We meticulously track your income and expenses to ensure every report is accurate and up to date. Also, our team assists in preparing and filing your tax returns, ensuring that you leverage all the possible deductions to minimize your liabilities.

Nope! All bookkeeping is completed in-house.
Your bookkeeper will be your main point of contact, but at times you might hear from another member of your team. This is usually when your bookkeeper goes on vacation, is sick, or otherwise unavailable.
We handle the bookkeeping for you but sometimes we’ll need your input, especially at year-end. On average, expect to spend 15 minutes each month answering questions for your bookkeeper, or uploading supporting docs.
