The bookkeeper who fixes the process, not just the numbers
Accurate books, and your time back.
Hand off your books, payroll, and filings to a QuickBooks Online bookkeeper — or keep the parts your team does well and let us handle the rest. For businesses, nonprofits, and churches in Saint Joseph, Michigan and remotely nationwide.
We think this work is life-changing. Most people find that out afterward.
Nobody hires a bookkeeper expecting to feel different. Then the reports arrive on time and make sense, the filings happen without anyone remembering them, and the weight you’d stopped noticing is gone.
There’s nothing quite like a clean, organized set of monthly financials that actually make sense. I know that’s an odd thing to find beautiful. But a set of books that tells the truth clearly is a real thing to make, and most business owners have never once seen theirs look like that.
Most bookkeepers will keep your books clean. That’s the job, and we do all of it — transactions, reconciliations, payroll, sales tax, 1099s, fixed assets, the annual filings, the monthly reports you actually need.
What makes us different is what happens next. Once we’re in your books, we start simplifying — fewer steps, fewer places where the same number gets typed twice. We automate what a machine genuinely does better, which saves hours and removes a whole category of errors at the same time. What we don’t automate is the part where people need to hear from a person. That stays.
Hand off the whole thing.
Books, payroll, sales tax, 1099s, depreciation, annual state filings, audit checklists, certificates of insurance — and the operational work that always lands on someone with eleven other jobs.
Handing it off is usually the first time in years that nobody is behind.
Or keep the parts your team does well.
A common split: you handle bill payment and payroll, we handle transaction posting and monthly reconciliation. We’ll tell you honestly which parts you should keep.
Teams that grow hand off more; teams that hire take more back.
I almost let that call go to voicemail.
A name I had not seen in years. I picked up. “I need your help — I am on the board of a nonprofit and their books are in bad shape.” Three years later I am still their consultant.
That is still how the work arrives: someone with real numbers and no time to keep them straight. More about the practice →
The office, 615 Broad Street, Saint Joseph.
“I’m not sure what to do with my time now”
Well, we had the answer for that. A surveying firm’s entire back office, handed off in 2021. Kept through a change of ownership.
A 58-vendor bill run, from hours to minutes
Roughly 232 manual entries a month, read by eye off one small-print page. The automation removed the typing and left an approval trail behind.
Why POS sales don't always match QuickBooks
A retailer posting adjusting entries every month to correct their own automation. We turned the sync off and rebuilt the books from the POS report.
Hundreds of projects, out of Excel and Word for good
Lab results were retyped into a report, then into an invoice. Now both generate from the record the lab data loads into.
You have one person doing bookkeeping between all of their other tasks.
An owner, an office manager, an executive director — carrying the books on top of their actual job. The work gets done, mostly. Then a deadline slips, the reports run late, and nobody can say for sure where things stand.
Handing it off is usually the first time in years that nobody is behind.
The state filing, the 1099s, the renewal — due whether anyone remembers or not.
Financials that arrive late, if at all, and don’t quite make sense when they do.
Finding out you’re short on funds without ever seeing it coming.
Bookkeeping & accounting
A monthly close that lands on time, on a file you can hand to a board or a bank without a caveat attached. Cleanups, catch-up work, payroll setup, and the Desktop migration you have been putting off.
Workflow automation
The part most bookkeepers do not offer. We read your source documents, build the entries from them, and take the recurring manual step out of the middle — across Zapier, Make.com, Docparser, Bill.com and Airtable.
Source documents in. A close that ties out.
Receipts, timesheets, POS summaries, statements, vendor bills. Each one is read where it arrives and posted to the right class the same day — so the close is a byproduct of the month, not a scramble at the end of it.
You turned on the integration. So why is someone still fixing it every month?
Native integrations are built for the simplest version of a business. Add programs, grants, classes or multiple channels and the integration stops being an automation.
Data gets entered once, at its source. Everything downstream is generated from it.
Posts daily data that never matches the source report.
Revenue never reconciles to the general ledger.
Syncs ignore classes, programs and grants.
