A paid deep-dive when you want specifics: I go through your QuickBooks file or statements line by line and deliver a written findings sheet — what's wrong, what it's costing you, and a flat quote to fix it. Credited in full toward your cleanup if you move forward. (The free 30-minute checkup is the lighter version — start there if you're just curious.)

Year-End CPA Package (standalone)$499–899
Monthly clients get the Year-End CPA Package included free.
Then your quote gets built at the checkup — the tiers cover most businesses, and anything beyond them is priced flat and in writing before we start. The caps exist so you're never subsidizing someone else's chaos.
CPA firms commonly bill $150–400/hour, and monthly bookkeeping at a firm often runs well past $600/month for small businesses. You keep your CPA for what only a CPA should do — taxes and strategy — and pay bookkeeper rates for bookkeeper work.
Month to month, 30 days' notice, no setup fee when your books are current. If there's a backlog, the one-time cleanup is quoted flat at the checkup — often credited from your $199 Books Health Check.
Your monthly close lands by the 10th, or that month is on me. And if the first month isn't what you expected, you get your money back — I'd rather earn clients than trap them.
Rates are reviewed once a year with notice — never mid-engagement, never a surprise on an invoice. Annual prepay takes 10% off.
