Our Comprehensive Approach
There is an old saying "It is All in a Name." That is true for our name-Apis Business Solutions. Apis is the Latin word for a family of honeybees. Bees are a great example of working together for the success of the hive. At Apis we understand the importance of using the intellectual energy of our competent staff and building relationships with other business professionals to help the small business owner be successful.
Business Solutions is the rest of our name, not accounting and bookkeeping, although that is our primary focus. We focus on managerial accounting and bookkeeping and business education, but we have developed a list of professionals in the Denver Metro area that can help you grow your business. It is also important to note that WE DO NOT DO TAXES. We believe that having an extra set of eyes on your financials is a wise strategy. The strategic partners of the Apis Hive are CPA’s, business attorneys, estate planning attorneys, financial planners, bankers, marketing and web designers, and the list goes on……..
We Stand Behind You, So You Can Stand Out!
Our Comprehensive Approach Focuses On:
Long-Term Client Relationships - Building trust takes time. As advocates for our clients it is our responsibility to always look for the most efficient and cost-effective way to approach each task.
Managerial Accounting - Unleashing the power of a business' financials allows owners to make strategic decisions based on "fact" not "hope". We transform the way in which you view your financial reports so you can use the very same financial transactions your tax preparer uses but with a focus on effectively running your business not just on how much tax do you owe on the bottom line.
Taking an Advocate Role - We take a participatory role with our clients so that we are best able to help achieve and maintain financial success. We also utilize the vast resources of all members of our hive in order the best solutions to any given situation.
The Power of Teams (the Hive) Includes:
-
Our Apis Team approach can include a SBFO®, a Senior Accountant and/or BizKeeper depending on your individual needs.
-
Our clients always have back-up because more than one person is familiar with their account.
Strategic Partnerships - Through our business referral list we have the ability to recommend business professionals to our clients when appropriate. We always provide 2-3 names. It is our desire that our clients believe they have made the right choice not the only choice for their professional advisory team.
