Monthly Bookkeeping
The books, done right — by the fifth.
Categorised transactions. Reconciled accounts. A close you can plan around. This is the foundation everything else sits on, and we treat it that way.
$35.00 an hour · no minimum, nothing recurring
What’s included
Every month, without being chased.
Categorisation
Every bank, credit-card, and payment-processor transaction coded to the right account, with a consistent rule set so it stays that way.
Reconciliation
Every account reconciled to the statement each month — bank, card, loan, and clearing accounts — with differences chased down, not plugged.
Financial statements
A profit & loss and balance sheet delivered by business day five, formatted for an owner to read in five minutes.
A/R & A/P tracking
Open invoices and unpaid bills kept current so you always know who owes you and what you owe.
Clean audit trail
Source documents attached, journal entries explained, and a documented close checklist — so the numbers hold up to scrutiny.
A named accountant
One lead who learns your business and answers your questions — not a rotating queue.
Closed the same way, every month
The monthly close
A checklist, not a scramble.
Between the first and fifth business day of every month we run the same sequence: import and match transactions, reconcile every account, review the P&L and balance sheet for anything that looks wrong, post accruals and adjustments, and lock the period.
- Cut-off enforced — the prior month does not keep moving
- Balance-sheet accounts substantiated, not just “in balance”
- Unusual variances flagged to you before the statements go out
- Period locked so your reports do not change under you
