Frequently Asked Questions — Kunze Bookkeeping
Q:What types of businesses do you work with?
A: Kunze Bookkeeping works primarily with small and mid-sized businesses across a wide range of industries, including retail, service businesses, contractors, and professional practices. We specialize in businesses that need consistent, reliable bookkeeping without the overhead of a full-time in-house accountant. Whether you are a solo operator or managing a team, we scale our services to fit your needs.
Q:How does the free initial consultation work?
A: During your free consultation, we take a close look at your current financial records, discuss your business goals, and identify any gaps or issues in your existing bookkeeping setup. There is no obligation and no pressure — it is simply an opportunity for us to understand your situation and explain how we can help. Each consultation is a 45-minute appointment, either in person or via video call.
Q:Do I need to be located in Excelsior Springs to work with you?
A: No. While we proudly serve businesses in Excelsior Springs, Liberty, Kearney, Lawson, Cameron, and Kansas City, MO, we are also set up to work with clients remotely using secure cloud-based accounting software. If you are outside our immediate area, we can still provide the same level of service through virtual meetings and shared digital access to your books.
Q:What accounting software do you work with?
A: We are experienced with the most widely used small business accounting platforms, including QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Wave. We can work within your existing software setup or help you transition to a more efficient platform if your current tools are not serving your needs. All data is handled securely and in compliance with best practices for financial data protection.
Q:How often will I receive financial reports?
A: For clients on our monthly bookkeeping plan, we deliver a complete set of financial reports at the end of each month, including a profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and cash flow summary. We also offer quarterly and annual reporting depending on the scope of your engagement. Reports are presented in a clear, readable format with highlights called out so you never have to dig through raw numbers.
Q:Can you work directly with my CPA or tax preparer?
A: Yes, coordinating with your existing CPA or tax professional is a standard part of what we do. We keep your books organized and current throughout the year so that when tax season arrives, your accountant has everything they need without delays. This kind of collaboration reduces errors, saves time, and often lowers your overall accounting costs.
Q:What is included in your payroll processing service?
A: Our payroll processing service covers payroll calculation, direct deposit setup, payroll tax withholding and filing, and employee pay stub generation. We ensure your payroll runs accurately every pay period and that you remain compliant with federal and Missouri state payroll regulations. If you have questions about a specific payroll situation, our team is available to help you work through it.
Q:How do I get started?
A: Getting started is simple — contact us by phone or through our website to schedule your free initial bookkeeping consultation. We will review your current setup, discuss what services make the most sense for your business, and outline next steps. Most new clients are fully onboarded and have a clean, organized system in place within the first two to three weeks.
