NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

1-800Accountant, the nation's leading tax and accounting firm for small-business, has teamed up with Sam's Club, a leading membership warehouse club, to offer a full suite of innovative accounting services that Sam's Club members can access from their mobile device. Available now at SamsClub.com/services, 1-800Accountant provides member-exclusive savings on critical business accounting and tax services starting at 29 dollars per month.

More and more small-business owners manage their business from their phones, and 1-800Accountant is providing them innovative mobile applications to make their taxes and accounting easier to handle with accessibility on any device. With services including tax preparation, tax consulting, bookkeeping, and audit support, 1-800Accountant is at the forefront of this mobile revolution. All services come with a dedicated accountant who can be accessed with the push of a button, ensuring that members' most important questions always get answered.

Business owners no longer need to worry about holding onto receipts; they simply take a picture with their phone and the information is uploaded to 1-800Accountant's secure, web-based bookkeeping system. Sam's Club members will never have to travel across-town to their accountant's office again. The new service requires a simple scan of tax documents or business accounting records to make everything available to dedicated accountants almost immediately for review and processing.

"We are thrilled to provide Sam's Club members with innovative mobile technology that makes managing their business accounting easier, with accessibility anywhere," said Michael Savage, CEO at 1-800Accountant. "We have put together a very unique accounting experience that Sam's Club members will see benefits from almost immediately. Customer interaction with their accountant has been stuck in the past for too long, accountants are seen as resistant to change. We are focused on changing that by bringing people into a closer, more collaborative relationship with their accountant, a relationship that saves members time, because interactions are seamless."

"Accounting and taxes are often a time-consuming struggle for our business members," said MiKaela Wardlaw Lemmon, vice president of Member Services at Sam's Club. "In response to member feedback, we join forces with 1-800Accountant to give small business owners an easier, faster way to outsource this critical operational need. Sam's Club members can now save money and time on accounting, bookkeeping and tax preparation so they can devote resources to more worthwhile activities, such as growing revenue, building their customer base or spending time with friends and family."
