What Happens When You Book a Call With KnowVisory's Accounting Team
A straightforward look at the agenda, prep work, and next steps for evaluating outsourced accounting. Accurate books. Timely reports.
Why Schedule a Consultation Call With KnowVisory
The call is a diagnostic conversation, not a sales pitch. It's a free 30–45 minute session where our team learns about your current accounting setup, pain points, and goals before recommending anything.
- No obligation — you leave with a clear picture of what outsourced accounting can and can't solve for your business
- Our team reviews your systems, processes, and bottlenecks to recommend the right engagement model
- We ask questions and listen first — you won't get a generic proposal built off a template
- Led by people with 15+ years of finance and accounting experience, not a scripted sales rep
What We'll Cover During Your Call
Expect the conversation to move through these areas:
- Your current setup — systems in use (QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, SAP, Zoho Books), team size, and internal bandwidth
- Pain points — late books, audit concerns, payroll errors, or lack of cash flow visibility
- Business complexity — your revenue model and any industry-specific needs, such as ASC 606 revenue recognition or multi-state payroll
- Timeline and budget — when you need support in place and what you're expecting to spend
- Security and integration questions — how we handle data access and connect with your existing systems without disrupting workflows
- Engagement model fit — a high-level look at whether Fully Managed, Staff Augmentation, or Build-Operate-Transfer suits your situation
How to Prepare for Your Consultation
Know your current system
Have your accounting platform name handy (QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, SAP, or Zoho Books) or a rough sense of your chart of accounts.
List your top challenges
Write down your 3–5 biggest accounting bottlenecks — late books, payroll mistakes, unclear cash flow, or audit prep stress.
Estimate your volume
Have a rough number ready for invoices per month, employees on payroll, and number of bank accounts.
Have a budget range in mind
Even a loose range helps us recommend a realistic scope. Pricing starts at $7.5/hour for standard services.
Don't overprepare
No detailed financial packet is needed. We're here to ask the right questions and surface what matters most to your business.
What Happens After Your Call
Within 1–2 business days, you receive a customized summary of our findings and a recommended service package. The proposal includes:
- Pricing, starting from $7.5/hour for standard services (up to $20/hour for industry-specific work)
- Scope of work and which engagement model fits best
- Timeline for onboarding
- Details on how we integrate with your existing accounting or ERP system
You can ask follow-up questions or request a second call to go deeper on a specific service, like ASC 606 compliance or multi-state payroll. If you decide to move forward, onboarding is designed to start quickly with minimal disruption to your current workflows.
Who Should Attend Your Call
The Decision-Maker
The business owner, founder, or CFO driving the outsourcing decision should be on the call to ask questions and evaluate fit directly.
Your Internal Finance Contact
A controller or office manager who currently handles bookkeeping or payroll can speak to specific pain points and current processes.
Your CPA or Tax Advisor (Optional)
Useful to include if the call will touch on ASC 606 revenue recognition, tax-specific needs, or coordination with your existing tax preparer.
Not sure where to start?
Tell us what you are trying to solve and we will come back with a scoped next step — no obligation.
Common Questions About the Call
Will you ask for financial information during the call? We only ask general-level questions about your systems and volume. We don't request login credentials or detailed data access on day one — that happens after you decide to move forward.
How do you maintain confidentiality? All conversations are covered under NDA. Our team has 15+ years of accounting experience handling sensitive financial data and follows strict data security practices.
What if we're not ready to outsource? The call stays low-pressure. If outsourcing isn't the right move yet, we'll say so and give you honest feedback along with a roadmap for when it might make sense.
