Ongoing Bookkeeping
Monthly bookkeeping that keeps your records current and accurate. We handle transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, and financial statement preparation so you always know where you stand.
The Work
Bookkeeping is the process of recording and organizing every financial transaction in your business. Every sale, every expense, every transfer between accounts. It is detailed work that requires attention and consistency.
When it is done properly, you have accurate numbers whenever you need them. You know how much cash you have, what you are owed, and what you owe others. When it falls behind, you are guessing at all of those things.
Transaction Categorization
Transaction Categorization
Every transaction that hits your bank accounts and credit cards gets reviewed and categorized correctly. This ensures expenses land in the right accounts so your financial statements tell an accurate story about your business.
Bank Reconciliation
Bank Reconciliation
We match your books to your bank statements every month. This catches errors, identifies missing transactions, and confirms that what your accounting software shows matches reality. It is how you know your numbers are solid.
The Backlog
Bookkeeping does not wait. Every week you skip is a week that becomes harder to reconstruct later. Details fade. Receipts get lost. What should take an hour now takes three because you are trying to remember what that $847 charge was from four months ago.
The bigger problem is what happens because of the backlog. You cannot pull accurate financials for a loan application. You scramble at tax time. You make decisions about cash flow based on your checking account balance instead of actual profit margins.
Tax Season Scramble
Tax Season Scramble
When your books are months behind, tax preparation becomes an emergency. Your CPA gets incomplete records and asks questions you cannot answer. Deadlines approach while you are digging through bank statements instead of running your business.
Decisions Without Data
Decisions Without Data
You cannot improve what you cannot measure. Without current books, you do not know which services are profitable or which clients drain resources. You cannot tell if you can afford that new hire. You are making gut decisions when you should have numbers.
The Rhythm
Ongoing bookkeeping creates a predictable rhythm. Every month, your books are closed. Transactions are categorized. Accounts are reconciled. Financial statements are prepared. You start the new month knowing exactly where you stand.
This is not about checking boxes. It is about having reliable information when you need it. When a decision comes up, you look at real numbers instead of guessing. When your accountant needs something, the work is already done.
Monthly Close
Monthly Close
Each month gets closed by the 15th of the following month. You receive a profit and loss statement and balance sheet that show exactly what happened. No surprises at year end because you have been reviewing the numbers all along.
Ready for Anything
Ready for Anything
