An Established Neighborhood With High Expectations

Forest Hills has long attracted professionals who value quality, from medical and dental offices on Queens Boulevard to specialty shops and restaurants along Austin Street near the LIRR station. Clients here expect polish, and so should your financial reporting. When a partner asks about profitability or a bank asks for statements, you want answers ready, not a scramble.

We work with Forest Hills firms that have outgrown do-it-yourself bookkeeping and want a steady, professional rhythm without hiring a full-time controller.

What a Mature Practice Needs

Budget versus actual comparisons each quarter
Clean year-end files for your CPA through our financial statement preparation

Fractional CFO Support, Sized Right

A larger company might hire a chief financial officer. A ten-person practice cannot justify that salary but still faces CFO-level questions: Should we add a hygienist? Can we afford a second office? Is our fee schedule keeping up with rising costs? Our accounting and fractional CFO service provides that guidance part-time. Typical engagement:

Frequency	Activity
Monthly	Reconciled books, P&L, balance sheet
Quarterly	KPI review, budget comparison, tax reserve check
Annually	Budget for the coming year, compensation planning
As needed	Expansion modeling, lender packages

People, Policies and Payroll

Professional offices depend on skilled staff, and turnover is expensive. Beyond processing payroll and NYS-45 filings, our HR management support helps with offer letters, employee handbooks, paid leave tracking and onboarding checklists. For hiring and compensation decisions, we show you the full cost of each position, including payroll taxes and benefits, before you commit. Natalie Montealegre's background in clinical psychology adds a thoughtful perspective on team dynamics.

Boutiques and Specialty Retail

Austin Street shops face different questions: inventory turnover, markdown timing and sales tax at the 8.875% city rate, with certain clothing items possibly treated differently under state and city rules. We help boutique owners understand margins by product line and prepare quarterly figures through our sales tax service. Owners who pay themselves through distributions can check quarterly estimates using the Calculator button on our site.

A Year-End Calendar for Established Firms

Well-run practices plan the close of the year rather than reacting to it. Here is the sequence we follow with Forest Hills clients:

October: review year-to-date profit and projected tax, adjust the final estimated payment.
November: decide on equipment purchases, bonuses and retirement contributions with your CPA.
December: confirm payroll year-end details, such as bonuses and benefit reporting.
January: issue 1099-NEC forms by January 31 and close December's books.
February: deliver the year-end package to your tax professional.

Following this rhythm turns tax season into a short, predictable task rather than a stressful sprint.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with medical and dental practices?

Yes. We handle the financial side of practices: bookkeeping, payroll, insurance receivable reconciliation and management reporting. We do not access patient records or handle clinical billing codes, so your billing company or staff continues that work. We simply match what was billed and collected to the books so you see true performance.

Can you prepare financial statements for a bank?

We prepare internal management financial statements, meaning a balance sheet, income statement and supporting schedules, from your reconciled books. We are not a CPA firm, so we do not issue audited or reviewed statements. If your lender requires those, we organize the records so your CPA's work goes faster and costs less.

How do you handle partner draws in a group practice?

We record each partner's draws and contributions in separate equity accounts and reconcile them to the partnership or operating agreement. Quarterly reports show each partner's position, which avoids year-end surprises. Allocation formulas come from your agreement and your CPA; we make sure the books follow them consistently.

Is our data secure?

We use secure, encrypted platforms for document exchange and accounting software with role-based access. You control who on your team can see what. We never ask for passwords by email, and we recommend multi-factor authentication on every financial account connected to your books.
