Discovery & Assessment

Week 1

We begin with a thorough review of your current financial ecosystem — your chart of accounts, transaction volume, existing software, and any compliance gaps. If catch-up work is required, we identify the full scope here. No surprises later.

Seamless Onboarding

Weeks 1–2

We establish secure, read-only connections to your banks and credit card accounts, integrate with your payment processors (Stripe, Square, PayPal), and connect your payroll system. We set up automated receipt capture via Dext or Hubdoc and establish our asynchronous communication workflow.

Cleanup (If Required)

Weeks 2–4

If your books are behind, we pause current-month processing to systematically reconcile historical data. We clear suspense accounts, correct miscategorizations, and establish a clean, defensible baseline — month by month, going back as far as needed.

Monthly Bookkeeping Rhythm

Ongoing

Our core service. We categorize transactions weekly, perform rigorous account reconciliations at month-end, and send a single, concise query for any uncategorized items. One batch of questions per month — never constant pinging.
