We Know What Messy Books Look Like — and We Know How to Fix Them
Bugaboo Bookkeeping is a remote bookkeeping and crypto tax firm serving small business owners and crypto investors nationwide. Over 20 years of experience. No judgment. No fluff. Just clean books and accurate numbers.
If you’re behind, overwhelmed, or inheriting someone else’s mess — you’re exactly who we work with.
The Clients We Work With
We built Bugaboo Bookkeeping for two types of business owners. You probably recognize yourself in one of them.
Small Business Owners
Service-based businesses doing $150K–$5M in revenue who need their books done right, on time, and integrated with QuickBooks Online. Whether you’re behind on catch-up, inheriting a prior bookkeeper’s mess, or just done doing it yourself — this is what we do.
- Monthly bookkeeping in QBO
- Cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping
- Bookkeeping diagnostics
- Payroll (up to 11 employees)
Crypto Investors & Traders
Multi-wallet, multi-exchange investors — including DeFi, staking, NFTs, and anyone who had assets on a bankrupt exchange — who need their crypto taxes reconciled accurately. We work with Koinly, CoinTracker, CoinLedger, ZenLedger, Awaken Tax, and Summ.
- Full transaction history reconciliation
- DeFi, staking, and NFT coverage
- FTX, Celsius, BlockFi bankruptcy handling
- Crypto tax diagnostics
What We Actually Do
We specialize in two things. We do them well. We don’t try to be everything to everyone.
📚 Bookkeeping
Monthly bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online. Catch-up and cleanup for books that are behind or broken. Diagnostics that tell you exactly what’s wrong with your current file. Payroll for small teams.
We reconcile every account against statements — not just the bank feed. We don’t force reconciliations. We find the actual errors.
📈 Crypto Tax Reconciliation
We pull transaction histories from every wallet and exchange, reconcile them against on-chain data, identify cost basis for every disposal, and produce a clean gain/loss report your CPA can actually use.
We’ve processed over a million crypto transactions. We know what DeFi looks like, what staking income means, and how to handle a bankrupt exchange correctly.
We work alongside CPAs and tax preparers — we don’t replace them. Our job is to give your CPA clean, accurate records so they can do their job without guessing. Need a CPA referral? Ask us.
Why Clients Come to Bugaboo Bookkeeping
These are the situations we hear most often. None of them are unusual. All of them are fixable.
How We Work
Fully remote, async-friendly, and built around your schedule — not ours.
Everything starts with a diagnostic
Before we quote any ongoing work, we run a $500 flat-fee diagnostic. For bookkeeping, that’s a 60+ point review of your QBO file. For crypto, it’s an audit of your transaction history and cost basis. You get a written report. No surprises, no obligation to continue.
We work cloud-based and async
You don’t need to be in Washington to work with us. We serve clients in all 50 states. Everything runs through QuickBooks Online, our client portal, and secure document sharing. Most clients never need a call unless they want one.
No judgment — ever
We’ve seen books that haven’t been touched in three years. Crypto portfolios with 200,000 transactions and no cost basis records. Payroll set up completely wrong for five years. None of it surprises us. It’s our job to fix it — not judge it.
We give you something your CPA can use
Our deliverable is always the same: clean, accurate, reconciled records that your tax preparer can work with without follow-up questions. We bridge the gap between “I have transactions” and “I have a tax-ready file.”
Where to Start
Every engagement starts with a diagnostic. It’s the fastest way to know exactly what you’re dealing with — and what it will take to fix it.
