Helping You Thrive, One Plan at a Time.
Opening January 2027. The practice is in its setup phase — we are finishing our practice closes and building an interest list. No client intake yet; if you'd like a spot held, get on the list.

Monthly bookkeeping tiers

One flat monthly price, matched to how much actually moves through your business. Every tier includes the full core service: categorization, reconciliation of every account, a checklist month-end close, monthly financial statements (Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows), a plain-language summary, and email answers within one business day.

Essential

$300 /month

Up to 100 transactions a month · 1–2 bank or credit card accounts

  • All core monthly services
  • Books closed by the 15th of the following month
  • A good fit for solo operators and very small businesses with straightforward books

Full

$600 /month

Up to 500 transactions a month · up to 6 accounts · multiple sales channels

  • Everything in Growth
  • Accrual adjustments and class/location tracking maintained
  • Priority turnaround — books closed by the 10th of the following month

Volume is measured, not argued. If your business runs over its tier's volume two months in a row, the engagement letter allows a tier move with 30 days' notice — you'll always hear it from us first, never discover it on an invoice. Your QuickBooks Online subscription stays in your name and is billed to you directly by Intuit, so you own your file outright; our fee is separate.

Catch-up & clean-up

Most businesses that come to us are behind. That's normal, and it's the work we trained on first — our own practice closes were reconstructions of finished months, rebuilt from raw statements and payout reports.

How it's priced

  • Per month of backlog, at your monthly tier rate. Example: four months behind on the Essential tier is 4 × $300 = $1,200
  • 50% due before work starts; the balance when the catch-up is delivered
  • Before any quote, we take a read-only diagnostic look at your file to confirm the tier and count the backlog
  • The quote goes in writing, in an addendum to your engagement letter, before work begins

What it includes

  • All accounts brought current and reconciled to the last clean point
  • Miscategorized transactions found and fixed
  • A written list of anything that could not be resolved — missing statements, unexplained transactions — flagged for you, never guessed at or buried
  • A clean starting point your CPA can work from at tax time

The boundaries, in plain language

These aren't fine print. They're the lines that make the service safe to buy, and they're written into every engagement letter.

Included — bookkeeping

  • Recording, categorizing, and reconciling transactions
  • Recording bills and invoices you provide
  • Monthly financial statements and summaries
  • Recording the sales tax your system collected, so the numbers are tracked
  • Explaining what your reports show, and flagging anything that looks unusual

Not included — ever, at these prices

  • Tax preparation and tax advice — no returns filed, no tax positions advised. Keep your own CPA; we hand them clean books
  • Payroll tax — no calculating, depositing, or filing payroll taxes
  • Paying your bills or moving your money — we never sign on your accounts or hold your funds
  • Audits, reviews, or assurance work — that's licensed CPA territory, and we don't imply otherwise
  • Sales tax filing — we track what was collected; filing is your tax professional's job

Access rule, repeated because it matters: you invite us into your QuickBooks Online as an accountant user. We never receive, ask for, or store your password, bank login, or verification codes — and you can revoke our access in one click, any time. Every entry we make is logged under our own name in QuickBooks' audit trail.
