Bookkeeping

Why outsource your bookkeeping?

First, some lingo clarification, outsource means you hire someone to do your bookkeeping that's not your employee. Some outsource bookkeeping companies send your work overseas. We don't do that, your books are prepared here by our team.

Our process is remote which means we can serve anyone, anywhere, just as well as in person down the street.

BOOKKEEPING SERVICE OPTIONS

 

After-the-fact Bookkeeping (ATF)

After-the-fact (ATF) bookkeeping is our most affordable option but by no means a lesser value. Bookkeeping is prepared by us directly from your bank and credit card statements using Quickbooks.

Catch-up Work

It’s customary to need a little work done to get your books up to speed. This can include catching up past months (even years) or cleaning up old errors. We charge a one-time fee for catch-up services. An initial deposit is due upon acceptance of a proposal with final payment invoiced/due upon completion of the work. Services fall under the same responsibilities as outlined and selected above.

If you sign-up for a continued on-going bookkeeping or tax relationship we'll work with you to reduce the catch-up fee.

Software

We use Quickbooks Online or Quickbooks Desktop, depending on the level of access you desire. If you would like full access to your numbers, you need Quickbooks Online. This allows us to work seamlessly together with multi-user access. All QBO fees for the software are billed directly to you by Intuit at their current rates. 

If you don’t need access and are happy receiving the monthly financial statements we provide, use can use our firm’s Quickbooks Desktop (QBD) software. You will not have direct access but we can supply additional reports upon request. We get the latest version of QBD annually and your company file is saved on our servers which are backed up automatically regularly. We do not charge a software fee for use of our QBD. 

Unfortunately, we do not learn private industry specific software. We wouldn't be pros at it and want to ensure we maximize value to you. You'd be better suited having someone in-house who learns more features of the software beyond accounting.

 

Feel overwhelmed? Fear Not! Ask yourself one simple question:

Do I want to pay my own bills or not?

Yes. After-the-fact or Tag-Team is the way to go.

No. You want full OnaBooks.
