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.

2
From $350/mo + $250 onboarding

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.

3
About an hour of your time

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.

Closed by the 10th, every month

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.

5
No meter running

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.

Already behind? Months or years, same path: we fix the history first. Fixed quote, cleanups from $350, most done in two to four weeks. How cleanup works. Then the roadmap above starts from a clean line.
