BOOKKEEPING SERVICES · METRO DETROIT & NATIONWIDE
Bookkeeping Services
Monthly bookkeeping services for small businesses, done by the same CPA who prepares your tax return. Clean books all year, and no scramble at tax time.
Bookkeeping services I offer
I keep your books current each month so you always know where your business stands. Bookkeeping services include:
- Categorizing transactions and reconciling bank and credit card accounts every month
- Monthly profit and loss statement and balance sheet
- Tracking owner draws, distributions and owner pay
- Year-end cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping if you have fallen behind
Bookkeeping pairs naturally with business tax returns and S corp setup and consulting.
Why use your CPA for bookkeeping services and taxes
When one person handles both, nothing gets lost in the handoff. As a result, I build your tax return on books I kept with the return in mind.
- Fewer surprises at tax time. Because I see your numbers every month, I can estimate what you will owe and help you set quarterly estimated payments.
- Deductions get caught as they happen. I categorize expenses correctly the first time, instead of sorting them out in March.
- Planning during the year, not after it. For example, you can decide on an S corp election, owner pay or a large purchase while it still affects this year.
- One person to call. You do not have to coordinate between a bookkeeper and a CPA or pay twice to explain your business.
- Ready when you need it. Up-to-date financials make it easier to apply for a loan or answer an IRS notice. The IRS also expects small businesses to keep good records to support their returns.
