- Paying helpers or a crew (1099 or W-2)

- Tax season sneaks up on me
- QuickBooks confuses me

Clients, apps and cash, each on its own line, so you can see where the work really comes from.
Money out, by category
Supplies, mileage, helpers and fees, grouped the way your tax preparer will want them.
What you kept
The profit for the month, next to last month, so you can see the direction.
A note in plain words
Two or three sentences from me about what changed and what to keep an eye on.

Questions
Straight answers before you book
How much does a bookkeeper cost?
It depends on how many transactions and accounts you have and whether your books are current. For context, low-volume monthly plans cost $150 to $399 a month: the published range from national online providers (Oct 2026). Those are other providers' prices, not mine. I quote after a free look at your statements, so the number fits your actual business.
Is the consult really free?
Yes. I don't charge for consultations. I like talking to people, and a conversation is the easiest way to see whether I'm the right fit for your business. You leave with a plain answer about what your books need, whether or not you hire me.
Do I need QuickBooks Online to work with you?
No. Most of my monthly clients use QuickBooks Online, and I can set it up for you. If your business is very small or just starting, a custom Google Sheet may fit better. Not every business is ready for accounting software, and that's okay.
Do you do taxes?
I'm a bookkeeper, not a tax preparer. I work alongside your CPA. I keep your books reconciled and current all year, so the person who files your return gets clean numbers and a quicker job.
My books are months behind. Can you still help?
Yes. Catching up is one of the most common reasons owners call me. I start from your bank and card statements, sort and match every transaction, reconcile each account, then hand you a clean file and a report. From there you can keep going yourself or move to monthly bookkeeping.
Do you work with businesses outside Atkinson?
Yes. I'm based in Atkinson, NH and work with businesses in the 50 towns within about 20 miles of it: Plaistow, Hampstead, Salem and Derry close by, out to Exeter, Manchester and Nashua, and across the state line to Haverhill, Andover and Lowell, MA. Most bookkeeping happens online through shared access, so the work runs the same whether you are next door or a few towns over.
