Monthly Bookkeeping: Transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, invoicing, payables, and clean monthly financial statements. Flat monthly pricing starting at $250 depending on account volume, so you always know exactly what it costs. Catch-Up and Clean-Up: Behind a few months or a few years? I review, fix, and reconcile your QBO file and deliver accountant-ready books with a written summary of what was wrong and how I fixed it. Tax Preparation: Federal and state returns for individuals and small businesses. Because I do both the books and the taxes, your return is built on numbers I already know are right. QBO Setup and Training: New business? I set up your chart of accounts correctly from day one and show you exactly what to do (and not do) in QuickBooks. Why clients stay with me: Most bookkeepers stop where taxes begin. Most tax preparers never touch your books. I do both, which means no handoffs, no surprises in April, and one person who actually knows your numbers. My specialty is service-based businesses, including healthcare practices, consultants, contractors, and agencies. Active PTIN, Bookkeeping Certificate, B.A. in Business Administration. Proficient in QuickBooks Online, Drake Tax, Lacerte, CCH, ProSeries, and Excel. Send me a message and I'll respond quickly. Let's get your books off your plate.
