I provide small business bookkeeping services in Missouri from Marshfield, serving Springfield and southwest Missouri in person and the rest of the state remotely. Every set of books is handled by a CPA with 23 years of experience.
Most owners who come to me are not behind because they cannot do bookkeeping. They are behind because they are running a business. The work piles up quietly, then tax season arrives and a year of receipts is suddenly urgent.
My services are designed for business owners who:
If any of that sounds familiar, it is fixable, and it is far more common than you think.
Every engagement covers reconciled accounts, correctly categorised transactions, clean financial reports, and books that are ready for tax filing. Cleanup work comes first if your file needs it.
Bank, credit card and loan accounts matched and balanced, so the numbers in QuickBooks are the numbers in real life.
The single most common reason a profit and loss report does not make sense.
Duplicate deposits recorded as income will inflate what you owe. They get found and removed.
Expenses that never made it in are money you paid tax on for no reason.
So the file stays clean after I hand it back, not just on the day I finish.
A chart of accounts structured around how you actually operate, not a generic template.
The result is clean, organised books and financial reports that do more than check a box.
Most bookkeepers are not CPAs, and most CPAs do not do bookkeeping. I do both, which means the person entering your transactions is the same person who understands how they land on your tax return.
My background covers more than two decades of bookkeeping, accounting, tax preparation, sales tax and payroll, including payroll tax compliance. Because I understand how those pieces connect, I do not just clean things up. I make sure everything is structured correctly from the start, so your financials are accurate, your tax reporting is clean, and nothing creates a problem down the line.
That includes catching the things that quietly become expensive later: sales tax obligations, S-Corporation shareholder payroll, and other entity specific compliance matters that a bookkeeper working alone would have no reason to look for.
You schedule a diagnostic review. There is a $175 charge for it. I review your books before we meet, tell you exactly what needs fixing, and give you a written proposal. Nothing starts before you have seen that number.
A $175 diagnostic review of your QuickBooks Online file. This is a real piece of work, not a sales call.
You invite me to look at your file as an accountant. I do the reviewing before our appointment, on my time, not yours.
I walk you through exactly what is wrong, what caused it, and what it will take to fix. You get a straight answer whether or not you hire me.
Scope and price in writing. You decide from there.
A contractor’s books have to answer questions a retail business never asks: which jobs made money, what is billed against what has been spent, and whether the reporting will survive a bonding review.
Accurate, reliable financials, done right for contractors, service businesses and growing companies. When the books are not right it is easy to overspend, miss problems, or get hit with surprises at tax time. That is a stress you do not need to carry.
Generic bookkeeping does not produce job level answers, and finding that out in the middle of a bonding application is an expensive way to learn it.
I provide small business bookkeeping services in Missouri for owners who would rather be running their business than reconciling it. Call me to talk through your situation and work out the best way to get your books back on track.
