QuickBooks Live Bookkeeping (Service Add-on):

1. Monthly Bank & Credit Card Reconciliation
We match every transaction in your bank and credit card accounts to your accounting software (like QuickBooks or Xero).
The Value: This ensures your books are accurate to the penny and that no expenses are missing or duplicated.
2. Categorization of Income & Expenses
We sort every dollar that moves through your business into the correct "bucket" (e.g., Materials, Fuel, Insurance, or Labor).
The Value: This allows you to see exactly where your money is going and makes tax time a breeze because your deductions are already organized.
3. Monthly Financial Statements
You will receive a Profit & Loss (P&L) statement and a Balance Sheet every month.
4. Accounts Payable (Bill Tracking)
We keep track of who you owe money to and when those bills are due.
5. Digital Document Storage
We help you maintain a digital trail by attaching receipts or invoices to their corresponding transactions in your software.
The Value: It makes your business "Audit-Proof." You can toss the shoebox of receipts and keep your office clutter-free.
We provide the administrative structure of a major corporation for a fraction of the cost. This is your "Instrument Panel." It tells you if you are actually making money or if there are "headwinds" you need to adjust for before they become a problem.
