How It Works
Iowa compliance and small-business finance, explained in plain English, from the bookkeepers who handle it every month.
You run a crew. You do not need another complicated vendor. Five steps, one flat price, and a close date you can set your watch by.
Books Health Check
A short call and an honest look at your books. Invite us into QuickBooks or just send statements. We tell you plainly what shape things are in. No charge, no strings, no judgment.
One flat quote
Your price before any work starts, based on volume and add-ons. The number we give you is the number you pay. Every package is published here.
Onboarding week
We set up or take over your QuickBooks Online file, connect bank and card feeds, and build a chart of accounts that fits how a contractor runs: jobs, crews, materials, subs.
The monthly rhythm
Transactions recorded and categorized. Every account reconciled to the statement, to the penny. Receivables, payables and loans tied out. Same cycle, every month. Full scope here.
Reports you can read
A profit and loss, a balance sheet, and plain notes on what changed and why. Questions never cost extra, because there is no hourly clock.
