Sound familiar?
Because bookkeeping is the job that waits. Customers come first, then the work, then the phone, and the books get whatever is left on a Sunday night. It isn't hard work. It just has to be done every month, and that's the part we take.
"You shouldn't have to dread opening QuickBooks. Send us the mess and we'll keep it tidy every month."

The bank feed has 400 transactions waiting, and every week it gets harder to start.
We catch you up, then keep it current every month.
You finished the job three weeks ago. The invoice is still in your head.
We send your invoices and follow up on the unpaid ones.
There's cash in the account, but you couldn't say what last month looked like.
We send a plain one-page report every month.
Every spring you dig for receipts and hand your tax preparer a mess.
We hand them clean, finished books at year-end.

What's included
A bookkeeper records what came in and what went out, matches it to the bank, sends the invoices, and gives you a clear picture each month. That's what we do, in QuickBooks Online, for a flat monthly fee.
Every deposit, charge, and payment sorted into the right category, so your numbers mean something.

We match your books to your bank and credit card statements each month and track down anything that's off.

Do I need a bookkeeper or an accountant?
Most small businesses need both, for different jobs. A bookkeeper keeps the records current every month. An accountant or CPA does your taxes and gives tax advice, usually once or a few times a year. We're the bookkeeper, and we hand clean books to your tax preparer.
What's included in basic bookkeeping?
Categorizing your transactions, reconciling your bank and card accounts, sending invoices, following up on unpaid ones, and a one-page report each month. We also set up QuickBooks and clean up books that have fallen behind.
Are you CPAs? Do you do taxes?
No to both. We don't prepare tax returns, give tax advice, or file payroll or sales tax. We keep your books accurate so the person who does your taxes has what they need.
My books are months behind. Can you catch me up?
Yes. That's where most people start. We look at how far back it goes, give you a price for the catch-up, and then keep it current from there.
What software do you use?
QuickBooks Online. If you already have it, you invite us in as a user. If you don't, we'll set it up for you.
Do I have to give you my bank password?
No. You invite us into your QuickBooks account with our own login, and QuickBooks pulls in your bank transactions. We don't need your bank password and we can't move your money.
How much does bookkeeping cost?
A flat monthly fee based on how many accounts and transactions you have. We look at your books first and give you the price in writing before we start. Catch-up work is quoted separately.
Can I add this to a marketing plan?
Yes. Bookkeeping can be added to any of our monthly plans, or you can have it on its own. Either way you text the same two people.
We handle the rest of the back office too: tech help, getting a new business set up, and bringing in more customers.
