Common questions

Everything you want to know
before reaching out.

If your question isn't here, just give us a call: (985) 351-4776.

What's the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
Bookkeeping is the day-to-day recording of financial transactions — income, expenses, invoices, payments. Accounting takes that data and turns it into financial statements, tax filings, and strategic insights. At Clearview, we do both — which means your bookkeeping feeds directly into your accounting and CFO work, all in one place.
How does outsourcing payroll actually work?
When you outsource payroll with Clearview, we handle everything: calculating wages, withholding taxes, processing direct deposits, filing payroll tax returns, and staying current with compliance requirements. You tell us who worked and how many hours — we take it from there. We use industry-leading payroll software (including Paylocity) to keep everything accurate and on time.
What does an outsourced or fractional CFO actually do?
An outsourced CFO provides strategic financial leadership without the full-time cost. That includes building budgets and forecasts, creating financial dashboards and board-level reports, advising on cash flow, pricing strategy, and growth decisions — and acting as a financial thought partner when you're facing a major business decision. It's CFO-level thinking at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
Do I have to use QuickBooks?
QuickBooks Online is our primary platform and what we recommend for most businesses starting fresh. That said, we work across a wide range of tools — including Shopify, Bill.com, Expensify, Gusto, ADP, and others. If you're already running on a platform you like, we'll work with you in it. If you're not sure what makes sense, we'll give you an honest recommendation based on your business — not what's easiest for us.
How is Clearview different from a national service like Bench or Bookkeeper360?
National services are built for volume — you get a different person every time you call and a generic process that doesn't account for your business's specifics. Clearview is local, relationship-driven, and built to be your long-term financial partner. We know Southeast Louisiana's business environment, tax landscape, and the people our clients work with. And because we offer bookkeeping, payroll, HR, sales tax, and CFO services all under one roof, everything is connected — no silos, no gaps.
How long does onboarding take?
Most clients are fully onboarded within 1–2 weeks. We start with a consultation call, gather access to your existing accounts and records, and build a clear picture of your current financial state. From there, we get to work — and most clients tell us the transition took less time than they expected.
What size businesses do you work with?
We work with businesses of all sizes — from solo operators and early-stage startups to mid-size companies with multiple locations and 100+ employees. Our services scale with you. Many clients start with basic bookkeeping and add payroll or outsourced CFO services as they grow.
What industries do you specialize in?
We've worked across a wide range of industries including restaurants, retail, healthcare, real estate, industrial, professional services, technology, and hospitality. Our client list includes everything from local restaurants and specialty retailers to anesthesia practices and industrial supply companies. If you run a business, we can almost certainly help you.
