Who we are

We only take on businesses under 50 employees

Dana Halstead left a regional firm in 2011 because small clients were always last in the queue. Today we are seven people serving about 190 businesses, none larger than fifty employees. That focus means we already know what a food truck, a framing contractor and a two chair salon each need at tax time.

•One assigned bookkeeper you can name and email directly
•Flat monthly price agreed up front, revisited once a year
•We work in QuickBooks, Xero and Wave, whatever you already use

Reviews

Why clients stay

“I was 14 months behind and terrified to call anyone. They quoted the cleanup flat, finished it in five weeks, and never once made me feel stupid.”

Ray K., Landscaping contractor

“Having the P&L by the 10th changed how I buy inventory. I stopped guessing.”

Michelle A., Retail shop owner, Meridian

“Payroll has been filed on time for four years. That is the whole review.”

Tomas E., Eleven employee auto shop
FAQ

Common questions

How is flat fee pricing set?

We look at transaction volume, number of bank and card accounts, payroll headcount and whether you carry inventory. That gives a monthly number we hold for twelve months. If your volume jumps, we tell you before the price changes.

My books are years behind. Is that a problem?

It is the most common way clients arrive. We do a free file review, quote the cleanup as a fixed project, and work backward from the most recent year first so your next filing is safe. Most cleanups run four to eight weeks.

Do you file my business tax return too?

We prepare and file returns for S corps, partnerships and sole proprietors we already do bookkeeping for. We do not take return only clients, because we cannot stand behind numbers we did not keep.

Can we switch mid year?

Yes. We pull your prior data, reconcile from the last clean month and pick up the current month. Switching in the first three quarters is straightforward. December switches usually wait until January.
