A real number. Every hour on the invoice.
A written estimate in hours and dollars before anything starts, and a bill you can audit line by line. No tiers, no bundles, no decoder ring.
Three things, done properly
All of them end the same way: books your tax preparer can pick up without calling you once.
Monthly bookkeeping
You get a month that actually closes, on a date you can plan around, with statements written for a business owner rather than an auditor.
- Categorized and reconciled to the statement, not to a guess
- P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and month-over-month comparison
- A short video walking you through what moved and why
- A monthly call if you want to talk it through
Cleanup and catch-up
Months behind, personal spending tangled in, two half-abandoned systems. You get a clean starting line and a year that finally closes, priced from a real look at the books instead of a flinch.
- Historical rebuild in QuickBooks Online
- Every account reconciled back to statements
- A chart of accounts that answers questions instead of raising them
- A year-end package that ties out
Payroll
Everyone gets paid, every filing lands, and it reconciles to the books every period, so payroll stops being the thing that ruins a quarter.
- Platform selection and setup, or we take over yours
- Processing, direct deposit, and filings
- W-2s and 1099s out on time
- Quarter-end and year-end without the scramble
What actually happens, and when
Thorough beats fast, and we will say that out loud. Nobody here is going to promise your books tomorrow. What you get instead is a rhythm you can build a company around.
You stop wondering
- A written progress note on where your books stand
- Anything we need from you, marked clearly, in one place
- Open questions in a shared sheet you fill in when convenient
- Budget tracking, with overages approved by you in advance
The close, in the same order every time
- Bank feeds cleared; AP, AR, and undeposited funds squared
- Bank, credit card, and loan accounts reconciled to statements
- Sales tax and payroll liabilities checked and filed where due
- Suspense worked to zero, fixed assets and equity reviewed
- Checked before anything reaches you
- Statement package, a walkthrough video, and a call if you want one
The things that bite in April
- Payroll filings tied back to the books
- Sales tax filed where you owe it
- 1099-eligible vendors flagged early enough to collect a W-9
- A look at what is trending the wrong way while you can still steer
A handoff, not a fire drill
- Year-end package that ties out, sent to your tax preparer
- Fixed assets, depreciation schedules, and equity reconciled
- W-2s and 1099s out on time
- A clean opening balance for January
You will know what this costs before it costs anything
We look at the books first. Then you get a number built from what is actually in there, in hours and in dollars, before any work starts.

Cleanup

Looking for more than bookkeeping?
Leadership, culture, vendor negotiation, software that never got adopted, operations that only run when you are watching. That is a practice of its own, priced separately, and it is not a bolt-on to your monthly close.
