These come up most often in a first conversation. If something here does not cover your situation, email me and ask.
Yes. Nearly every client keeps records in a cloud accounting system, and close work does not require anyone to be in the building. I take engagements nationwide.
I quote a fixed fee for defined work — a cleanup, a specific close, a technical memorandum. Where the scope cannot reasonably be determined up front, I bill hourly against a cap agreed beforehand, so the total cannot run past a number you have approved.
Often, and it usually works better that way. A bookkeeper who handles day-to-day processing well can still need support on a technical question or a close that has broken down. I am there to strengthen the existing team, not to replace it.
I work with organizations that have outgrown a bookkeeper but cannot yet justify a permanent controller. In practice that means meaningful transaction volume, several accounts to reconcile, and a close consuming more time than it should.
No. I handle close support, cleanup and technical accounting. What I do is leave your records in a state your tax preparer can work from directly, which ordinarily lowers what they charge you.
Tell me what you need, which system your records sit in, and when it has to be finished. I will reply with whether I can help and what it would cost.
