Remote Bookkeeper | QBO Advanced Certified | FreshBooks Certified | Specializing in Cleanup, Catch Up & Monthly Maintenance I provide business owners with a clear view of their financial standing to facilitate confident business decisions. Has your bookkeeping been left untouched or unkempt for a substantial amount of time? How about even just a couple of months? Wouldn’t it be nice to open up QuickBooks and see an accurate Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet to hand off to your accountant? I’ve got your back. I’m here to take that dreaded work of bookkeeping off your hands and deliver you ready-to-hand off financial statements, making tax time a breeze. You love your business and I love showing you the progress and profitability of your business. What I can take off your plate: Bank transactions categorizing & matching Creating invoices, bills, maintaining Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable Reconciling Bank accounts, making the bank balance and QB balance reflect the same numbers with integrity and thorough accounting Catching and fixing discrepancies Reviewing P&L and Balance Sheet for inaccuracies, anomalies, or red flags Cleaning up Accounts Receivables that have been improperly matched I specialize in Monthly, Clean up, and Catch Up *Short testimonial* I've taken over the books for a client who was maintaining their own books for years. Upon stepping in, I caught a 20k invoice from the previous year that hadn't been paid. After notifying the business owners, they reached out to their customer and that $20k invoice was paid within weeks. Sometimes you don't realize the little things you may overlook when you're so busy. I come in and look at the details with a fine tooth comb! Ask me how I can get your books clean and keep them clean and ready for your CPA and/or taxes!
