Frequently Asked Questions
My firm primarily specializes in restaurants, salons and spas, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t take on clients who are not in those industries. My firm also has experience working with consultants, coaches, medium sized businesses in the construction industry, as well as daycare providers and preschools.
Yes, I can help you. I understand how stressful it can be to run your business and handle the day to day operations, like keeping up on the bookkeeping. Just know you’re not alone. 🙂
Together, we will execute a systematic plan to get your business bookkeeping caught up so you don’t have to worry about it anymore. We do that by looking at where you are right now and then building a plan to get you where you need to be.
-
- I perform a bookkeeping review (this is a one time cost of reviewing the current status of your bookkeeping). I will provide you with a report of my findings and recommendations.
- Using the recommendations outlined in the review report, I will initialize a renovation price based on the work that needs to be done to get your bookkeeping up to date (this is a standalone contract to complete the bookkeeping contained in the dates of the renovation work).
- I will then initialize a price going forward to keep your bookkeeping up to date on a monthly go forward basis.
My firm provides bookkeeping services; however, in saying that, we think like accountants, so we fully understand what the accountant is looking for in the file when it comes to completing your year end tax return.
If you have an accountant that you are comfortable with, I am more than happy to collaborate with them at year’s end to ensure your numbers are filed correctly. If not, I’d be happy to refer you to a few accountants that are within my circle of trusted colleagues.
Yes, I can help you! Many business owners under $250K in revenue are still wearing all the hats—handling marketing, sales, bookkeeping, and operations while also delivering the work that brings in revenue. I get it, and I know that outsourcing financial support might not be in your budget yet.
That’s exactly why I offer self-paced Profit First programs designed to help you take control of your business finances—without hiring a bookkeeper or committing to a long-term contract.
📌 With these programs, you’ll learn how to:
✔ Set up a simple system for managing cash flow.

✔ Build a profitable business that funds your future growth.
