Work History:
Staff Accountant January 2004 -
Present
Johnson and Company, CPA's, Inc., Roseville, CA
As a Staff Accountant for Johnson and Company, CPA's, Inc., I prepare
financial statements including income statements and balance sheets for
business entities including sole proprietorships, partnerships,
corporations, and non-profit organizations while adhering to Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). I prepare general ledger journal
entries; manage capital and intangible assets and related accumulated
depreciation and amortization accounts. I reconcile various client accounts
including bank and credit card accounts. I also prepare payroll for some
clients including preparing the employee checks, company monthly summaries
and annual reports.
Besides preparing financial statements, I also prepare federal and state
income tax returns for individuals and business entities in adherence to
the Internal Revenue Code and California Revenue and Taxation Code. In
order to prepare the tax returns, I gather documents, analyze balance
sheets and income statements, and review general ledger detail from clients
to prepare the tax returns. I reconcile the differences between the
company's book and tax return.
In addition to tax return preparation, I also prepare sales tax reports in
accordance with state law. In preparing the sales tax reports, I analyze
the client's sales reports and prepare the appropriate documents based on
the counties the client is doing business in.
I electronically file the client's tax returns; if documents are rejected,
I research and resolve the issues. At times, this involves working with the
various state and federal departments.
When necessary, I assist with administrative duties, including answering
the telephone, mailings, receiving payments from clients and managing the
office while my boss is out.
