How it Works
Reliable bookkeeping starts with a solid system, and stays reliable with proactive guidance.
Step 1: Consultation
We start with a short discovery call to learn how your business runs, what’s currently working (and what isn’t), and what you need from your books. If we’re a good match, you’ll get clear next steps. No pressure. No guesswork.
Step 2: Plan
After our call, I’ll put together a clear plan based on your business. It will address what needs to happen first, recommendations for going forward, and exactly what’s included. You’ll receive a proposal with scope, timeline, and pricing so you can make a confident decision.
Step 3: Onboarding
Once you’re ready to start, onboarding is simple and structured. You’ll get access to your client portal, I’ll connect the accounts we need, and we’ll set up a bookkeeping workflow that fits how you operate.
Less bookkeeping stress, more clarity
Simplify Your Bookkeeping
We take care of the bookkeeping details so you don’t have to. From reconciliations to payroll to monthly financial organization, we keep everything consistent and accurate, so that you’ll always know where things stand—without the stress of keeping up with it yourself.
Maximize Your Deductions
Your business is eligible for a wide range of tax deductions. We’ll make sure you’re taking advantage of all the deductions available to you, so you can keep more of your hard-earned money.

You have enough on your plate already. By outsourcing your bookkeeping, you can free up more of your valuable time to focus on your customers, your practice, and your off-work time.

You’ll work with a real human who understands your business and maintains your books consistently every month. When questions come up, you’ll have a reliable point of contact and proactive bookkeeping that keeps everything organized and accurate.

“In the broadest sense, bookkeepers help businesses keep their finances intact by keeping tabs on different accounts, transactions, and reports. They organize, collect, and store the business’s financial records, including cash flow statements, bank reconciliations, and profit and loss statements. Bookkeepers make it possible for business owners and accountants to build budgets, identify trends, and plan for the future.” -Intuit QuickBooks

Using cloud based accounting software with bank level encryption, business owners are more in tune with their financial progress than they ever were before. At the touch of a button business owners can access any of their financial data, wherever and whenever they need it. Virtual Bookkeepers work behind the scenes to keep that data current and are proactively looking for ways to help business owners to achieve their business goals. Bookkeepers work WITH business owners and are much more available for questions than the CPAs and accountants that are only available once a year.
With todays technology, virtual bookkeeping services offer flexibility and convenience that was previously unavailable. Business owners can access their financial records and reports from anywhere with an internet connection, and they can communicate with their virtual bookkeeper through phone, email, or video conferencing. Virtual bookkeeping services are more cost-effective than hiring an in-house bookkeeper, and they eliminate the need for office space and other overhead expenses.
We are able to use QuickBooks Online or Xero for your accounting software needs.
If you currently use a different software, we can help you make the switch.

It is very important that the person who prepares your books and the person who prepares your taxes are separate people. This reduces room for error and drastically cuts down on the necessity for tax corrections. It also provides a natural internal control against fraud.
Also if the IRS does decide to audit your business you will have a small team of professionals at your disposal.
We specialize in helping small businesses that need to keep their bookkeeping HIPAA compliant. This means we primarily offer bookkeeping services to private practices, healthcare providers occupational/physical therapists, mental health counselors and therapists, hypnotherapists, chiropractors, message therapists, wellness and fitness centers and others in the healthcare and allied health fields. While HIPAA compliant books are our zone of genius, we also help other service based businesses that do not need HIPAA compliance.
First we have a conversation, so that we can do a dive into what your business needs are and whether we are a good fit for your needs. We will discuss your current bookkeeping process, software preferences and any compatibility concerns. We usually do this with a zoom meeting.
We will then write a proposal so that we ensure everything that you want is covered and all questions are addressed. We will also include a timeline of when you can expect the steps to be completed. Your proposal will include package and pricing options as well as our satisfaction guarantee.
We are here to help! You can reach out to us through our secure client portal or email and we will respond promptly. We ask that you allow us 1 to 3 business days, but we are usually faster than that.
