Why choose us

# Why MCC Solutions

A small firm is not better for everyone. Here is what you get from a principal-led firm in Cranford, how it differs from the large online bookkeepers, and when you should choose someone else.

## What you get

- **The person doing the work answers the phone.** Matthew Coleman does the bookkeeping and the review. There is no handoff between a salesperson, a support queue and a junior preparer.

- **Your books stay in your own software.** We work in QuickBooks or Xero under your login. The website, domain and accounts remain yours, and nothing is held hostage if you leave.

- **A written scope and price before work starts.** The [bookkeeping quote](/bookkeeping/#interest) shows a monthly price from your own numbers. Catch-up and monthly reporting prices are published on their pages, and you can ask for a plain "not a fit" answer instead.

- **Real credentials, stated plainly.** B.S.B.A. in Accounting & Finance from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, QuickBooks ProAdvisor Gold, $100,000 errors and omissions coverage, and a commissioned New Jersey notary public.

- **New Jersey knowledge.** We write about and work with New Jersey rules, such as the state's contractor test and state filing dates, because that is where our clients are.

- **Notary prices shown before you book.** New Jersey sets the fee cap per notarial act. Any service or travel fee is shown separately before you book, and your card is charged after the session.

## How it compares

This is a general comparison of business models, not a ranking of named companies. Check any firm's current prices and terms yourself.

| Topic | Large online bookkeeping firm | MCC Solutions |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Who does the work | Usually a team, with a support queue | One accountant, directly |
| Software | Often their own platform or a set plan | Yours: QuickBooks, Xero or what you already use |
| Pricing | Published entry plans, with add-ons and sales calls above them | Written quote from your own numbers; add-on prices published |
| Local knowledge | National coverage | New Jersey rules and deadlines |
| Hours and scale | Built for volume, often with long support hours | A small client list and personal attention; no 24/7 desk for books |
| Tax filing | Some bundle it | Separate service: individual, self-employed and small business returns |
| Notary | Not offered | Remote online and mobile notary, prices shown first |

## When we are not the right fit

- You need tax returns, an audit or legal advice. MCC Solutions is not a CPA or law firm, so those stay with your CPA or attorney.

- You want the lowest possible price for basic transaction coding. Software with automated rules or a large online firm may cost less.

- You need a big team, many entities, multi-currency work or investor reporting on a fixed schedule.

- You need a notary at 2 a.m. A large on-demand platform may suit you better.

If we are not the right fit, we will tell you that on the first call.
