Cottrill Arbutina provides secure, online accounting and bookkeeping for foreign-owned companies that have small facilities or sales offices in the United States. Clients can access their data in a secure environment, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from anywhere in the world, using an online solution provided by the firm.

As an outsourced service, Cottrill Arbutina helps clients avoid the need to employ a U.S. controller, and generally precludes the U.S. manager from the burdensome responsibility of handling payroll, benefits, bookkeeping and bill-paying. The service is particularly effective for corporate entities that are downsizing but not dissolving, and can help these companies preserve U.S. tax losses via a shell company structure.

This approach automates the payment process and does away with the need for paper-based checks. Using an online accounting solution, the system aligns with the client's bank for electronic transfer of funds, as directed by the client.

Additional benefits of this service include a high level of expertise, standard turnaround time, substantial savings in cost and overhead, and reduced levels of responsibilities for management.

Case Study - A French-based client sends a batch of data to Cottrill Arbutina, which performs the raw data entry. Within a day, the client views its total U.S. financial picture online. The client also retrieves and reviews its data simultaneously with its U.S. employees, and/or with Cottrill Arbutina staff, and approves payments and disbursements.
