The Starting Point
A deadline is approaching, the books are a disaster, or you're realizing you're not entirely sure why there's never money left at the end of the month.
The Books Are Behind
Every month you tell yourself you'll catch up. Every month you don't. Now it's a pile of bank statements, receipts, and guilt. We take over, work through the backlog, and get you current. It's usually not as bad as you think.
You Outgrew Your DIY Setup
You set up QuickBooks yourself when you started. It worked for a while. Now there are accounts you don't recognize, transactions that never got categorized, and reports that don't make sense. We can fix it or start fresh.
Revenue Without Profit
You're busy, customers are paying, but there's never much left at the end of the month. You're not sure if it's labor, materials, or something else. Clean monthly books will show you exactly where it's going.
Payroll Got Complicated
When it was just you and one employee, it was fine. Now there are withholdings to calculate, deadlines to track, and mistakes you can't afford to make. Hand it off before something slips.
Tax Season Is Coming Fast
Your accountant needs your books and you're not ready. Last year you scrambled, overpaid, and probably missed deductions. We get your books ready before the deadline so this year goes differently.
You Need a Clearer Picture
Should you hire? Can you afford new equipment? Is that big client actually profitable? Those are all answerable questions. You just need up-to-date numbers and a bookkeeper who can walk you through them.
What We Bring
We're a small firm that works with small businesses. That's intentional, and it shapes how we work.
Direct Communication
You work with one person who learns your business. Questions get answered the same day by text, call, or email. No phone trees and no waiting for someone to get back to you.
Virginia Based
We are located in Richmond and work with businesses across central Virginia. Our reputation is here. That's a kind of accountability a remote firm doesn't have to think about.
10 Years Experience
Ten years means we've probably seen your problem before. We spend less time figuring things out and more time fixing them. You won't be paying for our learning curve.
Small by Design
We're not trying to scale into an agency with rotating staff and clients who never see the same face twice. When we take you on, there's actually room to do the work right.
Our Services
Start with what you need. Add more when it makes sense for your business. Nothing is bundled. No long-term contracts.
Monthly Bookkeeping
We close your books every month. You get accurate records, useful reports, and someone who answers when you have questions.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Behind on your books? We sort through the backlog and get you current. Flat project fee based on how far back we need to go.
Payroll Services
We run payroll, handle the tax deposits, and file everything. You tell us the hours and approve the run.
Accounts Payable
We pay your bills. You stop thinking about them. We flag anything unusual.
Accounts Receivable
We send your invoices, track what's owed, and follow up when payments are late. You do the work, we make sure you get paid for it.
Fractional CFO
Financial guidance beyond bookkeeping. Help with forecasting, pricing, cash flow, and the decisions that keep you up at night.
QuickBooks Setup
We set up QuickBooks the right way so you don't spend the next three years fixing mistakes from day one.
Inventory Management
Track what you have, what's selling, and what's sitting. Know your true cost of goods and stop guessing at margins.
Project Cost Tracking
Know which jobs make money and which ones don't. Track labor, materials, and subs against each project so you're not guessing at profit.
Sales Tax Services
We figure out where you owe sales tax, get you registered, and file the returns.
Industries We Work With
A contractor's books don't look like a retailer's. We know these industries and the patterns that show up in each.
Restaurants & Bars
Hospitality
Thin margins, high volume, constant chaos. We track food cost, labor, tips, and the hundred other places money leaks in this business.
Events & Catering
Hospitality
Deposits, per-event staff, variable food cost, and revenue that comes in chunks. We track it all so you know which events actually made money.
Job costing, retainage, slow-paying GCs, and equipment loans. We track it all so you know which jobs make money and which ones just keep you busy.
Home Services
Service Businesses
You grew from a truck and a phone into a real business. Now the back office needs to catch up to this new reality.
Auto Shops
Automotive
You make money two ways: parts and labor. If you're not tracking both carefully, profit leaks out faster than you'd think.
Salons & Spas
Beauty & Wellness
Services pay the bills. Retail is where the extra margin lives. If you're not tracking both separately, you don't know which one is actually making you money.
Fitness & Wellness
Health & Fitness
Membership count looks stable. Underneath, you're losing members as fast as you're adding them. We help you see what's really happening.
Boutiques & Shops
Retail
Some products pay the rent. Others just take up shelf space. We help you see which is which.
Real Estate Agents
Professional Services
Big checks, long gaps, and marketing that may or may not be working. We help you see the real numbers between closings.
Property Managers & Investors
Real Estate
Six properties, one bank account, no idea which ones are making money. We separate it out so you can see what's actually happening.
Insurance & Financial Services
Professional Services
Upfront commissions, trails, renewals. Money arrives from deals you closed last month and deals you closed three years ago. We help you make sense of it.
E-Commerce
Retail
Platform fees, ad spend, sales tax in twelve states, and returns that wipe out last week's profit. We help you see what you're actually making.
Farming
Agriculture
Income arrives at harvest. Expenses run all year. We help you plan the cash flow so August doesn't run out before February.
Craft Beverages
Food & Beverage
Grain in the silo, beer in the tank, kegs on the truck. We track inventory at every stage so you know what a batch actually costs.
Cleaning Services
Service Businesses
Commercial contracts look steady until you realize some barely cover labor. We track profitability by account so you know which clients are worth keeping.
Consultants & Coaches
Professional Services
You sell time. There's only so much of it. We help you see where it goes and what it needs to be worth.
Architects & Engineers
Professional Services
A project runs 18 months. Cash arrives in phases. Costs pile up in between. We help you know where you stand before the final invoice.
Creatives & Agencies
Professional Services
The project was profitable until the fifth round of revisions and the freelancer you had to bring in. We track it all so you know what you actually made.
