Before you hire a bookkeeper for a State Farm agency, ask how the firm handles State Farm compensation, team pay and contractor pay, and the handoff to your CPA. Trident serves State Farm agents nationwide, and the work is fully remote.
Each answer starts with what you should hear, then how Trident handles that part of the work.
A good answer is yes, with specifics: they already work with State Farm agencies, they can read commission statements, and they explain how those deposits are categorized instead of treating them as one commission check. Trident's specialty is State Farm agents, with a year-end income breakout from Agency Comp reports, and Agency Pro adds a revenue split by Auto, Fire, Life and Health. See bookkeeping for State Farm agents.
A good answer explains team pay and contractor pay in plain language, matched to your payroll reports, and says the firm does not run payroll. Trident enters payroll journal entries matched to those reports and does not run payroll.
A good answer names a calendar date. Trident delivers monthly financials by month-end on Core and by the 20th on Agency Pro, or by the 10th with Priority Close on Agency Pro, and that month's fee is waived if the financials are late. See the plans page.
A good answer gives you a person's name. The consult is with Ryan Harwell, founder and owner, and Agency Pro includes a dedicated account manager. Book a free 15-minute consultation.
A good answer is that you keep your CPA. Trident does not prepare or file tax returns, and at year end your CPA gets a clean file, including an income breakout from Agency Comp reports. See what Trident handles for a State Farm agency.
A good answer names the software and confirms you keep access to your financials. Trident keeps financials in Kick, and agencies that use QuickBooks Online can stay on QuickBooks Online. See how the software is set up.
A good answer looks at the current financials before monthly work starts. At Trident, that conversation is the consult, and monthly service is a fixed fee after that point. Book a consult rather than guessing the scope.
A good answer tells you how often you will talk, and those conversations are part of the plan. Trident includes review calls on the plan you choose: mid-year and year-end, or a quarterly review on Agency Pro. Book a free 15-minute consultation.
A good answer gives a start window, not an open end. Most State Farm agents are onboarded in about 7 to 10 business days after the agreement is signed and access is in place, and monthly work then starts on the next month-end close. Book a free 15-minute consultation to pick a start date.
