Common questions answered

Everything most people want to know before booking a consultation. Don't see your question? Reach out directly.

What services do you offer? +

My focus is bookkeeping. This usually falls into two categories: monthly bookkeeping and clean-ups / catch-ups. Monthly bookkeeping is updating the books every month, while clean-ups / catch-ups are normally several months or more of work to be done to get books current again. I do not offer payroll services, sales tax payments, invoice management, bill pay, or admin work.

What about taxes? +

I do not help prepare or file taxes and I am not a certified tax preparer. I am more than happy to coordinate with your existing tax person and provide them all the necessary things for doing the taxes.

What's included in the free consultation? +

It's a simple conversation about you and your business. I'll want to know about the basics of the business and the current state of your books. I'll tell you about how I do bookkeeping and we will see if working together is a good fit. It's absolutely free.

What's after the free consultation? +

If we seem to be a good fit, I will take a look at your books and give you a quote by email. Then from there I will outline the necessary documents, fee payment, etc.

What are your prices? +

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $300/month, with the exact price based on transaction volume and complexity. Catch-ups / clean-ups are priced separately, based on each individual job. I do charge up-front and in full for all work.

What businesses do you work with? +

I usually focus on small, service-based businesses. Businesses like plumbers, landscapers, or consultants, but I am open to a wider range. I'm always happy to talk with business owners.

Does my business qualify for bookkeeping? +

More than likely - Yes. All businesses need to maintain accurate books in some form. Book a call and let's talk about it.

What software do you use? +

I exclusively use QuickBooks online. If you are not currently on QuickBooks online, I'm sure we can come up with a plan to make a smooth transition.

What if my books aren't up to date? +

No problem at all, we can fix that. Whether it's months or years behind, we can get you organized again and ready for more consistent bookkeeping.

Do you work with businesses outside Kingsburg? +

Yes - I proudly serve the greater central valley, not just Kingsburg. The business is fully remote, allowing me the flexibility to work with a wider range of locations. I have a home office and do not offer on-site services or regular in-person meetings.

How long is our contract for? +

I only use month-to-month contracts, no yearlong or multi-year contracts. I only request a 30-day notice for cancellation of services, that's it.

Do I get to work with you? +

Yes — you work directly with the person doing your books, not a rotating account team or ticket queue. Questions get answered by the person who actually did the work.

Are you certified? +

Yes. I am a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor - level 2. I am also a certified Intuit Trained Bookkeeper. The ProAdvisor certification requires yearly re-certification to stay current.
