Monthly bookkeeping isn't just data entry. It's the foundation of tax-ready, decision-quality financial records. Here's what we handle for you:
What You Get Each Month (Deliverables)
Every month, you receive clear financial reports delivered on a predictable schedule. These are the same reports you'd need for a bank, investor, or your CPA at tax time.
Need more than standard reports? Our financial analysis and reporting service adds KPIs, trend analysis, and owner-ready insights to help you understand what the numbers mean.
Who This Service Is For
If Your Books Are Behind, Start With Cleanup First
Monthly bookkeeping works best when we're starting from a clean slate. If your books are behind by months (or years), we'll quote a one-time cleanup project first. This gets your historical records accurate before we transition to ongoing monthly service.
This approach prevents ongoing errors and ensures your financials are reliable from day one.
Learn about our bookkeeping cleanup serviceWhy Reconciliations Matter
Bank reconciliations aren't busywork—they're how you know your books are accurate. Every month, we match your QuickBooks transactions against your actual bank and credit card statements to catch:
- Duplicate transactions or missing entries
- Bank fees or charges you didn't notice
- Fraudulent activity or unauthorized transactions
- Categorization errors that affect your taxes
The Bottom Line
Without monthly reconciliations, you're guessing. With them, you have tax-ready books that you, your CPA, your bank, and the IRS can trust. Reconciliations are the difference between "bookkeeping" and reliable financials.
How Monthly Bookkeeping Connects to Taxes and Planning
Clean monthly books aren't just about record-keeping—they're the foundation of accurate tax filing and smart tax planning. When your books are current and reconciled, your CPA can:

FAQs About Monthly Bookkeeping & Reconciliations
How often will my books be updated?
We close your books monthly. You'll receive reconciled financials within a consistent timeframe each month—typically by the 15th of the following month. No surprises or delays.
What software do you use for monthly bookkeeping?
Most clients use QuickBooks Online. If you're on another system, we'll discuss whether it makes sense to migrate during our initial call. We also offer QuickBooks setup and consulting if you need help getting started.
What if my books are behind right now?
That's incredibly common. We'll quote a one-time cleanup project to get you current, then transition to monthly bookkeeping from a clean starting point. We don't start ongoing work on messy books.
Do I need to send you receipts and invoices every month?
We'll set up a simple system for document sharing—most clients use email or a shared folder. Whatever works best for your workflow. We handle the categorization and matching.
Will you handle payroll and taxes too?
We offer payroll as a separate add-on service. Many bookkeeping clients add payroll for a complete back-office solution. Tax preparation is also available—most clients prefer having everything under one roof.
How do I know my books are accurate?
Every transaction is matched and verified through bank reconciliations. You'll receive monthly reports showing exactly where your money went, what your business earned, and what you owe. These reports are tax-ready year-round.
Can you work with my existing tax preparer?
Yes. We can coordinate with your current CPA or tax professional to ensure they have clean books when tax season arrives. Many clients eventually consolidate everything with us for simplicity.
