Bookkeeping firm
Books cleaned up, caught up and reconciled.
Monthly from $550/month · cleanup $1,800–$6,000 · see published pricing
Some books are wrong, some are months behind, some just won't match the bank. We repair the ledger from your source documents, build the missing months, tie each account to its statement, then keep the close running inside your own QuickBooks file.
Reviewed before delivery means a documented check runs before anything reaches you: every bank and card account tied to its statement, open items listed in writing. How the review works.
Fixed fees, agreed in writing. Your CPA prepares the returns; we make sure the books behind them hold up.
Quick answer
Start with the problem, not the service name: if the books are wrong, you need a cleanup; if months were never entered, catch-up; if one account won't match its statement, reconciliation; if the books are already in order, a monthly close. The free books review tells you which applies before any fee is set.

Which of these describes your books today?
Each situation has its own fix and its own order of work. Pick the closest; the free review confirms it.
The numbers exist, but nobody trusts them.
Miscoded history, balance-sheet lines nobody can explain, statements that contradict each other. The ledger gets rebuilt from its starting balances.
Bookkeeping cleanup BehindWhole months were never entered.
The missing periods are built from bank, card and payroll records, starting with whichever deadline is closest.
Catch-up bookkeeping Won't tieOne account refuses to match its statement.
The difference is traced to the specific entries causing it, and each one is fixed where it started.
Account reconciliation File troubleQuickBooks itself is the problem.
Payments stuck in Undeposited Funds, bank rules posting to the wrong place, a Desktop file failing its own integrity check.
QuickBooks cleanup CPA waitingYour CPA needs books they can file from.
Year-end, a loan or a notice has put a date on it. The periods your CPA needs come first, and the returns stay with them.
Books not ready for a CPA Changing providersYour current bookkeeper isn't working out.
We review the file, agree balances at the handover month and run the next close, so the calendar keeps moving.
Switching bookkeepersServices
Bookkeeping, QuickBooks and accounting, held to one review standard.
For churches, nonprofits and small businesses whose books have more moving parts than a spreadsheet can hold.
Bookkeeping
Repair books that went wrong, fill months that were skipped, and keep every account tied out once they're right.
QuickBooks
Work inside QuickBooks Online and Desktop files, from setup to repair. We're bookkeepers using the software, not Intuit's support desk.
Accounting
The operating layer above the books: financial statements, payroll records and a close you can make decisions from. Books-side work, not CPA work.
Advisory builds on all three once the books are clean: cash flow, forecasts and the numbers behind the next decision. See advisory and forecasting →
Standards
Four commitments you can check in the work itself.
Software can import and sort transactions. Whether the result is right takes someone checking it against the statements.
A documented review
Every engagement is reviewed before delivery. What the review checks is set out on how we work.
Proven against statements
Balances are agreed to bank, card and lender statements, not accepted because a feed looks plausible.
Controlled access
Multi-factor authentication on each login we hold for your books, least-privilege permissions and no shared credentials.
A fee agreed first
One figure for an agreed scope before work starts. If the scope changes, the fee is re-agreed in writing first.

How it starts
From first conversation to a running close, in four steps.
A short call
You describe what's going on, and we say plainly whether we're the right fit. The call takes about half an hour, with no pressure.
A look at the file
We examine your QuickBooks file and statements, then set out in writing what's sound, what isn't and what fixing it involves.
A written scope
One fixed figure for the agreed work, monthly, one-time or both, with the inclusions listed line by line.
The work begins
One-time projects run to a sign-off checklist. Monthly work repeats the same close each period, with a quarterly check-in and year-end coordination with your CPA.

Industries
Books set up for how each kind of business earns and spends.
Churches & nonprofits
Fund-aware bookkeeping for mission-driven organizations.
Churches, ministries and small nonprofits need more than categorized spending. Restricted and designated gifts are tracked apart from general funds, giving records have to agree with deposits, and the board needs reports it can follow without an accountant in the room.
Form 990 preparation stays with your CPA. We deliver the books and fund reports it's built from.
Nonprofit & church bookkeepingRemote service
Remote by design, for businesses across the US.
The work happens remotely in your own QuickBooks file, Online or Desktop, with documents exchanged securely, so your location doesn't change the service.

Once the books are right
What changes for you.
- Last month's result arrives early in this month, not at year-end.
- Your CPA's questions can be answered from the record.
- Lenders and boards receive statements that tie out.
- Every material change comes with a written explanation.
- The fee was settled before the work began.
Fit
When another provider will serve you better.
- The lowest possible monthly price matters more than a reviewed close.
- You need tax returns, audits or other CPA-licensed work rather than bookkeeping.
- You'd prefer automated categorization with nobody checking it.
- You want year-end data entry only, not a monthly routine.
- You need Intuit's technical support for a software fault.
If that's you, we'll say so on the first call and suggest where to look instead.
