2 2 Business of the Month Accu-Pay Payroll and Bookkeeping Services, Inc. is a payroll and bookkeeping company located in the Village of Fayetteville. The payroll company was founded in July 2010 by CPAs Mario Bottoni and Greg Wilt in response to many of their clients displeasure with the service and inflexibility of the large box payroll services. The bookkeeping service was added before the end of that same year. Mario Bottoni, CPA: It was something we began just to help our existing tax clients, but word soon spread and we are now adding at least one new client per month. We are very fortunate to be in a business where clients are seeking us and not need be out there pounding the pavement. We are also very grateful for the way we have been welcomed by the town and the local business community. Greg Wilt, CPA: It almost immediately followed from there that we should couple our offering with a bookkeeping service. We had been aware for years that many of our smaller clients displayed, let s call it underwhelming prowess in their bookkeeping skills but whose businesses were too small to hire a competent bookkeeper. It really completed our portfolio of services to the point where we can now offer a one-stop solution by having payroll, bookkeeping, accounting, tax and personal financial planning services under one roof.
