What is FinancePal

FinancePal is an online platform and network of tax professionals that offers customized financial services for small businesses. It acts as a one-stop shop for all a business’s tax and accounting needs, providing bookkeeping, accounting and tax prep services.

FinancePal’s services can be combined and customized to deliver a streamlined solution for each business on its roster. Its services are available for C-Corporations, partnerships, S-Corporations and sole proprietors.

How does FinancePal work?

FinancePal is a solution for businesses that need tax support and want to outsource the work to a one-stop shop. Its experienced CPAs and tax practitioners are versed in small business accounting and tax requirements and are ready to jump into day-to-day work as needed. Each business is assigned a dedicated, U.S.-based financial team.

These professionals work within FinancePal’s user-friendly tools and interfaces to automate data population and make working together a streamlined experience. The team also provides easy-to-understand reports and data to help make financial decisions easier.

Together, these services and support can fulfill the need to hire an internal tax expert or tax team; a business can avoid juggling multiple service providers throughout the year. This can help save companies time and money when it comes to payroll services and tax prep.

FinancePal services

You can pick and choose from FinancePal’s services to create a customized and streamlined payroll service plan that works best for your specific business. FinancePal offers quite a few services, including:

  • Accounting
  • Bookkeeping
  • Tax preparation
  • Payroll
  • Catch-up

Within these services, you can expect FinancePal’s tasks to include recording and reconciling transactions, maintaining timely and accurate financial records and creating plans that maximize your tax savings.

How much does FinancePal cost?

It’s unclear exactly how much FinancePal costs, as each service plan is customized to each customer. Each solution is tailored to the business client and includes custom pricing. You can select FinancePal’s services a la carte or as an all-inclusive package, depending on the level of service your business needs. The company offers options for both flat, affordable monthly rates and annual payments.

As of publishing, you can’t get a free quote online. You’ll have to work directly with FinancePal to get a quote for its services and design a plan that works for your budget. Your costs will be scaled as your business grows.

Is FinancePal legit?

FinancePal has more than six years of experience in the industry, but its website is a bit limited in terms of in-depth info on its services, and there’s not much external coverage of the company. For example, it’s unclear if the pricing is based on a contract or if there’s a cancellation policy in place for its clients.

The company does offer a wide variety of services and support, so it’s an option worth considering. Start with a custom quote and consultation to see what your customized services and rates might look like.

    This was my first time reaching out to them and they were able to solve the issue. I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I heard a lot of stories beforehand but the i had an instinct to try it out. Not bad.

My experience with them has been great and I like their staff.

He always wants to do the right thing, does not hesitate to give candid advice, and is willing to help.

      I have been working with Jason ** of Finance Pal for about 5 months now, and it has been an absolute pleasure. At first, I was concerned about choosing the right finance specialist to help my company (and myself, personally) with our taxes. We're so lucky we found Jason. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and clearly explains everything we need to do. I couldn't be happier with the help and guidance he provides us.

      I own Paradigm Pest Management Inc. I came to Community Tax over a year ago. I had the IRS and the Florida Dept. of Revenue to deal with. Anyone can go into business for themselves. You may know your craft, skill or trade. This doesn't mean you know how to run a business. It doesn't mean you have the discipline to run one. I was flying by the seat of my pants with no checks or balances. Jason ** was assigned as my accountant. He is professional and polite, a trait that seems to be waning in business these days. More importantly Jason is patient and he listens. I'll admit I am not very good at the business aspect of what I do. I am very good at killing stuff, not so much at the financial aspect of my business.

      Jason listens to my concerns and has been teaching me the right way to do things. He has me on a budget (never had one of those) and now I collect a paycheck. Jason is very responsive when I reach out to him. My emails are answered sometimes within minutes. My business has had its best year ever in its 17 year history with about a $7,000 increase over the previous year. Even now we are already trending to beat that this year. These numbers don't sound like much, to me they are huge. This is in part due to Jason's help and guidence. He is an asset to Paradigm Pest Management and I look forward to many years more in our business relationship. Jim **. President. Paradigm Pest Management Inc. **.

      Jason is an excellent account rep. He always answers promptly and explains everything. His attention to detail is greatly appreciated and his knowledge base is impressive. I came to Jason as a new business owner who knew absolutely nothing and Jason always took the time to help with even the smallest thing. I would highly recommend!!
