Monthly Bookkeeping

Your books current, reconciled and accurate every month, so you always know where the business stands.

What monthly bookkeeping includes

Monthly bookkeeping means I keep your QuickBooks Online records current every month: transactions categorized, payouts matched and every account reconciled.

You always know where your business stands, and tax season starts with books that are already finished.

Each month I review your records, categorize transactions, match payment-app payouts to the sales behind them and reconcile every bank and card account to its statement. Reconciliation is what makes the numbers trustworthy, so it is part of every month, never an extra.

Price: I quote after a free look at your statements.

Not sure monthly bookkeeping is the right fit? Pick what feels tangled and see a plan.

How Monthly Bookkeeping runs

  1. Free consult

    You tell me about your business, your accounts and what feels tangled. There is no charge and no commitment.

  2. First look

    I look at your statements and your current file to see where the books stand today.

  3. Catch up and connect

    Any backlog is cleaned up first, then your bank, card and payment-app accounts are connected.

  4. Close every month

    Transactions categorized, payouts matched, accounts reconciled and a report sent, month after month.

What you get every month

  • Every transaction categorized in QuickBooks Online
  • Square, Venmo, Rover and other payouts matched to the sales behind them
  • Every bank and card account reconciled to its statement
  • A profit and loss and a balance sheet you can read
  • Helper payments tracked through the year for 1099 time
  • Books ready to hand your tax preparer

One thing you can do today

Open your bank account and your accounting file side by side and compare the ending balance for last month. If they match, your books are reconciled. If they do not, the difference is money the books cannot explain yet, and finding it is the first job of monthly bookkeeping.

Monthly Bookkeeping: common questions

Book my free consult
What does monthly bookkeeping include?

Categorizing every transaction, matching payment-app payouts, reconciling every bank and card account and sending a profit and loss and balance sheet each month. Reconciliation is included every month, because it is what makes the numbers trustworthy.

Do you work in QuickBooks Online?

Yes. I am an Advanced QuickBooks ProAdvisor and certified in QuickBooks Online (Level 2), both verified in Intuit's ProAdvisor directory. If you are not on QuickBooks Online yet, setting it up can be the first step.

What if my books are behind?

I start with a one-time cleanup to bring them current, then move to the monthly routine. You get a clear quote for each part after a free look at your statements.

How much does monthly bookkeeping cost?

It depends on your transactions each month, how many bank and card accounts need reconciling and how many payment apps and helpers are involved. 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.

Do you prepare my taxes?

I keep the books your tax preparer works from. I'm a bookkeeper, not a tax preparer, and I work alongside your CPA, handing over reconciled books that make their part quicker.
