sets up customers, sends invoices, records payments, manages collections and runs aging reports. On the payables side, it sets up vendors, records bills, schedules payments and runs vendor reports.
Its general accounting work covers recording transactions, account reconciliations, financial statements, other reports, general journal entries and 1099s. CCBSI can also move a client's records onto QuickBooks and set up processes that make the business run more smoothly.
Training and Business Management
Business owners who want to keep their own books can book private QuickBooks lessons, at their own office or at CCBSI's. Lessons are built around what each person needs, whether they're just starting out or stuck on one task. The firm also handles business management paperwork for Minnesota companies, such as forming a corporation or LLC, registering an assumed name (DBA) and filing annual renewals.
Background and Approach
Owner and founder Lin Shurtleff began doing bookkeeping on QuickBooks in 1995 at a company that published four newspapers near St. Cloud. She stayed there eight years, then became finance director at a real estate and mortgage company in Eagan. In February 2004 she started Common Cents Bookkeeping after several people asked for help with their books.
She is a QuickBooks ProAdvisor and aims to keep records in a form that both the owner and the owner's accountant find useful. Client reviews also name Rob as part of the team and describe the firm as working closely with outside CPAs, including getting clients ready for tax season.
CCBSI stresses confidentiality and says client financial information is shared only when it is already public or the law requires or allows it. For buyers who want one hands-on contact for payroll, books and software help, CCBSI offers a personal alternative to large national payroll platforms.
