Financial Reporting
Financial reporting includes the following monthly reports: (1) Balance Sheet; (2) Income Statement, with budget to actual comparisons; (3) Designated Funds Report; and (4) Bank Reconciliation Reports.
Accounts Payable
Accounts payable processing and check printing are performed by WatersEdge based solely on specific authorization from you. We record payable transactions in the accounting system and then provide a PDF file of checks to be printed on your check stock in your office. This allows you to maintain control over the issuance of checks and retain the ability to issue manual checks, if needed.
Bank Reconciliations
Bank reconciliations are performed on all checking, savings, and investment accounts based on bank statements and online access you provide to us. We provide a bank reconciliation report on each account as part of your standard reports.
Payroll Services
We provide full-service payroll for all full-time and part-time employees. This includes coordinating the collection and transmission of payroll information for new/termed employees and processing each payroll cycle with salary and hourly information. WatersEdge also prepares and submits quarterly tax deposits and provides annual tax reports (W-2 and W-3).
Contribution Tracking
Charitable giving tracking is performed according to your requirements. Tracking services include quarterly contribution statements for donor review and verification, as well as the preparation of annual contribution statements for donor tax records.
