Common Questions

What is included in your bookkeeping services?

It includes bank and credit card reconciliations, transaction categorization, loan and debt tracking, CPA-reviewed financials, fixed asset and depreciation tracking, payroll and 1099 tracking, QuickBooks Online support, monthly tax visibility, and outstanding tax liabilities after quarterly payments are made. Your books are also maintained in coordination with tax planning and tax preparation efforts.

How much do your bookkeeping services cost?

We share pricing during the discovery call. Our pricing is based on the level of responsibility and guidance needed from us along with the financial complexity of your business. Most clients have an upfront cleanup fee to get the books to a good starting point before ongoing service begins. If you are looking for the lowest-cost option, we are probably not the right fit.

Do you clean up messy books?

Yes. We get your books caught up, fix categorization issues, reconcile accounts, and give you a clean starting point. Most cleanups take 2–6 weeks, depending on how far behind the books are and how many accounts and transactions we are dealing with. On the discovery call, we get an overview of where things stand, share both cleanup and ongoing pricing, then send a formal proposal within one hour after we get off.

What financial reports will I receive each month?

It depends on how much guidance you are looking for. At a minimum, you receive your profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and visibility into outstanding tax liabilities after payments are made. You can also receive numbers around cash flow, forecasting, margins, labor insights, job costing, client or job profitability, and other key metrics as needed.

Who do you usually work with?

We usually work with growing service businesses doing around $500k–$3M+ in annual revenue. This includes contractors and trades, creative agencies, medical and dental practices, consultants, and other professional service businesses.

How is CPA bookkeeping different from a regular bookkeeper?

A regular bookkeeper may keep transactions categorized and accounts reconciled. CPA bookkeeping gives you that plus better oversight, more visibility, guidance around cash flow, margins, taxes, payroll, profitability, and the decisions that come with growth. So when lenders, investors, or buyers ask for financials, you have numbers you can stand behind and they can trust.

Do you help prepare my books for tax season?

Yes. Your books are maintained with tax planning and tax preparation in mind throughout the year. We also give you monthly visibility into tax liabilities and other key items so the books stay coordinated with your tax planning and filing efforts.

Will you also do my taxes?

Yes. Tax preparation is available as an add-on for ongoing clients.

Do you help with payroll, 1099s, loans, and fixed assets?

Yes. We track payroll activity and liabilities, keep 1099 payments organized, and account for loan principal versus interest payments, fixed assets, and depreciation correctly in the books.

Can you support multiple entities?

Yes. We work with business owners who operate more than one entity and help keep each set of books. The scope depends on how the entities operate and whether there are shared expenses. We review that during the discovery call.

Do you use QuickBooks Online?

Yes. We work exclusively in QuickBooks Online and are Certified ProAdvisors.

Are you in Fort Lauderdale?

Yes, we are based in Fort Lauderdale. We serve service businesses locally and statewide virtually.

Do you offer bilingual bookkeeping services in English and Spanish?

Yes. We provide bilingual bookkeeping support in English and Spanish so you can discuss your financial goals and questions with confidence.
