Common questions
The things owners ask me first.
- Do I have to change software?
- No. I work in whatever you already run, QuickBooks most often.
- My books are a mess. Is that a problem?
- Normal starting point. Clean-up is quoted separately and up front.
- I already have a bookkeeper.
- Plenty do. Sometimes the fix is a restructure yours can run, and I will say so.
See what it would cost you.
Thirty minutes, a real price in writing, an honest answer on fit. Or send last year's return and I will review it free.
