Accounting & Bookkeeping

Books you can trust, explained in words you understand.

Full cycle accounting for business owners and the self-employed who are tired of guessing. We keep your records current, your ledgers reconciled, and we make sure you know what the numbers mean.

Who this is for

  • Business owners whose books are behind, or whose only system is a shoebox of receipts.
  • Self-employed professionals who want clean records without doing it all themselves at midnight.
  • New businesses that want to start organized instead of untangling later.
  • Established businesses changing bookkeepers and wanting a careful handover.

The problems it addresses

  • Unclear cash flow. Money arrives and leaves without a clear picture of either.
  • Missed payments, late invoices, and fees that were entirely avoidable.
  • Reconciliation gaps: the books say one thing, the bank says another.
  • Year-end panic, because nothing was ready until suddenly it was due.

Scope

What the engagement may include

Bookkeeping

Categorizing transactions and keeping your accounts current, month after month, so nothing piles up.

Accounts payable & receivable

Tracking invoices and bills so money coming in and going out is on schedule, not by memory.

Bank reconciliations

Matching your books to your statements, explaining differences, and leaving you with balances you can vouch for.

Payroll support

Organizing payroll records and coordinating with your payroll provider. Exact scope is confirmed together.

Budgeting

Building a realistic budget from your actual history. For the business, the household, or both.

1099 support

Organizing contractor information and preparing for 1099 season without the January scramble.

Account setup

A clean foundation: chart of accounts and record-keeping structure, set up properly from day one.

Financial statements & reporting

Readable statements. And a walk-through of what they mean for your next decision.

A note on scope: the list above describes what our work commonly covers. Your engagement’s exact deliverables are confirmed with you before we begin. No assumptions, no surprises.

What to prepare

Bring whatever you have. Organizing it is our job. Most first conversations go better with:

  • Recent bank and credit card statements.
  • Any prior bookkeeping, payroll, or tax records.
  • A short list of the software and systems you already use.
  • Your questions. The things you most want to understand.

Please never send tax documents, Social Security numbers, or account numbers through this website. Once we’re working together, sensitive information moves through secure channels.
