Bookkeeping Services for Small Businesses

Bookkeeping is only useful if it is current, accurate, and finished on a schedule you can rely on. That is the whole product: your books closed by a fixed date every month, reconciled to the penny, with reports that tell you whether last month actually made money. Everything runs on QuickBooks Online, at certification level, for a flat monthly fee agreed in writing before we start.

Who this is for

Owner-operated service businesses that have outgrown DIY bookkeeping: real payroll, real transaction volume, and decisions that deserve better numbers. Our deepest workflows are built for the trades and field services, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pest control, and landscaping, along with the transportation and service businesses around them.

What's included every month

  • Weekly transaction categorization from live bank and card feeds, so nothing piles up
  • Full monthly reconciliation of every account: bank, credit cards, loans, lines of credit, and merchant processors
  • A fixed monthly close date, in writing, so you always know when your numbers are ready
  • Profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash summary delivered monthly, with job, class, or location detail where your business needs it
  • Accounts receivable and payable visibility: who owes you, what's due, what's aging
  • Ongoing email support within your service plan, and a standing monthly review call if you want one

What's not included (so nobody is surprised)

Monthly bookkeeping does not include cleanup of prior periods (a separate fixed-fee project), tax return preparation (a separate engagement for our bookkeeping clients), CFO-level forecasting, or invoice-by-invoice collections. Each of those has its own service, clearly scoped in the engagement letter. Cleanup & Catch-Up Bookkeeping Services Business Tax Preparation Services

Bookkeeping that understands your industry

A service business needs more than categorized expenses. Contractors need job costing that shows margin per job. Route businesses need revenue per route and crew. Cleaning companies need labor percentage per site. We set up your chart of accounts and reports around how your industry actually operates, and we reconcile your field software (ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber and similar) with QuickBooks monthly so both systems tell one story.

Questions, answered

Common questions

Do I have to switch software?

We work in QuickBooks Online. If you are on Desktop, spreadsheets, or another system, migration is part of onboarding. You own your QuickBooks file and your data, always; if we ever part ways, everything is yours and it is clean. QuickBooks Online Services

What do you need from me each month?

Answers to the occasional "what was this charge?" and approval of anything unusual. The process is built so you spend under 30 minutes a month on your books. That is the point.

My books are behind. Can we still start?

Yes. Behind is the most common starting point; we begin with a fixed-fee catch-up project, then roll into monthly service. Cleanup & Catch-Up Bookkeeping Services
