REQUEST AN EVALUATIONProtea Provides Flexible, Bookkeeping Solutions
With a management team and account managers based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Protea provides business owners and managers with financial information and insight for making decisions. Protea’s goal is to provide, at costs below the market average, timely, accurate, and high-quality financial information on which a business can act.
Protea specializes in removing burdens and responsibilities of finding, managing, and training an accountant or bookkeeper.
Protea can provide any combination of standard bookkeeping and accounting, either as a fully-outsourced service managed by Protea or by adding a dedicated full-time or part-time accounting professional to your team at a significantly lower cost than what you would pay to hire an accountant or bookkeeper.
Our Capabilities
We can’t move mountains, but, we’ll move the needle for your organization. Our team is dedicated to providing you the opportunity to focus on what you do best. Our team specializes in services ranging from bookkeeping and
general ledger management to detailed management accounts and inventory tracking.
General Ledger
The central repository for all assets and liabilities. Accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash management, fixed assets, purchasing, and projects.
Financial Reporting
Financial reporting to share with stakeholders in your business – both internal and external. Primary focus on income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows
Tax Schedules
Our team will support your CPA by determining your income earned and taxes that will need to be paid on a quarterly or annual basis.
Inventory Tracking
Reconciliation of purchase orders, emails from suppliers and invoices against your inventory reporting to find the opportunity to reduce overhead and optimize purchasing.
Cash Flow Projections
A critical and timely piece of financial reporting. We will develop the report documenting cash flowing in and out of your business.

Budget To Actual
The report that displays where you are in your fiscal year versus what was projected in the budget.
Mgmt. Accounts
Management accounts include your income statement, cash flow analysis, accounts receivable, accounts payable, overhead costs, sales forecasts, and value of inventory on hand.
