Torie has been an incredible asset to our business. She is true to her word by customizing her efforts to accommodate us. Torie has been very proactive helping to direct and manage our business finances. Her care as well as expertise has been a game changer for us. Torie brings a patience and persistence I have not known previously.
I have no reservations recommending balanced bear bookkeeping to anyone.

Torie has been a huge help to me and my business! I own a mental health therapy practice, and it's been great working with someone who is already aware of and understands HIPAA. Torie is very self-driven and communicates when needed, but otherwise I truly feel like I can take bookkeeping off of my mental load - which is exactly what I needed.

“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.  

Balanced Bear Bookkeeping uses a software called Hubdoc for receipt and paper management. It has a convenient app that enables you to take pictures of whatever piece of paper that you need to send us. And that is all you have to do!

On our end, we use Hubdoc to categorize and import the data into QuickBooks.

Keeper for encrypted data transfer and client portal access –  Included.

Google Drive – optional and free storage.

Plooto – only required when invoicing or bill pay services are elected. Prices vary

A2X for ecommerce clients only. Prices vary.

At this time Balanced Bear Bookkeeping does not offer tax filing. 

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.
