BOOKKEEPING THAT IS BUILT FOR TAX TIME Most bookkeepers focus on recording what already happened. I look at the bigger picture. As a Tax Professional and QuickBooks Online Specialist, I manage your books with the tax return in mind from day one. That means cleaner financials, fewer surprises at tax time, better visibility into your business, and books that are actually ready when it is time to file. ────────────── QUICKBOOKS CLEANUP & CATCH UP Behind on your books? I specialize in untangling messy QuickBooks files, reconciling old accounts, correcting miscategorized transactions, fixing unapplied payments, and cleaning up balances that simply do not make sense. ────────────── MONTHLY BOOKKEEPING I can manage your day to day and monthly bookkeeping, including: • Bank and credit card reconciliations • Transaction categorization and review • Accounts payable and accounts receivable • Invoicing and bill management • Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet reporting • Month end review and cleanup The goal is simple: accurate books that stay accurate. ────────────── PAYROLL & 1099s From payroll setup to year end reporting, I can help keep your payroll and contractor records organized and compliant. • Payroll setup and processing • Payroll reconciliations • Contractor tracking • 1099 preparation and filing • Federal and state payroll support ────────────── TAX PREPARATION This is where my approach to bookkeeping is different. Because I also prepare business and individual tax returns, I understand how the activity inside QuickBooks ultimately flows into the tax return. I work with: • Individual tax returns • Sole proprietors and Schedule C businesses • Partnerships • S Corporations • LLCs I understand the connection between your books, payroll, owner distributions, K 1 reporting, basis, and year end tax preparation. ────────────── TAX READY FINANCIALS Your books should not need to be rebuilt every March. I review your Chart of Accounts, transaction classifications, reconciliations, and financial statements throughout the year with tax preparation in mind. This helps catch problems earlier and creates a much smoother transition from bookkeeping to tax filing. ────────────── WHY WORK WITH ME? I am not here just to categorize transactions and send you a P&L. I want you to understand where your business stands, know that your numbers are reliable, and have someone who can identify problems before they turn into expensive cleanup projects. Whether you need years of books cleaned up, reliable monthly bookkeeping, payroll support, tax preparation, or someone who can handle the process from QuickBooks through the tax return, I can help. Message me or book a consultation and tell me what is going on with your books. I am happy to start by reviewing your QuickBooks file and identifying exactly what needs attention.

When your books are behind, miscategorized, or just never set up right, the downstream damage shows up everywhere — in your P&Ls, your tax prep, and your ability to make confident business decisions. I specialize in QBO cleanup, catch-up, and full-cycle bookkeeping for small businesses across real estate, construction, e-commerce, retail, food service, and nonprofits. That means messy books get untangled, historical records get corrected, and ongoing bookkeeping runs accurately without you having to chase anything down. With 10+ years of full-cycle experience, a QBO ProAdvisor certification, and an MBA in Business Finance, I deliver audit-ready financials — whether your CPA needs clean year-end reports or you need job costing that actually reflects your project margins.
