Hey, I'm Andrew. I help freelancers, creatives, and small business owners get clean financial statements they can rely on. That means fixing QuickBooks, cleaning up past activity, and preparing books for tax filing, lenders, or CPAs. I've worked in business management for entertainment clients and high earners, so I handle everything from messy spreadsheets to multi-entity setups. If you're behind, confused, or tired of stressing every quarter, I can help. What I do: QuickBooks cleanup and setup 1099, Schedule C, and S Corp tax prep Tax projections and estimated payment planning Amended returns, even the scary ones LLC vs. S Corp breakdowns and setup Clear communication, fast turnaround, no judgment If you want to get organized and feel less anxious about money, let's connect.
