Welcome

QuickBooks ProAdvisorWelcome!
Ronald D. Smith, CPA is a Certified QuickBooks Pro Advisor and full service tax, accounting, and payroll firm located in Keene, NH. He services individuals and small to medium sized businesses throughout New Hampshire and southern Vermont. Ronald D. Smith, CPA is more than just an accountant. His firm is a Christian focused practice stressing honesty, integrity, and charity. Ronald is active in both the Christian and secular communities in and around Keene.

Good accountants are about more than accounting, and Ronald Smith is a good accountant.

Being an Accountant is About Helping the Community Prosper
by Helping the People in it Prosper

Many accountants shun startup businesses, for example. Starting a business is a risky and difficult task, and even with proper financial guidance many startup businesses fail; without guidance most small businesses don't last more than two years. For this reason many accounting services would rather work with larger more established companies than take the risk of providing the type of startup help that can help their communities grow.

Ronald has provided first rate accounting and bookkeeping services to startup and small businesses for many years, and will continue to do so for many years to come. Providing startup help is as much a duty to the community as a personal pleasure. Ronald takes enormous personal satisfaction from the startup help he provides and the pride of watching a venture grow from small family businesses to profitable companies that provide jobs and goods to the entire Keene area. Startup help means providing real guidance to new business owners, and often spells the difference between success and failure.

There are not many better ways to contribute to the community in which one lives than to help ones neighbors become more prosperous. Keene, and in fact many surrounding areas in New Hampshire and Vermont, have felt a positive impact from Ronald's practice.

Every Business Needs a Financial Expert

Ronald has a great deal of experience in accounting, and not just with family businesses. He has seen many of his clients through the process of growth from sole proprietorship through incorporation. Many small businesses rush into incorporation and in so doing actually find themselves more liable as owners of a closely held corporation than they would have been otherwise, others wait too long and find themselves being held accountable for mistakes or defects not of their making. And when does one make the transition from closely held corporation to public? What is a closely held corporation? How much control will you lose if you start issuing stock?

Ron's job is not just to help you grow, it's to help you grow responsibly: to make sure you understand the difference between a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a Limited Liability Company, an S Corp, a Subchapter S, and a C Corp. There are advantages and disadvantages to all of them, and Ronald D. Smith, CPA is a firm dedicated to making sure that the business formation you chose is right for the business you have.

Integrity

As with most financial services, you need an accountant you can trust. Ron has spent many years in and around Keene earning the trust of the individuals and businesses he serves. He is dedicated to the Christian principles of integrity and hard work. His priority is his clients’ welfare, and this shows from your first meeting. Whether you need help managing family businesses, choosing a pension plan, or solving a problem with the IRS, Ron’s going to tell you what you need to know to do what’s right for you.

Skills

Ron is also dedicated to his continuing education. Unlike a bookkeeper or many uncertified accountants, CPAs are required to take 40 hours a year of additional coursework and seminars to stay current on the changing tax and economic climate. Ron has also found that many accountants and bookkeeping services, even CPAs, are woefully unskilled with the technology that’s increasingly shaping their industry. Software like QuickBooks, while easy to use and very flexible, is sometimes difficult to set up right for a specific business. Also, many business owners that rely on QuickBooks don’t use it to it’s fullest potential. That’s why Ron has participated in and passed the Certified QuickBooks Pro Advisor program. As a Certified QuickBooks Pro Advisor Ron has all the skills he needs to set your business up with the most profitable and efficient software configuration for your specific business.
