Accountant Needed

[eddiememphis]

I need a P&L statement of my business from an accountant or accounting firm.

Does anyone know someone that can do it for relatively inexpensively?

I'm assuming you are using some sort of accounting software already? If so you should just be able to print one out. If you are running your business out of a shoebox full of receipts you might be in trouble.

They want one from a CPA, not a knucklehead running Quickbooks.

All your CPA is going to do is print off your Quickbooks statement and sign it. Do you work with an accountant currently?

Nope- that's why I need one.

I found a lady that "may" do it for $60. I am waiting to hear from the lender to see what timeline they need.

I would be surprised at $60. That covers about ten to fifteen minutes of work.
If the lender wants an audit that is many thousands of dollars.
A financial review is a few thousand.
Re copying your QuickBooks statement should be a few hundred. The accountant has
to do some verification of the accuracy of your records.

Getting an actual CPA to speak to a new client before the 15th of this month will be difficult. It's a big hairy deadline for various entities, and most CPA's are working long hours right now.
