You're in the right place if…
We work with service-based businesses doing $150K–$3M in revenue. If any of these sound familiar, we've handled it before — without judgment.
You haven't reconciled in months
The bank feed is full of unmatched transactions and you're not sure what's real anymore. Catch-up is our most common starting point.
Your previous bookkeeper disappeared
They stopped responding, left the books half-done, or made changes nobody can explain. We audit the damage and fix it systematically.
Business and personal are mixed
A common problem, especially in the early years. We untangle the accounts, establish clean boundaries, and set up the right chart of accounts.
You're growing and the books can't keep up
More revenue, more complexity, more transactions — and your DIY bookkeeping is starting to crack. We scale your systems as you grow.
Your CPA is asking for things you can't produce
Tax season shouldn't be a scramble. We deliver clean P&Ls, Balance Sheets, and supporting documents before your CPA needs them.
You don't know if your books are accurate
Something feels off but you can't pinpoint it. The $500 diagnostic finds every problem and tells you exactly what's wrong — and what it costs to fix.

Common bookkeeping problems we fix.
Most of these show up in the diagnostic. None of them are unusual — and all of them are fixable.
Unreconciled bank accounts
Your QuickBooks balance doesn't match your bank statement and hasn't for months. Every month it gets harder to untangle.
Uncategorized transactions
Hundreds of transactions sitting in "Uncategorized Expense" or "Ask My Accountant." Your P&L is meaningless until these are coded correctly.
A P&L you don't trust
Your income statement shows numbers that don't feel right. Usually a sign of miscoded transactions, duplicate entries, or a chart of accounts that needs restructuring.
Personal expenses in the business
Mixed accounts create problems at tax time and make your P&L useless for decision-making. We separate, recode, and set up the right boundaries going forward.
Payroll tax penalties
Missed deposits, late filings, or incorrect withholding. We identify the gap, correct the filings, and put a process in place so it doesn't happen again.
Washington B&O tax errors
Missed B&O tax filings or incorrect revenue classifications are common with out-of-state bookkeepers. We know Washington's tax structure and handle it correctly.
Clean books in three steps.
