FAQ

Common questions

Do you work with clients remotely?

Yes. Everything can be handled virtually, including meetings, document sharing, and access to your accounting software, so location isn't a barrier.

What accounting software do you use?

I work in QuickBooks Online and Xero, along with third-party apps like Ramp that connect to them. If you use something else, or nothing yet, let's talk. I can help you choose and set up the right tool.

How is pricing set?

I offer both hourly billing and flat monthly fees, depending on what fits your business best. After a free consultation and a look at your current books, I'll recommend the option that makes the most sense for the work involved, and you'll know how billing works before we begin.

Do you prepare taxes or perform audits?

My focus is bookkeeping. Tax preparation and tax planning are best handled by your CPA or tax professional, and audits, reviews, and other assurance work are performed by a CPA firm. I work alongside them, keeping your books clean and organized all year and providing the reports and records they need. If you don't have a tax professional yet, I can help with recommendations.

How far behind can my books be for a cleanup?

There's no limit. Whether it's a few months or several years, we'll scope it together and get you caught up step by step.

Ready for books you don't have to worry about?

Send me a quick email with a few details about your business and any questions you have. I'll reply to set up a free, no-pressure consultation.
