The Challenge

Books three months behind, or books done right, every month.

For most small business owners, bookkeeping is the thing that falls off the list first. By the time you look up, tax season is here and the numbers don't add up.

Without clean books
  • Receipts in a shoebox, bank statements unopened, nothing reconciled since last spring
  • No idea if you're actually profitable - or which clients, products, or locations are dragging you down
  • Scrambling every January to catch up before the tax deadline, paying extra for rush work
  • Can't get a business loan because your financials are a mess - or don't exist
  • Mixing personal and business expenses, making every tax year a guessing game
With monthly bookkeeping
  • Reconciled accounts and clean financials delivered every single month - no exceptions
  • P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement you can actually read and act on
  • Tax season is just another month - books are already done, no scrambling required
  • CPA-reviewed books lenders and investors can trust for loan and funding applications
  • Issues flagged proactively - before they become expensive problems at year-end

What's Included

Everything your books need, done monthly, done right.

We don't hand off a spreadsheet and disappear. Every month you get fully reconciled books, financial statements, and a CPA who can actually explain what the numbers mean.

Monthly bank & credit card reconciliations Every account reconciled every month - bank, credit cards, PayPal, Stripe, whatever you run on.
Financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) The three reports that tell you exactly how your business is performing - delivered in plain language, not CPA jargon.
Cloud accounting setup (Xero / QBO) If you're not already on a cloud platform, we set you up on Xero or QuickBooks Online so your books are always accessible.
Catch-up & clean-up Months or years behind? We'll bring your books current before starting the regular monthly cycle - no judgment.
AP/AR tracking Know who owes you and what you owe - outstanding invoices and upcoming bills tracked and reported monthly.
Monthly reporting you can understand A brief monthly summary of what changed, what to watch, and what to ask your CPA - not a data dump.

How We Keep Your Books Clean.

1

Assess

We review your existing books, accounts, and software to understand where you are and what needs to be fixed before we take over.

2

Clean Up

We catch up any backlog, fix miscategorized transactions, reconcile outstanding accounts, and get your books to a clean starting point.

3

Maintain

Every month, we categorize transactions, reconcile all accounts, close the books, and deliver your financial statements on schedule.

4

Advise

We flag anything unusual, answer your questions, and keep your tax preparer in the loop - so year-end is never a surprise.

Bookkeeping with CPA-level oversight, not just data entry.

Any software can categorize transactions. We bring professional judgment to every month-close, so your books are actually right - not just technically entered.

Local & Licensed

Your books are reviewed by a Texas-licensed CPA - not a bookkeeping app, not an overseas contractor. You're getting professional accountability with every monthly close, and someone who knows Texas tax rules and local business norms.

Cloud-First

We work in Xero and QuickBooks Online so you always have real-time access to your own books - no desktop files, no waiting for a report to be emailed. Your numbers are live, and your CPA can see the same screen you're looking at.

Proactive

We don't just close the books and send a file. If something looks off - a vendor that's charging more than usual, a receivable that's aging, a category that's running over budget - we flag it before it becomes a problem.

FAQ

Questions about bookkeeping services?

The questions we get most often - answered honestly.

There's no limit. We've caught up books that were two, three, even five years behind. We start with a catch-up engagement to bring everything current, then transition into the regular monthly cycle. The catch-up is typically quoted separately based on volume and complexity, but we won't turn you away for being behind. That's exactly when you need a bookkeeper most. Our FAQ on getting started covers what the first few weeks look like.
Both. We're certified Xero advisors and experienced QuickBooks Online users. If you're already on one platform, we'll work in it. If you're starting fresh or considering a switch, we'll help you choose the right one for your business - and handle the migration if needed. We do not work in QuickBooks Desktop or other desktop accounting software.
Bookkeeping is the ongoing process of recording and categorizing financial transactions - the day-to-day work that keeps your books current. Accounting involves interpreting those numbers: preparing tax returns, building financial forecasts, advising on business structure, and strategic financial planning. We do both. Our bookkeeping service keeps your records clean, and our CPA team is available for the higher-level advisory work when you need it.
It depends on your transaction volume, number of accounts, and complexity. We provide a flat monthly rate after a discovery call and detailed review of your existing setup - no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
Not if you work with us. We're a full-service CPA practice - we handle bookkeeping and tax preparation under one roof. That means your tax preparer already has your books, there's no data handoff, no duplicate onboarding, and no "your bookkeeper said X but your CPA said Y" confusion. Most clients find it's actually cheaper to bundle both with us than to manage two separate firms. It matters most in the two industries we have gone deepest in: professional services, where the business and personal return are one set of numbers, and restaurants, where tips and labor tie the books, payroll and return together.
