Monthly Bookkeeping
A consistent month-end process for small businesses on QuickBooks Online or any platform you already use. Every account is reconciled, every transaction is categorized, and you receive clean financial statements on a predictable schedule.
You get a reliable monthly picture of your business, and your tax preparer gets books they can trust.
Included each month
- Bank reconciliations
- Credit-card reconciliations
- Transaction categorization
- Financial statements (P&L and Balance Sheet)
- Accounts receivable review
- Accounts payable review
- Loan reconciliations
- Payroll reconciliation
- Balance-sheet review
- Month-end close
Fix the past
Bookkeeping Cleanup
Books drift out of shape for lots of reasons — a busy year, a software change, or a well-meaning DIY effort. A cleanup engagement reviews your books, in QuickBooks Online or whatever platform you use, corrects what's wrong, and documents what was changed.
Cleanup is quoted as a fixed project fee after a review of your books — no surprise hourly bills.
Common cleanup projects
- Prior-year cleanup
- Unreconciled bank accounts
- Incorrect opening balances
- Suspense and uncategorized transactions
- Owner transactions (draws and contributions)
- Payroll discrepancies
- Credit-card problems
- Loan balances
- Fixed assets
- Equity accounts
Get current
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
If bookkeeping has fallen by the wayside, the fastest way back is a focused catch-up engagement. Every missing month is reconciled and categorized, then you move into a standard monthly process so it doesn't happen again.
“Your books are 8 months behind. I’ll bring them current and establish a monthly bookkeeping process.”
How it works
- Review of where the books currently stand
- Fixed-fee quote for the catch-up period
- All missing months reconciled and categorized
- Financial statements for the catch-up period
- Transition into a monthly bookkeeping package
Tax-ready handoff
Year-End CPA Package
Having worked in a CPA-firm environment, I know exactly what tax professionals need from a client's books — and what slows them down. The year-end package is built so your return can be prepared without a back-and-forth of questions.
Send the package straight to your tax preparer — fewer questions, faster filing, lower prep fees.
What your tax preparer receives
- Final trial balance
- Profit & Loss
- Balance Sheet
- General ledger
- Bank reconciliation reports
- Loan schedules
- Fixed-asset schedule
- Payroll reconciliation
- Owner distributions and contributions
- A/R and A/P reports
- Notes on unusual transactions
