Frequently Asked Questions

How is your bookkeeping pricing structured? +

We price by transaction volume, which means you pay for the work that is actually being done, not a flat fee built around someone else's average. After a brief discovery call, we will quote you exactly.

What if my books are months or years behind? +

That is a cleanup engagement. We rebuild your books from your bank and credit card statements, get you to a clean current state, then transition you to monthly maintenance. Cleanups are quoted separately based on scope. The longer you wait, the more it costs, so the answer is usually 'start now.'

Do I need a CPA and a bookkeeper? +

Yes. A CPA prepares your taxes and provides strategic tax advice. A bookkeeper maintains the financial records the CPA uses to do that work. Asking your CPA to also do your bookkeeping is like asking your surgeon to also be your nurse: possible, but expensive and inefficient.

What accounting software do you use? +

QuickBooks Online, exclusively. It is the only platform that gives you, us, and your CPA real-time access to the same financial data. If you are currently on a different platform, we will handle the migration as part of onboarding.

How long does onboarding take? +

Most clients are fully onboarded within 14 days of signing. That includes connecting bank feeds, setting up your chart of accounts, coordinating with your CPA, and reviewing your historical data so we know what we are inheriting.

What does the 90-day money-back guarantee cover? +

If you are not satisfied with our work in your first 90 days, for any reason, we refund every dollar you have paid us. No paperwork, no negotiation. We can carry that guarantee because we do not lose clients in the first 90 days.

Do you work with my existing CPA? +

Always. We coordinate with your CPA from day one of onboarding so your records are structured the way they want to see them. If you do not have a CPA, we can recommend ones we work with regularly.
