Your books haven't been touched in months, tax season is approaching, and you honestly can't tell if your business made money last quarter or just stayed busy. That's where I come in. I help U.S. small business owners catch up, clean up, and maintain accurate books using GAAP-based best practices so you always know where your business stands. Here's how I can help: ✅ QuickBooks Online Bookkeeping & Setup ✅ Catch-Up & Cleanup Bookkeeping ✅ Bank & Credit Card Reconciliation ✅ Transaction Categorization ✅ Accounts Payable & Accounts Receivable ✅ Monthly Financial Reporting (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) ✅ Ongoing Monthly Bookkeeping Support How it works: You send me your bank statements, credit card records, and receipts. I categorize every transaction, reconcile your accounts, flag discrepancies, and communicate with you before making assumptions never guessing on your numbers. While supporting an accounts team, I identified and recovered over 40 unrecorded expense receipts that had been missing from the books for months once captured, the financial reports finally reflected reality. That level of attention to detail is my standard, not an extra. At month-end, you'll get clear financial reports P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow explained in plain English, not jargon. Whether you're behind by three months or ten, I'll get your books back on track and ready for your tax professional. I hold a B.Sc. in Accounting, and I'm an Intuit Certified Bookkeeper and QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor, with a 100% Job Success Score on Upwork.
