FAQs

  • As a new business owner I'm unsure where to start. How do I know which services I'll need?

    We get it. You started your business because you are passionate about the unique skills you have to offer. And those skills have nothing to do with accounting or finance! We understand the thought of having to deal with accounting and finance can be overwhelming for many. Don’t worry, that’s where Sereno Accounting & Advisory can help.

    Every business is different. During your initial complimentary consultation, Kristen will gain an understanding of your business’s unique needs and recommend next steps from there.

  • Do I need to work with a CPA, specifically?

    While a CPA license is not required to perform many of the accounting and finance functions your business might need, the benefits of hiring a CPA to perform these functions are many.

    A CPA license indicates the licensee has completed a rigorous education in accounting and proven their knowledge across a series of exams. Further, working with an accountant with an active CPA license offers you the peace of mind that your accountant is being held to the ethical and regulatory standards set by the state in which they are licensed.

  • How much will your services cost? Can I afford them?

    Pricing is based on the unique needs of your business. During your complimentary consultation, we will work with you to determine how we may best be of service to you, keeping in mind your budget.

  • Do you offer tax preparation services?

    We do not offer tax preparation services at this time. That said, as a licensed CPA, Kristen’s bookkeeping and advisory services are informed by her knowledge of tax, setting you up for success come tax time. Further, Kristen can work with any tax professionals you might hire come tax time to facilitate a seamless tax preparation process with minimal surprises.
