Bookkeeping & Payroll

Clean, current books maintained by our team in QuickBooks Online — closed monthly, reconciled always, ready for decisions.

Most bookkeeping problems we inherit aren't math problems — they're lateness problems. Books that get touched once a quarter can't tell you anything useful. Our team closes your books every month: transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, and a plain-English summary of what changed and why it matters.

We work in QuickBooks Online and take over as much or as little as you want — from reviewing your bookkeeper's work quarterly to running the whole back office including payroll, sales tax filings, and 1099s. Month-end close lands by the 10th business day, every month, or we tell you why.

Because the same firm sees your books and prepares your taxes, nothing falls between the chairs. The December books already reflect the year-end planning moves; the tax return starts from numbers we trust.

Bookkeeping & Payroll FAQs

My books are a mess. How do cleanups work?

We scope a one-time cleanup project — usually 2–6 weeks depending on how far back the trouble goes — at a fixed price, then move you onto a monthly plan. About a third of our bookkeeping clients started exactly this way.

Do I have to use QuickBooks Online?

It's our standard platform and where our team is fastest. We can work with Xero for the right client, and we handle migration from desktop software, spreadsheets, or shoeboxes as part of cleanup.
