More about JerryHow it works
Good books are what make everything else easier. Your tax return, your payroll and any conversation about profit all depend on the numbers in QuickBooks being right.
We record your transactions and reconcile every bank and credit card statement, so the balance in QuickBooks matches the balance at the bank. We also keep your depreciation schedules up to date, which saves a scramble at tax time.
If you would rather keep your own books, we can set up QuickBooks, train you on it and review what you prepare. Either way, the same office that keeps your books prepares your return.
Bookkeeping questions
Do you work in QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online?
Both. Chelsie Gowen is part of the QuickBooks ProAdvisor program and works in QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online.
Can you set up QuickBooks and show me how to use it?
Yes. Scott Duffitt sets up QuickBooks for clients and trains them on it, so you or your staff can keep entries current between our visits.
How often do you do the bookkeeping?
Weekly or bi-weekly works for most clients. We set the schedule around how many transactions you have and when you need reports.
My books are months behind. Can you still help?
Yes. We catch up the missing months first, reconcile them to your statements, and then keep you current from there.
