For CPAs and tax preparers
Send us the messy books. We send back reconciled ones.
As a fellow CPA, I deliver books the way you'd want them. Clients you refer stay yours: I never offer tax services to them. You get organized, reconciled books in time for the return.

Questions people ask
Do you also do taxes?
Bookkeeping is my focus right now, and your books are built tax-ready for whoever prepares your return. If you need help with your taxes, ask on our call and we'll talk through options. If a CPA or tax preparer referred you to me, your tax work stays with them.
How much does it cost?
Monthly bookkeeping is a flat monthly price based on how many accounts and transactions you have. Catch-up work is quoted as a one-time project. You'll get a clear number after a free 15-minute call, before any work starts.
I'm months (or years) behind. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Catch-up and cleanup work is one of the main things I do. We start with the oldest gap, reconcile everything back to your statements, and get you current.
Do I need QuickBooks?
I work in QuickBooks Online. If you're not on it yet, I can help you get set up. If you're on something else, mention it on the call and we'll figure out the best path.
How does working together remotely work?
Everything happens online. You give me secure access to your bank feeds and QuickBooks, we talk by phone or video when needed, and you get your reports by email each month. No office visits or paper drop-offs.
How do we get started?
After a quick conversation about your business, you'll get a clear quote and a simple engagement letter. Once that's signed, you connect your bank feeds and QuickBooks securely and I take it from there.
