Who we are and what is our focus
Stonybrook Accounting & Consulting, LLC focuses on small business. The nature of a small business requires an owner to fully participate in all aspects of the business at all times. For this reason, we strive to support the small business owner in a multi-faceted approach (including the use of technology, systems efficiency, organizational operations, and informative reporting) for the purpose of bringing more time to the owner in a day. Accounting is not only a fundamental piece of the business, but it also drives processes - how are payments collected from customers? how are bills paid? how are employees paid? These elements (and more) effect how an owner sets up the foundations of the business, no matter if the business is a single home-based business, a brick and mortar retail store/restaurant or client-service based. A partnership with Stonybrook will provide a small business owner with unwavering support and expertise to grow as well as give the owner the confidence that the business is operating efficiently.

OUR SERVICES
BUILDING A BUSINESS PLAN
Small businesses are built on the entrepreneurial spirit of the business owner. The next steps of actually getting the business up and running can be overwhelming. Stonybrook Accounting & Consulting, LLC provides advisory services for development of the business plan, including entity structure, state licensing/registration, and funding needs.
STRATEGY AND OPERATION
A small business that begins building gradually or realizes the potential for immediate growth may need guidance on "where is this business going and how do I get there?" Stonybrook Accounting & Consulting, LLC provides advisory services on strategies for future growth as well as efficacy in operations.
IMPROVING PROCESSES
A small business normally starts off "small" - sometimes very small, for instance, one or two individuals, and then the hope is that the business grows. With expansion, there are growing pains that can occur - systems and processes may never have been developed to support the growth. Stonybrook Accounting & Consulting, LLC is able to learn your business and advise on the changes needed for systems and processes so you have confidence that your business can handle its volume of activity and provide you with data and reporting to assist in decision-making.
SUPPORT FOR QUICKBOOKS

Existing customers may find they need services for individual or multi-level troubleshooting, cleaning up the books, or integrating third party applications. All of these services can be provided by Stonybrook Accounting & Consulting, LLC.

restaurant
industry needs
Restaurant and bar businesses have a complexity that Stonybrook understands. Is the business looking for the integration of a new point-of-sale system? Not only is there the impact on the restaurant staff for learning a new system, but also back of the house management has to adjust to multi-level reporting. Stonybrook can alleviate the aches and pains that come along with implementing a new POS system. Does your business have an inventory control issue? Costs of goods sold analysis and inventory valuations allow for better decision making. An external service provider for monthly reporting allows restaurants to increase sales by focusing on their menu and customers rather than the data collection and report preparation. The integration of POS and accounting systems is a game changer for bars and restaurants. Stonybrook Accounting & Consulting, LLC brings unique expertise to the blending of these two areas by having both accounting expertise as well as many years of restaurant experience.
