Financial Clarity Monthly

“Your numbers organized, every month, without overwhelm.”


If your bookkeeping needs are straightforward but you still prefer professional management, consider our Monthly Bronze bookkeeping service. This option is ideal for businesses doing around 40 transactions or less per month, or Gross Sales per year below $300,000, with 3 or fewer checking or credit card accounts and under 40 transactions each month. It's often used by small companies that require monthly and annual financial statements for tax preparation and periodic oversight. Should you need to add more transactions or accounts, this can be done for an additional fee or via a change order invoice. You can begin with this service and upgrade to our more comprehensive programs as your needs grow. Since running a business is demanding, let our experienced team handle the bookkeeping and accounting responsibilities for you.

If you need them posted weekly please choose the Gold Weekly program, if needed monthly please choose the Bronze program.*
