For many business owners in the Jacksonville area, receiving an insurance audit notice can be a source of significant stress. Whether it is a routine Workers’ Compensation audit or a General Liability review, the process requires meticulous record-keeping and an intimate understanding of how insurance carriers classify your payroll and subcontractors.
At Beaches Bookkeeping, we take the burden of insurance audits off your plate. As Certified QuickBooks Pro Advisors with over 25 years of experience, we ensure that your records are organized, accurate, and ready for inspection. We don’t just hand over a stack of papers; we manage the process to ensure you aren’t overcharged for premiums due to clerical errors or missing documentation.
Comprehensive Audit Preparation & Management
Our team specializes in the critical “behind-the-scenes” work that makes an audit successful:
Premium Dispute Support: If an audit results in an unexpected “additional premium” bill, we help you review the findings for inaccuracies and provide the data needed to file a dispute.
Subcontractor Compliance: We help you maintain a rigorous system for collecting and tracking Certificates of Insurance (COI) from your subcontractors. If a subcontractor doesn’t have proper coverage, you could be held liable for their premiums—we make sure that doesn’t happen.
Payroll Classification: Insurance premiums are often based on payroll classes. We review your QuickBooks data to ensure employees are categorized correctly, preventing you from paying higher “high-risk” rates for administrative staff.
Audit Representation: We can act as your point of contact for the auditor, providing the specific reports they need (such as 941s, payroll summaries, and general ledgers) in a format they understand.
