Accurate Monthly Books, Clear Reports & Confident Decisions

Clean QuickBooks, timely reconciliations, sales tax filing, and simple monthly reports—built for owner-led and family-owned businesses.

What’s Included in Monthly Bookkeeping

Bank & credit card reconciliations

We connect bank feeds, apply rules, and reconcile statements so your balances tie out every month.

Accurate categorization

A clean chart of accounts matched to your business model—so P&L and Balance Sheet stay lender- and tax-ready.

Monthly financial package

P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash summary—plus plain-English notes on trends, variances, and action items.

Sales tax support

We align channels/POS to your books and file on your required cadence (monthly, quarterly, or annual).

Light AP/AR (as needed)

Bill processing, vendor setup, and past-due follow-up routines that help cash move faster.

Quarterly check-ins

Short reviews to confirm goals, pricing, margins, and seasonality—so you always know the next move.

New to QuickBooks? We can set up or clean up your file first, then transition you to a smooth monthly cadence.

Add-Ons & Upgrades

Class/location tracking

Segment performance by store, truck, or department to spot margin gaps and pricing opportunities.

Inventory & COGS alignment

Recipe/menu costing (for food), SKU mapping (for eCommerce), and monthly COGS checks to protect margins.

Payroll coordination

Setup, mapping, and journal entries with Gusto/ADP/QBO Payroll so labor costs report cleanly.

1099 preparation

Vendor W-9 collection, review of eligible payments, and on-time e-file to avoid penalties.

Dashboards

Owner-friendly KPI views (COGS%, labor%, average ticket, cash runway) using Looker Studio or Sheets.

Fractional CFO (Lite)

Monthly CFO memo, pricing & scenario planning, and quarterly strategy reviews for growth stages.

QuickBooks Cleanup & Catch-Up

Behind on books? We fix that first—then keep you current.

  • Custom chart of accounts, bank feed connections, and rules
  • Historical catch-up and reconciliations (typically up to 12 months)
  • Sales tax true-ups and prior-period adjustments (as needed)
  • Hand-off SOP so weekly/monthly routines stay consistent

Our Process

  1. Discovery (15 min): Goals, systems, volume, and deadlines.
  2. Onboarding: Secure checklist, access, and a short kickoff call.
  3. Monthly close: Categorize, reconcile, review, and sales tax file (if applicable).
  4. Reporting: Monthly financials with concise notes and a checklist of next actions.
  5. Quarterly review: Pricing/margins, cash planning, and priorities for the next quarter.

Prefer project-based help? Start with cleanup or cash-flow modeling, then switch to monthly bookkeeping.
