Bookkeeping That Closes Every Month, Not Whenever We Get to It
Know what your business is really making before the bank balance tells you a different story. We close your books inside the QuickBooks Online you already use, categorize every dollar the way your business actually needs to see it, and hand you plain-English financials.
A licensed CPA will show you exactly where your books stand and what to fix first.
Sound familiar?
The pattern we see before a business calls us.
Profitable on paper, tight on cash
The numbers say one thing. The bank balance says another. Nobody saw it move because the books were two months behind while the gap grew.
You're floating the business on faith
Slow-paying clients, seasonal swings, or growth itself can squeeze cash while the only forecast you have is a feeling and a bank balance.
Your bank or investors want real financials
A loan, a line of credit, or a future buyer all expect real financial statements. Gut feel doesn't show up on a balance sheet.
What you get
Real numbers, every month, early enough to act on
Built straight from your QuickBooks Online and delivered on a fixed monthly cadence.
Monthly close, categorized right
Every transaction recorded, categorized, and reconciled, tracked the way your business actually needs to see profit, by job, by client, by location, whatever matters to you.
Construction example: a $30M sitework contractor booked $1.03M in January and lost $57,940 at gross profit. The monthly close caught it that month, not at tax time.
Cash you can see coming
A forward cash picture reconciled to your bank, not just the dates printed on invoices.
Construction example: one contractor had $440,975 in the bank on a Monday, on pace for -$340,218 by week 11, seven weeks of warning instead of a payroll-Friday surprise.
Plain-English variance report
Every swing in revenue, cost, and overhead explained account by account, ending in a numbered action list.
Construction example: when net income jumped 339%, we traced $140,000 to commission timing, not real profit, and caught a $60,515 payables buildup before it hit cash.
How it works
From behind and blind to closed and current
The same three steps, whether you're a month behind or three years behind.
A licensed CPA looks at where your books actually stand, gaps, miscodes, backlog, and tells you exactly what it takes to fix them. 30 minutes, no obligation.
What you get
Real numbers, every month, early enough to act on
Built straight from your QuickBooks Online and delivered on a fixed monthly cadence.

Yes. Catch-up and cleanup is a normal starting point, not an exception. You get a fixed scope and timeline before we start, not an open-ended hourly bill.
Yes, that's most of the value. Construction-specific WIP schedules are covered in more depth on our Construction page.
No. We work inside the QuickBooks Online file you already have, or help you migrate from Xero, Wave, or spreadsheets if you want to move.
It depends on transaction volume and how far behind the books are. You'll get a number on the free review, not a follow-up email a week later.

A thirteen-week cash forecast, budget versus actual, and margin analysis, updated monthly and reviewed with you in a working session. Clients use this in place of a full-time CFO, or alongside a controller they already employ.

We track cost at the job, project, or department level and run AP and AR day to day. Each month includes a review of where margin sits and which jobs or lines have moved. This is the layer between the bookkeeper and the CPA, and most firms do not staff it.
