Service 01

Monthly Bookkeeping & Close

The core engagement. Every transaction categorized, every account reconciled, every close reviewed by a controller before it reaches you — on a calendar you can plan around.

Bank, credit card, merchant and payment-processor reconciliation
Accrual entries: prepaid, deferred revenue, accrued payroll, depreciation
AR and AP aging with a collections and payables watchlist
Income statement, balance sheet, cash flow and a controller’s narrative
Chart of accounts designed around your operating reality, not a template

The close calendar

Feeds sync, the prior month locks, exceptions are queued.

Days 2–3 — Reconciliation

Your bookkeeper clears every account and posts accruals.

Days 4–5 — Controller review

Variance analysis, tie-outs and sign-off on the package.

Day 6 — Delivered

Transactions: 18,412

Service 02

Catch-Up & Cleanup

Behind a quarter or behind three years — the work is the same, only the volume changes. We rebuild the history, restate the balance sheet, and hand you an audit trail you can actually defend.

Chart of accounts rebuild with clean prior-period mapping
Opening balance sheet true-up and equity restatement
Restated figures your preparer can use to amend prior filings
Documented restatement memo for lenders, buyers and auditors

Pricing

From $375 per month of back books at medium complexity. Quoted as a fixed one-time fee after a free diagnostic — never hourly.
