Does any of this sound familiar?
You're not alone. If any of this rings true, it's not a you problem; it's a systems problem. And it's fixable.
You don't actually know whether the business is making money.
Personal and business expenses are mixed together.
Your accounts have never been reconciled, or not in months.
Tax season turns into a last-minute emergency every year.
But don't panic. We've seen this before, and there's a process for fixing it.
We'll tell you what it will cost before we start.
We don't touch a single transaction until you know what the cleanup will cost. Then we go to work getting your books current, accurate, and ready for tax preparation.
Depending on what we find, that may include:
Reconciling your accounts
Cleaning up transaction errors
Properly categorizing expenses
Separating personal and business activity
No guessing. No running meter. No surprises halfway through the cleanup.
Once you're caught up, we keep you that way.
It's easier to keep you out of trouble than to get you out of trouble. That's the whole idea behind our monthly bookkeeping plan: once your books are current, we make sure they stay that way, every month, without the year-end scramble.
You know where your business stands. Tax season becomes routine instead of an annual emergency.
One team. Clear pricing. No handoff.
Because we handle your bookkeeping and your business tax return under one roof, clients on a monthly plan also save on their business tax preparation.
Why? Because we already know your books. We're not starting from scratch at tax time or spending time figuring out someone else's bookkeeping.
Why the books come first
Everything else in your business is built on top of them.

Who this is for
If you run a business, you need bookkeeping. The only question is who's doing it.
You, at 11pm on a Sunday? Software that just records whatever you type? Or someone who actually knows what the numbers mean. The books still have to be right.
Owners doing it
themselves
Nights and weekends in a
spreadsheet you're not sure is right.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Xero Setup
Growing past DIY
More accounts, more volume, and
more than can quietly go wrong.
Payroll Support
Advisory
Books that fell behind
Months piled up, and no time — or stomach — to face them.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Never trusted your reports
You look at the numbers and quietly wonder if they're real.
Financial Reporting
Built for service businesses
Bookkeeping, done properly —
not just data entry.
Bank and credit-card statements, loan and equipment agreements, payroll records: you hand us the documents. We know where every number belongs, what it means, and what it may be costing you at tax time.
01
Source documents, organized
Hand us the pile: bank and credit-card statements, loan and equipment agreements, payroll records. We turn it into clean, organized books. Every figure traces back to a real document.
02
Transaction categorization
Every transaction coded to the right account, and coded the same way every month, so your reports stay consistent and comparable. Personal and business spending cleanly separated.
03
Monthly reconciliation
Every account (bank, credit-card, loan) matched to the penny, every month. This is your early-warning system. Someone's actually watching your accounts.
04
Schedules and journal entries
Depreciation schedules, loan amortization, payroll journal entries: the accounting-grade work most bookkeepers skip. It's the difference between books that just track cash and books that are actually correct.
05
Financial statements
A clean profit & loss and balance sheet every period. The real picture, on time, and yours to actually use. Your tax return is prepared straight from them.
06
Advisory, built in
When your bookkeeper is actually an accountant, advice comes with the territory. Should you become an S corp? What should you pay yourself? We're already in your numbers every month, so you get real answers at the right time.
Why the books comes first
Step 01
THE BOOKS
Every transaction categorized and reconciled. This is the source of truth. Everything else is built on it.
Step 02
YOUR DECISIONS
Cash flow, pricing, hiring, what you can take on: you can only steer with numbers you trust. Guess here, and you're guessing with real money.
Step 03
YOUR TAXES
Your return is only as accurate as the books behind it. Because we handle both, clean books flow straight into your return, and current numbers let us plan ahead instead of reconstructing the year in March.
Three Steps to Books You Can Trust
We know how service businesses actually run: subcontractors and 1099s, payroll and reasonable compensation, equipment, seasonal cash flow. It's who we work with every day.
We compare your books against your tax return, side by side, and show you the opportunities, the improvements, and the problems. An honest read on where you stand before either of us commits to anything.

Business tax return quoted separately
Your business return is prepared from these books and quoted on its own. Returns vary too much to price with a flat monthly figure. You'll get one firm number for both after the Books & Return Review.
Catch-up on books that have fallen behind is also quoted separately as a one-time project, so the monthly fee stays flat.
We'll give you a firm number after the Books & Return Review.
No quote until we've seen your books.
Our commitment to you
