PPP Accounting Services

The COVID-19 pandemic turned the U.S. economy upside down, sending many businesses into a panic to pay its employees and keep its doors open. Fortunately, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act created the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to keep workers on payroll during the pandemic and pay for needed business expenses.

Given the quick rollout of the first and second-draw PPP loans, and the unprecedented nature of the loan forgiveness application, accounting for a PPP loan is a complicated and tedious process. Instead of trying to interpret the application and forgiveness process on your own, Doeren Mayhew’s PPP accounting services help you to navigate the uncertainty of PPP loans.
