Messy books, months behind, or inherited a QBO file that’s never been properly set up? That’s exactly what I fix. I’m a Chartered Accountant (CPA equivalent) with 6.5+ years of experience — including time at PwC and 4+ years working exclusively with US small businesses and CPA firms. My books don’t just look clean. They’re audit-ready, tax-ready, and built to hold up under review. What I handle for clients: — Monthly QBO bookkeeping & categorization — Bank, credit card & PayPal reconciliations — Cleanup & catch-up projects (no matter how far behind) — P&L, Balance Sheet & Cash Flow reporting — AR/AP tracking & general ledger review — 1099 preparation support What makes the difference working with me: Books are updated on a consistent schedule — no last-minute panic before tax season. Everything is documented, categorized to tax standards, and ready for your CPA to review without back-and-forth. I manage my own timelines. You won’t need to follow up. I work best with US small business owners who want reliable numbers without micromanaging their bookkeeper — and CPA firms that need dependable offshore support under minimal supervision. If your books need a reset or you’re looking for someone who’ll keep them clean going forward — message me with a brief description of your situation and I’ll tell you exactly how I can help.
