Books closed every month

Most small businesses don’t have a bookkeeping problem. They have a knowing problem — the work is good, the money comes in, and nobody can say whether last month actually made anything.

Monthly bookkeeping fixes that by making the answer arrive on a schedule.

What happens each month

• Every transaction categorized. Bank feeds, card charges, cash, the occasional personal purchase that snuck onto the business card. Coded and filed weekly, so nothing piles up.
• Every account reconciled. Checking, savings, credit cards, loans — matched to the statement, to the penny. This is the step that catches the double charge and the payment that never cleared.
• Statements by the 15th. A profit and loss, a balance sheet, and a short note from me telling you what changed and whether it matters.
• Questions answered the same day. Text me. You get a person, not a ticket number.

What it costs

Where you land depends on how many transactions you run and how many accounts you have. No hourly billing, so asking me a question never costs you anything.

After our call I’ll work out the scope properly and send you a written quote within two business days. Nothing starts, and nothing is owed, until you’ve seen the number and said yes.

Who it suits

Owner-operators and small crews who are past the shoebox stage and want the books to stop being a Sunday-night job — plumbers, electricians, landscapers, salons, shops and repair businesses around Lincoln and Omaha.

If you’d rather do the handover in person than over email, that’s easy to arrange. Being local is the point.
