What's included in your monthly bookkeeping packages?
Our packages typically include transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, monthly financial statements (Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet), and a monthly financial review summary. Higher tiers offer more features like custom dashboards, expense breakdowns, and strategic calls. See our Services Page for specific inclusions in each tier.

Do you file my taxes?
We provide you with accurate, tax-ready financial statements. We can also assist with sales tax calculation and filing (if applicable). We generally don't file income taxes directly, but we can collaborate seamlessly with your tax preparer to ensure a smooth process.

What if I'm behind on my bookkeeping?
We offer "catch-up" or "clean-up" services to get your books up-to-date. The cost depends on the complexity and the number of months/years needing attention. Contact us for a comprehensive file assessment.
