eCratchit is a leading provider of web-based, bookkeeping and accounting solutions to start-up, small and medium sized companies. Conceived and managed by CPAs, we integrate "best of breed" technologies with proven accounting processes and expertise to deliver a cost-effective alternative to traditional in-house bookkeeping departments. Our service fulfills the business owner's basic financial need for timely, accurate and useful financial information. What are the benefits of using eCratchit? eCratchit provides professionally prepared, accurate financial information that business owners and their financial advisors need to make rapid, informed financial decisions. The service provides cost and time-saving advantages, allows clients to control financial and cash related decisions, provides desktop access to their financial data, and relieves the burden of building and maintaining an internal bookkeeping and accounting department. We remove the day-to-day burden of bookkeeping and accounting functions. We allow management to focus on running their business in a cost-effective manner while providing expertise and peace of mind unavailable from traditional bookkeepers. What services do you provide? eCratchit provides a full range of accounting and bookkeeping services including A/R, A/P, General Ledger entries and bank reconciliation. We integrate automated payroll systems into our process, and prepare comprehensive monthly financial reports. We are your Accounting Department and take complete responsibility for creating and managing your accounting processes and reporting. Who will service my account? You will be assigned a team to each client, ranging from accounting specialist, experienced bookkeepers, to CPA/CFO level staff. How does eCratchit integrate historical data? We convert your existing data into the eCratchit system during the initial client set-up process. Will you replace my current CPA? No. We view CPAs as an important part of your business team, and to be important channel partners for eCratchit. We will work closely with your CPA during the client set-up, and help define the kind of financial reporting needed to assist you in financial management of your business. eCratchit helps eliminate the frustration that can build between CPAs and their clients due to inadequate bookkeeping and accounting - the client believes they are charged too much by the CPA for simple bookkeeping service, and the CPA cannot charge full value for his or his staff's time for simple accounting services. By utilizing eCratchit, your bookkeeping and accounting is performed at market value, and your CPA can focus on providing more profitable value-added services.
