The Bookkeeping Process
“When you pay attention to detail, the big picture will take care of itself”
Daily Updates
It all begins with a transaction. You sold an item or bought a tool. You repaired a machine or leased a building. Properly coding and backing up EVERY transaction EVERY time… these are the tedious but crucial tasks. Your books are updated in hours or days - not weeks or months so you can check on your finances day or night. Finally, rest easy and focus on bigger things.
Month End Review
The end of the month is time to pay some taxes, call on late items and check our work. Here is where we make sure to catch any errors or missing items. Once everything is reconciled, we get the bird’s eye view on your finances. Every client receives reports and a personalized meeting and/or video to go over what’s past due, how you’re doing with your goals, and any points of concern going into the next month.
Year End Wrap Up
It’s time to celebrate your year’s accomplishments! Every transaction for the year has been documented and backed up and your tax season reports are ready. No more worrying about deadlines or audits. Your book are fresh for the new year. Enjoy the holidays as you ponder new goals for your business. The best part of investing in a professional bookkeeper is peace of mind and room to plan for the future!

Catchup / Cleanup
Just need to to get caught up on books that are months or years behind? Taxes coming up soon or need to apply for new funding? Even “up-to-date” books can use a cleanup if they leave you with too many questions:
I thought I was doing well. Where did the cash go? Am I going to run out of cash?
Which areas of my business performed the best? Should I expand this year or sit tight for now?
Who owes me money and what are my outstanding obligations?
How do I stack up to my competitors?
The answers often lie in all those “miscellaneous” items (or lazy buckets as I call them) creating less than useful metrics and even costing you more at tax time.
After the catchup/cleanup, you’ll have a new set of reports and new perspective on your business. You may choose to continue with monthly services to keep your books in top shape.
