Monthly Bookkeeping

Books that are tax-ready on January 1st.

Monthly bookkeeping done by trained accountants in QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop. Your books stay closed, reconciled, and ready for tax season — no end-of-year cleanup scramble.

Overview

Bookkeeping that actually makes tax season easy.

Every April, businesses discover the same problem: their books aren't actually ready for tax prep. Transactions are miscategorized, bank reconciliations haven't been touched since August, and the P&L bears only a passing resemblance to reality. What should be a three-week tax return becomes a six-week ordeal because the CPA has to rebuild the books first.

The fix is boring but transformative: real monthly closes. Every month, by the 15th, we reconcile all bank and credit card accounts, categorize every transaction, review classifications with you if anything looks off, and close the books. When tax season arrives, your P&L and balance sheet are already accurate. Your CPA — us — just pulls the numbers and goes.

We work in QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop. We can take over a mess (we specialize in cleanup engagements) or build your books from scratch. We don't use offshore data-entry farms or AI-only categorization — every transaction is reviewed by a trained human accountant.

What's Included

What every bookkeeping engagement includes.

Flat monthly price. No transaction counts, no surcharges for extra accounts, no hidden fees.

Bank & credit card reconciliation

Every account reconciled monthly against statements. Discrepancies investigated and resolved, not hidden in suspense accounts.

Transaction categorization

Every transaction properly categorized according to your chart of accounts. Revenue, COGS, operating expenses, owner distributions — all correctly classified for tax purposes.

Monthly P&L and balance sheet

Delivered by the 20th of the following month, with a short commentary on revenue trends, expense changes, and anything unusual.

Cash flow statement

Operating, investing, and financing activities broken out clearly. Critical for businesses that track cash separately from accrual profit.

Accounts receivable tracking

Aging reports, customer-level balances, and follow-up reminders for outstanding invoices. You see exactly who owes what.

Accounts payable tracking

Bill entry, due-date tracking, and weekly AP reports so nothing goes to late-payment penalties.

Year-end closing package

Complete year-end trial balance, reconciled balance sheet, and tax-ready P&L — delivered directly to your tax preparer (us or anyone else).

Dedicated bookkeeper

Same person every month. They learn your business, your vendors, and your quirks. No ticketing-system roulette.

FAQ

Common questions about bookkeeping.

My books are a mess right now — can you fix them?
Yes. Cleanup engagements are a specialty. We'll do a diagnostic call first (free) to scope out what's needed, then quote a one-time cleanup fee based on how far back the work goes and how messy things are. Once cleanup is done, you roll into monthly bookkeeping at the regular rate.
Do I need QuickBooks, or can you work with something else?
QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop are our primary platforms. We also support Xero for clients who prefer it. We don't work with spreadsheet-only bookkeeping — it doesn't scale, and the error rate is too high for tax-ready work.
Will you handle my bill pay too?
Accounts payable entry and tracking are included. If you want us to actually pay bills on your behalf (signing checks, approving ACH), that's available as an add-on. Most clients prefer to keep payment authority in-house.
What happens if I want to leave?
Your books are yours. We hand over the QuickBooks file, all reconciliations, all supporting documents, and a clean trial balance. No hostage-taking, no exit fees. We'd rather have you leave happy than stay frustrated.
Do you file sales tax and payroll too?
Those are separate services — see our Payroll & Sales Tax page. Many bookkeeping clients bundle them because the data flow is tight, but you don't have to.
