How it works

Start with a free money check

Most businesses that bill after the job have money sitting in drafts and overdue invoices. We find it first. If you like what you see, we keep your books every month.

Tell us about your business

Your name, your business, and whether you're on Xero or QuickBooks Online. That's it.

1 minute

Invite us to your books

Add us as your bookkeeper in Xero or QuickBooks, the same way you'd invite anyone. You never share a password, and you can remove us any time.

2 minutes

Get your money check

Within 24 hours: the finished work you never billed, the customers who owe you, and how late they are.

Within 24 hours
Every month

Books you can trust, without doing them

Clean books, found money, and almost none of your time: a few one-tap questions a month.

Unbilled work, found

Every week we look for finished jobs that never became an invoice, so nothing you earned slips through.

Invoices chased, politely

We draft friendly reminders at 7, 14, 30 and 60 days in your voice. Nothing is sent until you tap OK.

Closed by the 5th

Last month's books are closed and reconciled by the 5th, with a short report that leads with money you're missing.

Tied to the bank, to the penny

Every account matches the bank's own balance. If it's off by a cent, we don't call it done.

Questions by text, one tap

Unclear charge? We text you three choices. Your answer becomes a rule, so we don't ask twice.

Questions

Good questions

Do I have to switch software?

No. We work inside the Xero or QuickBooks Online account you already have. If you're on something else, email us and we'll tell you honestly whether we're a fit.

Do you need my passwords?

Never. You invite us as your bookkeeper from inside Xero or QuickBooks. For your bank, you either link it read-only through Plaid (you sign in on Plaid's own screen) or download monthly statements yourself.

Can you move money or file taxes without me?

No. We never pay, refund, or file. Customer invoices and reminders go out only after you tap OK. We prepare your sales tax numbers; you file and pay.

How much of my time will this take?

A few minutes to set up, then a handful of one-tap questions a month by text or email. Each answer becomes a rule, so the questions get fewer over time.

What's in the free money check?

Draft invoices for finished work that were never sent, customers who owe you and how overdue they are, and anything odd we spot, like a customer charged twice. It's yours to keep whether or not you sign up.

My books are behind. Can you still help?

Yes. The setup covers catching up. We tie every account to the bank first, then close each month going forward.

Which businesses is this for?

Local businesses that bill after the job (studios, trades, contractors, agencies, cleaners, landscapers) in Illinois, Florida or Maine, on Xero or QuickBooks Online, often taking cards through Stripe or Square.
