FAQ
Questions? I've got answers.
The things small business owners ask me most, answered plainly and honestly. Don't see yours? Reach out anytime, I'm always happy to talk it through.
How much do you charge?
Pricing is custom, based on your business, the services you need, and the scope of the work. Every business is a little different, so I put together a clear, personalized quote after we talk. No surprise fees, no one-size-fits-all packages.
What all do you handle for me?
Monthly bookkeeping, catch-up and clean-up work, QuickBooks setup and training, payroll, accounts payable and receivable, bank and credit card reconciliation, and financial reporting. Basically, the day-to-day financial work most business owners either do not enjoy or do not have time for, so you can focus on what you do best.
Can you clean up my books if they are behind or messed up?
Absolutely, and there is no judgment. Catch-up and clean-up work is one of my specialties. Whether you are a few months behind or your books are a tangled mess, I will get everything caught up, corrected, and reconciled so you have a clean, trustworthy starting point.
Do you do payroll?
Yes. I can handle your payroll so your team is paid accurately and on time and your payroll records stay clean.
Do you file taxes?
No, I do not prepare or file taxes, and I am not a CPA. What I do is keep your books clean, accurate, and reconciled all year so that when tax time comes, your CPA or tax preparer has exactly what they need. Well-kept books make tax season far less stressful (and often less expensive).
Does having QuickBooks mean my books are already correct?
Not automatically, and this is the biggest myth I run into. QuickBooks is a great tool, but transactions still have to be entered, categorized, and reconciled correctly. Without that, the numbers can look fine and still be wrong. That is exactly where I come in.
What are the most common bookkeeping mistakes you see?
Mixing personal and business expenses, not keeping receipts, not reconciling accounts, categorizing things incorrectly, waiting until tax time to worry about the books, and letting the books fall behind. All fixable, and all much easier to stay ahead of with a bookkeeper in your corner.
