ECS Financial Services, Inc.
ECS Financial Services is one of only a few CPA firms in the United States that specializes in providing portfolio management, accounting, tax, and management advisory services to the equipment leasing industry. Our lease management team of highly skilled accountants and tax specialists are experienced in providing quality professional service in the management of lease portfolios, and their efforts are enhanced by the state of the art, industry-specific software we utilize.
ECS Financial Services provides lease management services including accounts receivable billing and collections, preparation of monthly gross investment, lease income and residual schedules, as well as a variety of useful management reports, book and tax depreciation tracking, and other related needs.
ECS Financial Services provides accurate and timely reports that enable management to make sound decisions, and develop strategies for the optimum management of their portfolio and business. ECS also prepares multiple state sales tax, and personal property tax returns for each jurisdiction involved, including tracking of due dates.
In addition to our portfolio management services, ECS Financial Services can also maintain your general ledger and other accounting records, and prepare financial statements and income tax returns, including multiple state returns, for business entities and individuals. If you would like to retain the services of your current accountant, ECS Financial Services will provide journal entries and other relevant accounting data to your in-house accountant or independent accounting firm for their use in preparing financial statements and income tax returns.
ECS Financial Services caters to leasing companies who need to satisfy all of the accounting and reporting requirements of their portfolio, but either cannot justify the cost of an in-house staff with all of the skills and experience necessary to meet those needs, or simply don’t want the pressures of handling these responsibilities in-house. We can provide the flexibility and assistance necessary to meet your back-office needs. Additionally, our services are not a bundled package; you are able to select which services you feel would be most beneficial to your organization.
Outsourcing the management of your lease portfolio to ECS Financial Services will result in cost savings by providing your company with all of the resources of a team of experts without the overhead. We are the single solution to all of your lease accounting and reporting needs. Let us put our experience to work for you wherever it is needed in accounting, income tax and lease portfolio management.
