accounting services
Professional number crunching
Accounting services are professional financial services provided by accountants or firms—bookkeeping, tax preparation, auditing, payroll processing, and financial consulting.
The term appears most often in business contexts when companies outsource financial record-keeping: We hired a firm to handle our accounting services.
Small businesses commonly contract for accounting services rather than employing full-time staff.
