Monthly bookkeeping for small businesses

Your books, closed every month: every account reconciled, every transaction in the right place, and reports you can actually read. It's $250 per bank account per month, or $200 when you prepay the year.

Or call 901-907-2903. Zack and Caitlyn pick up.

What a monthly close covers

A monthly close is the routine that keeps your books true. Here's what it typically includes. We confirm the exact scope with you on the review call, so you know what you're paying for before you start.

  • Categorizing every bank and card transaction
  • Reconciling each account to its statement
  • Clearing the uncategorized pile and asking you about the odd ones
  • Recording sales tax you collect as a liability, not income
  • A profit and loss and a balance sheet each month
  • A short note on anything that looks off

How the pricing works

Pricing is per bank or credit card account, because that's what drives the work. One checking account and one card is 2 accounts, or $500 a month.

There's a one-time $2,500 setup fee to get your file set up and your history in order. Prepay the year and the setup fee is waived, and the rate drops to $200 per account per month.

If you're behind, catch-up is quoted separately and up front. See catch-up bookkeeping below.

Who this is for

  • Owners who want to stop doing their own books at night
  • Businesses that collect sales tax and file every month or quarter
  • Anyone whose tax preparer keeps asking for "clean books"
  • Owners who want to know their numbers before making a big decision

Who it isn't for

If you only need a tax return prepared, or payroll run on its own, a CPA or payroll service is a better fit. We'd rather say that up front.
