Luster Bookkeeping

Halfway through 2026 already, is your bookkeeping keeping up?

This is honestly one of the best times of year to do a mid-year check on your books. Why? Because there's still time to fix problems before year-end gets here and tax season sneaks up on you again.
Here's what I offer to help:
✅ Monthly Bookkeeping and Reporting - $250-$400/mo
Reconciliations, categorization, clear monthly reports, year-end prep, and unlimited email support. QuickBooks Online subscription included.
✅ Catch-Up/Cleanup - Starting at $600
Behind on your books? I'll get everything reconciled and cleaned up so you can start fresh.
✅ QuickBooks Online Setup - $400 flat
New to QuickBooks or switching over? I'll set everything up and train you in one hour.
All services include a free consultation first, because I want to make sure we're a good fit before anything is signed.
Local to Burlington area. Fully remote-capable anywhere in Iowa.

Did you know QuickBooks Online can actually tell you if your business is profitable and in just under 60 seconds?
Run a Profit & Loss report and you'll see exactly what came in, what went out, and what's left over for any time period you choose.
Here's how:
-> Go to Reports
-> Search "Profit and Loss"
-> Set your date range
-> Hit Run Report
Easy as pie. No spreadsheets, no guessing.
If your QuickBooks isn't set up yet, or your numbers don't quite make sense when you look at the, that's exactly what I help with.
Monthly bookkeeping starting at $250/mo, or a one-time QuickBooks setup for $400.

A little bit about the person behind Luster Bookkeeping:
I'm Celana Luster, a wife, baker, accounting student, and the owner of Luster Bookkeeping LLC right here in Burlington, IA.
I started this business because I genuinely understand the overwhelm of running a small business. When I started my own baking business, keeping up with finances while handling everything else was a lot. I didn't want other small business owners in Southeast Iowa to feel that same stress alone.
So I became a certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and built a bookkeeping service around one simple promise: clear, accurate books delivered on time.
Whether your books are perfectly current or months behind, I am here to help!
If you've been putting off getting your finances organized, this is your sign.
Free 15-minute consultation, no pressure, just a conversation.
