What types of businesses do you work with?

We work with a wide range of small- to mid-sized businesses, including professional service firms, consultants, medical practices, retail businesses, real estate activities, startups, and growing owner-operated companies across multiple industries.

Do I need to be local to work with M&S Accounting Group?

No. We work with clients throughout the United States using secure cloud-based accounting systems, virtual meetings, email communication, and digital document sharing. While we have a strong presence in the DMV area, many of our clients operate in other states.

How are your fees structured?

Our pricing depends on the scope of work, business size, transaction volume, and the level of support needed. After an initial consultation, we provide a clear outline of recommended services and pricing so there are no surprises.

How often will we communicate?

That depends on your business needs. Some clients prefer monthly check-ins, while others reach out as needed throughout the year. We focus on maintaining responsive, organized communication and long-term support rather than only seasonal interaction.

What if I’m already working with another accountant or bookkeeper?

That’s completely fine. We regularly help businesses transition from previous accounting providers or collaborate with existing financial professionals when needed. Our onboarding process is designed to make the transition organized and straightforward.

Can you handle both business and personal tax services?

Yes. Many of our clients use us for both business and individual tax support so financial planning and tax preparation can be reviewed together rather than separately.

Do you help with QuickBooks and financial organization?

Yes. We assist clients with QuickBooks setup, cleanup, ongoing bookkeeping organization, reconciliations, and financial reporting to help maintain more accurate and useful financial records.

What makes M&S Accounting Group different?

Our approach is centered around long-term partnership, responsive communication, and organized financial support throughout the year. We aim to provide practical guidance in clear language while helping businesses stay financially organized, compliant, and prepared for growth.
