What We Offer

We help you stay organized throughout the year, from organizing your digital tax documents to keeping your income and expenses properly categorized, so your W-2 or Schedule C return is filed accurately and on time.

We turn scattered transactions into a clear monthly narrative you can actually understand. Each report highlights what happened, why it matters, and how your business is performing, so you can make confident decisions.

We work as part of your team, staying close to your operations and offering proactive bookkeeping support and insights, so you’re never left navigating financial questions alone.

Monthly Bookkeeping in 4 Steps

Four simple steps. Your books reconciled, reviewed, and delivered within the first 7–10 days each month.

STEP 1

Upload & Go


At the start of each month, upload your bank and credit card statements, sales reports, payroll summaries, invoices, and receipts. Once submitted, our bookkeeping team takes care of the rest with accuracy and attention to detail.

What you upload:

  • Bank and credit card statements
  • Sales reports (Stripe, Square, Shopify, etc.)
  • Payroll summaries (if applicable)
  • Invoices and receipts

STEP 2

Review & Confirm


As soon as your files arrive, we review them carefully. If anything’s missing, you’ll receive a quick checklist to stay on track. When everything’s in place, you’ll get an “All Set” update so you always know where your books stand.


STEP 3

Reconcile & Verify


Our team classifies every transaction, reconciles all accounts to their statements, and ensures your records are accurate and complete. You’ll always know exactly where your money went and what’s outstanding, with clean, verified data each month.


STEP 4

Deliver Clear Reports


We close your books and deliver a clear summary of your business performance. You’ll receive easy-to-read reports that show profits, expenses, and key trends, giving you financial clarity to make confident decisions.
