So grateful for the visibility and appreciation. Thank you all!

We receive a lot of calls looking for advice on how to form your new business structure. For business formation you should connect with a CPA or an EA. As we are bookkeepers, our expertise is in setting up an organized bookkeeping file and empowering individuals and business owners to have the understanding to complete their own books moving forward if that is the goal.

If the goal is to delegate the bookkeeping to a team, you should be paying around two percent of gross profits towards support. If you are paying less, lucky you! If you are paying more, you can connect with your bookkeeper to see if they can offer a concession or consider a transition.

We can support with ongoing bookkeeping support such as recording expenses and income, reconciling accounts including payroll, and helping clients interpret the profit and loss statements.

People find us during all sorts of transitions. Sometimes they have outgrown their current bookkeeper, sometimes they do not receive financials on time, sometimes their bookkeeper is not efficient. It is important to feel good about the collaboration and evaluate that it feels helpful moving forward. Only you can know what feels supportive to you.

If you feel like your bookkeeping system could use restructuring, your books are a mess and you need them cleaned up, or you would love some training to do the books yourself, we can be of support! Projects are our favorite.

Wishing you a marvelous Wednesday!

Wishing you a wonderful last day of 2023. We have been taking time to rest and reset with our families and look forward to reconnecting when we return on January 8th.

We are currently accepting new clients for mid-January and the first week of February for bookkeeping clean up support, file set up, and ongoing bookkeeping support. If you would like to schedule a discovery call, please complete our brief intake here: https://forms.gle/RZ2TRd4qA8raeYzB7

In the closing of 2023, maybe you feel behind on some goals, maybe you planned on catching up on your books, filing your taxes on time, or having clarity of where your finances stand. Maybe you made a lot of money and don't have much to show for it or maybe, you are in a position of needing to collaborate with someone new for a fresh start. However you are feeling, know you aren't alone, and sometimes the hardest thing is just starting.

Truly looking forward to connecting with you in 2024, and thank you to all of our clients for a 2023 to remember.
