Frequently asked questions

Why should my startup choose a boutique firm over a large accounting agency?

Large firms often treat small clients as "entry-level" accounts. At DNM, we provide a boutique experience, meaning you get direct access to senior expertise—including Big 4 (E&Y) experience—tailored specifically to your business goals. You aren't just a number; you’re a partner.

How does having a Big 4 background benefit my small business?

Big 4 training (Ernst & Young) instills a level of precision, ethical standards, and analytical rigor used by Fortune 500 companies. We bring that same "enterprise-grade" financial discipline to your SME or startup, ensuring your books are audit-ready and professional from day one.

What is the difference between basic bookkeeping and strategic accounting?

Bookkeeping is the recording of past transactions. Strategic accounting, which DNM specializes in, is about the future. We help you interpret those numbers to manage cash flow, identify tax-saving opportunities, and make sound decisions for long-term thrive.

Can DNM Accounting help me prepare for a successful business exit?

Yes. Having personally navigated a successful startup exit, our leadership understands exactly what buyers look for during due diligence. We ensure your financial records are clean, transparent, and structured to maximize your company's valuation.

Should my business use Cash or Accrual basis accounting?

While many small businesses start with Cash basis for simplicity, Accrual accounting is often preferred by investors and provides a truer picture of your financial health. We evaluate your specific industry and growth stage to recommend the method that best serves your stakeholders.

When is the right time for a startup to outsource their accounting?

The moment your "DIY" bookkeeping begins to take time away from product development or sales, it's time to outsource. Professional oversight early on prevents "catch-up" accounting fees and ensures you don't miss critical tax deadlines.

What are the common tax mistakes small business owners make?

The most frequent errors include commingling personal and business funds, missing quarterly estimated payments, and failing to claim the R&D tax credit. Our proactive tax preparation ensures you stay compliant while keeping more of your revenue.

How do tailored accounting solutions improve my decision-making?

Generic reports don't tell the whole story. We customize your KPI (Key Performance Indicator) tracking so you can see exactly where your margins are thinning or where your ROI is highest, allowing for data-backed strategic moves.

What specific services does DNM offer for SMEs?

We offer a comprehensive suite: full-cycle bookkeeping, year-round tax preparation, financial statement analysis, and strategic advisory services. Our goal is to be your "external CFO."

Does DNM Accounting assist with multi-state tax compliance?

Yes. As your business grows and hires remote employees, you create "nexus" in new states. We help you navigate the complexities of state-specific payroll taxes and filing requirements to avoid costly penalties.

How do you ensure our sensitive financial data stays secure?

Security is our top priority. We use industry-leading, encrypted cloud-accounting platforms and follow strict data-handling protocols established during our years of Big 4 experience.

What qualifies as a "reasonable salary" for an S-Corp owner?

This is a high-scrutiny area for the IRS. We use a method-based approach—considering your experience, education (like our Masters from CSUN), and industry benchmarks—to determine a salary that minimizes taxes while remaining compliant.

Can you help me understand my Cash Flow Statement?

Absolutely. Many owners focus only on the Profit & Loss (P&L), but Cash Flow is what keeps the lights on. We walk you through your statements monthly so you understand the timing of your inflows and outflows.

What makes DNM different from a standard tax preparer?

A tax preparer looks back at the year once it's over. DNM is a year-round partner. We love helping company owners thrive by providing continuous insights that prevent surprises during tax season.

How do I get started with DNM Accounting services?

We begin with a consultation to understand your current challenges and goals. From there, we design a tailored plan that fits your current size and scales as you grow.
