Will I lose control of my business by outsourcing my accounting services?
Absolutely not. Outsourcing your accounting simply gives you more accurate information and greater efficiency—not less control. You remain in full control of every financial decision. All payments are still authorized by you, and no funds move without your direct approval. You decide which vendors get paid and when, and you approve all electronic payments.
Our role is to give you clear, timely reporting and take care of the day-to-day accounting tasks so you can focus on running your business with confidence. Think of us as your back-office support—you stay in the driver’s seat the entire time.
Who services my account?
At SAME Accounting Group, you will have a dedicated bookkeeper assigned to your account. This individual will take the time to learn your unique processes, systems, and preferences to ensure consistent, high-quality service tailored to your business.
In addition, your bookkeeper is supported by a dedicated Account Team that provides internal oversight, review, and backup support. This team-based approach ensures continuity of service, so your account remains well-managed even during vacations or unforeseen absences. You can count on SAME for reliable, consistent service and a seamless client experience at all times.
How much does your service cost?
Our services are typically more cost-effective than maintaining in-house accounting staff( salary, benefits, time, PTO and employee turnover). We tailor our pricing based on the volume and complexity of your needs, and we establish a fixed monthly fee so you can plan and manage your budget with confidence—no surprises.
Outsourcing your accounting to SAME Accounting Group gives you access to experienced professionals, best-in-class systems, and accurate, timely financial reporting—all at a fraction of the cost of hiring and managing a full-time team. Additionally, having your books set up and maintained properly throughout the year is significantly more efficient and affordable than relying on a CPA to fix errors at year-end.
The real value lies not just in the savings, but in the strategic insights accurate books provide to help you make informed decisions and grow your business. We invite you to take advantage of our free bookkeeping consultation to learn exactly what our services would cost—and how much value they can bring to your business.

Do you replace my current CPA?
No, we do not replace your CPA—our role is complementary. At SAME Accounting Group, we specialize in providing professional bookkeeping and day-to-day accounting support. We do not offer tax preparation or attest services, and we work in collaboration with your CPA, not in competition with them.
Our goal is to enhance the accuracy and timeliness of your financial records so your CPA can focus on high-level advisory, tax strategy, and compliance. By ensuring your books are well-maintained and audit-ready throughout the year, we help eliminate the inefficiencies and frustrations that often arise from disorganized financials—saving both time and cost during tax season.
In fact, many CPAs refer their clients to us because they recognize the value of having a reliable bookkeeping partner. We help ensure that the information your CPA relies on is complete, accurate, and delivered in a format they can work with easily. It’s a collaborative relationship that benefits all parties—especially you.
Does my CPA have access to my books if using your on-line service?
Only with your permission! By allowing your accountants and advisors access to your QuickBooks data, they can review or change your data files whenever they need to.
Can other people access my data?
No one can have access to your data without your company’s express permission, this includes your CPA, advisors, and specific employees. We can also set up restrictions so that certain functions can be limited to those you do allow access.
Does SAME provide tax, audit, review or compilation services?
At SAME Accounting Group, we focus exclusively on what we do best—bookkeeping, controller and day-to-day accounting support. We do not provide tax preparation, audits, reviews, or compilation services, and we do not issue opinions on financial statements.
However, we play a critical supporting role in these areas by working closely with your CPA or external accounting firm. Our team ensures that your financial records are accurate, organized, and fully up to date, which allows your CPA to efficiently and effectively perform tax filings or assurance services.
The benefit to you: fewer errors, reduced costs, and faster turnaround times. Well-prepared books eliminate the back-and-forth and costly cleanup often required before your CPA can get started.
The benefit to your CPA: they can focus on strategic analysis, compliance, and advisory services rather than spending time correcting or reconstructing your books.
We view ourselves as part of your broader financial team—ensuring your CPA has everything needed to deliver maximum value, while you gain peace of mind knowing your financial foundation is solid year-round.
