FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Logistics and transportation accounting involves load and lane-level cost tracking, owner-operator settlement processing, IFTA and multi-state fuel tax reporting, and factoring reconciliation. These disciplines require industry-specific expertise that generalist accounting firms typically do not have.

It gives fleets and logistics providers access to industry-specific expertise at a lower cost than hiring and managing an internal team.
