Monthly Bookkeeping

Monthly bookkeeping is the foundation of clean, reliable financials. Instead of letting transactions pile up and become overwhelming, we keep your books current every month—so your numbers are always ready when you need them.

This means:

1. Your accounts are updated consistently
2. Errors are caught early, not months later
3. You always know where your business stands
4. Tax season becomes routine instead of stressful

You’re never “behind.” Your books stay usable all year long.

Bank + Credit Card Reconciliations

Reconciliation is where accuracy happens. We match every transaction in QuickBooks to your actual bank and credit card statements.

Each month we:

1. Compare every account to its statement
2. Confirm balances are exact
3. Identify missing, duplicate, or misposted transactions
4. Resolve discrepancies

This ensures:

1. Your cash balance reflects reality
2. No income is missed
3. No expense is double-counted
4. Reports are built on verified data

Without reconciliations, bookkeeping is guesswork. With them, your numbers are trustworthy.

Categorization + Rules

We organize every transaction so your reports make sense.

That includes:

1. Placing income and expenses into the correct accounts
2. Separating business activity from personal spending
3. Setting up smart rules to automate recurring items
4. Ensuring consistency month to month

The result:

1. Clean, meaningful categories
2. Faster processing over time
3. Reports that clearly show where money goes
4. No more “Uncategorized Expense” clutter

Your books start working for you instead of against you.

Monthly Close + Financial Statements (P&L, Balance Sheet)

At the end of each month, we “close” your books—meaning everything is finalized, reviewed, and accurate.

You receive:

1. A Profit & Loss statement showing income, expenses, and profit
2. A Balance Sheet showing cash, assets, liabilities, and equity
3. Numbers you can actually rely on

This gives you:

1. A clear picture of performance
2. Insight into trends
3. Early warning if something is off
4. Confidence to make decisions

Your reports stop being confusing spreadsheets and become tools you can use to run your business.

New Company Setup

A proper setup is the difference between helpful reports and endless confusion.

We handle:

1. Chart of Accounts built for your type of business
2. Opening balances and structure
3. Owner pay setup (draws, salary, reimbursements)
4. Basic workflows for income and expenses

This prevents:

1. Dozens of unnecessary or misused accounts
2. Transactions piling into “Uncategorized”
3. Reports that don’t reflect reality
4. Costly cleanup later

You start with a clean foundation—so everything that follows is easier.

Payroll / Contractor Workflows Guidance

Paying people is one of the most error-prone areas in bookkeeping.

We help you:

1. Decide how to pay owners correctly
2. Track contractors vs. employees properly
3. Understand what belongs in payroll vs. expenses
4. Build a clean system for reimbursements and draws

You’ll know:

1. Where each type of payment belongs
2. How it flows into your reports
3. What your tax preparer will expect
4. How to avoid misclassification and messy records

The result is clarity—and fewer compliance headaches.

Ongoing Q&A

You’re never left guessing.

As questions come up, you can ask:

1. “How should I record this?”
2. “Is this business or personal?”
3. “Why does this report look different this month?”
4. “Can I do this in QuickBooks?”

We provide:

1. Plain-English answers
2. Practical guidance
3. Real-world context for your business

So instead of second-guessing every click, you build confidence in how your books work.

QuickBooks becomes a tool you understand—not a black box you’re afraid to touch.
With the right setup and support, your system stays clean, useful, and under control.
