Bookkeeping questions, answered

I'm a year (or more) behind on my books. Is it too late?

No. Cleanup and catch-up is a big part of what we do. We get your books current and accurate, then keep them that way.

Can't my accountant just sort it out at tax time?

They can try, but by then nobody remembers what a charge from last March was for. Things get put in the wrong place, deductions get missed, and you end up with a surprise tax bill plus a cleanup fee.

Why do my books need to be current if I only file taxes once a year?

Because taxes aren't the only time someone asks for your numbers. A bank wants clean financials before it will loan you money for a truck or equipment. An audit or an insurance renewal can mean handing over years of records. And you need current numbers to know whether you can afford that next hire. Books kept current every month mean you're ready whenever someone asks.

How do I know if my business is actually making money?

Busy and profitable aren't the same thing. When every cent coming in and going out is tracked and organized each month, you get quick-glance numbers that tell you. That's what we give you.

What do you need from me?

Almost nothing. Give us access to your QuickBooks and the accounts your business money runs through one time, and we take it from there. We only reach out if a transaction needs a quick answer.

How do I see my numbers?

Every month we put your prior month's profit and loss and balance sheet in your client portal, so you can see what came in, what went out and what you can afford next. Questions about your numbers? We're a call or message away.

How much does a bookkeeper cost?

Plans start at $250 a month. Your rate is set based on your revenue and how much activity runs through your accounts, and you pay the same amount every month, so there are no surprise bills. The free books check-up gets you a real number.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. You pay at the start of each month for that month's bookkeeping. Cancel anytime before your next month starts, and you won't be billed for it.

Do I have to sign up for monthly bookkeeping to get the QuickBooks discount?

No. The discount comes with no strings attached. Anyone can save up to 50% on QuickBooks for 12 months through our partner link, keep their own books and never hire us. If you'd ever like help getting caught up or staying current, we're here, but it's never required.

Do I have to meet with you in person?

No. We're fully remote, so you never have to stop a job to meet with us. We're based in Montgomery County, Texas.

Do you handle receipts or pay my bills?

No. We do one job and do it right: tracking and organizing every cent in and out of your business, every month, so you know where you stand. Keeping your receipts and paying your bills stays with you.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Trade and service businesses: septic, plumbing, landscaping, HVAC, electrical, concrete, trucking, home care and assisted living providers and more. If you and your crew work hard with your hands, we speak your language.
