Service FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How we work, what it costs, and how to get started. Looking for tax questions? See our Tax FAQs.

What services do you offer?

Our core services are Fractional CFO & Strategy, Cash Flow Forecasting & Management, Tax Liability Advisory, Job & Project Costing, and Zoho Consulting. Add-on services, available alongside an advisory engagement, include Bookkeeping & Data Entry; Payroll, 1099 & Sales Tax; and AP & AR Services.

Do you prepare or file tax returns?

No. We focus on real-time tax liability advisory: tracking what you owe as the year goes, planning with you monthly or quarterly, and sizing your estimated payments. We work alongside your CPA or tax preparer, who prepares and files your return.

Who will manage my account?

Suzanne Leonard, founder and CEO of Corvus Accounting, personally manages every engagement. She is a non-CPA accountant and financial & operations strategist, a Certified Zoho Advisor, and brings a decade of experience to every client.

How much do your services cost?

Pricing is customized to your business. There are no standard packages, and you never pay for services you don’t use. Monthly engagements typically run about $500 to $1,500 per month. Quarterly tax advisory typically runs about $600 to $3,000, based on an analysis report of your business.

How do I get started?

Book a free consultation. If we’re a good fit, you’ll receive a contract and statement of work to review and sign. Work begins within seven days once we have the access and permissions we need.

What industries do you work with?

We specialize in trades and service businesses: plumbers, electricians, HVAC, contractors, landscapers, and similar companies. We work with most service-based businesses, with the exception of nonprofits that receive government grants.

What makes Corvus different from a bookkeeper or CPA?

Most accountants tell you what already happened. We take a holistic view of your whole business and help you decide what happens next, using real-time data, rolling cash flow forecasts, job costing, and Profit First principles. We also bring deep automation expertise, especially in Zoho, so your systems do more of the work.

What software do you work with?

We are a Certified Zoho Advisor and implement, automate, and train teams on Zoho Books, Zoho CRM, Zoho Projects, and Zoho One. We can also work inside the software you already use, and we’ll help you choose and set up the right tools if you need a new system.

How often will my books and reports be updated?

Bookkeeping under a monthly contract is completed weekly. Cash flow forecasts, tax liability reviews, and other services follow the schedule we set together based on your needs.

How will we communicate?

However works best for you: email, phone, text, or chat. You work directly with Suzanne, not a rotating team.

Do you work with businesses outside Tennessee?

Yes. We serve clients nationwide from west of Nashville, and support businesses with multi-state requirements and foreign subsidiaries.

How do you keep my financial data secure?

We use industry-standard secure software and best practices, keep all client information confidential, and follow applicable privacy regulations. See our Privacy Policy for details.
