Terms of service
Last updated September 30, 2026
The short version: we keep your books in your own Xero or QuickBooks account. You stay in charge of your business decisions and your tax filings. The money check is free, the monthly service can be cancelled any time, and you can remove our access whenever you want.
Who these terms are between
These terms are between you (the business that signs up, and the person signing up for it) and Stardog Golf LLC, which operates Stardog Bookkeeping ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy.
What we do
- Free money check: once you invite us to your books, we look for unbilled work, overdue invoices and payments that were never recorded, then show you what we found. There's no charge and no obligation.
- Monthly bookkeeping: we record and categorize transactions, match card sales and payouts, reconcile accounts, close each month, send you a monthly report, follow up on overdue invoices when you approve it, and prepare sales tax worksheets.
We're bookkeepers, not your accountant or lawyer. We don't give tax, legal or investment advice, and we don't file tax returns. Your CPA or tax preparer remains responsible for returns, and you remain responsible for filing and paying any tax due. When we prepare a sales tax worksheet, you (or your tax preparer) review it and file it.
Access you give us
You authorize us to access the accounts you connect (Xero or QuickBooks Online, bank and card accounts through Plaid, and Stripe or Square) and to create and update entries in your books to deliver the service. You confirm you're allowed to give that access. You can remove it at any time. Removing it stops the parts of the service that depend on it.
Your part
- Give us accurate information and answer our questions about your transactions within a reasonable time. The books can only be as right as the answers.
- Approve anything we ask you to approve before it's sent, such as customer follow-ups.
- Keep your own subscriptions to Xero or QuickBooks, Stripe or Square in good standing. Those are between you and them.
Price and payment
Monthly bookkeeping is $349 per month, plus a one-time $1,000 setup fee, which we credit back to you once you've been with us for 3 months. We'll confirm the price in writing before you're charged anything. Fees are billed monthly in advance and aren't refundable for a month that has already started, except as stated below. We'll give you at least 30 days' notice of a price change.
Close guarantee: if we don't close a month's books by the 5th of the following month for a reason within our control, that month is free.
Cancelling
You can cancel monthly bookkeeping at any time by emailing us. It ends at the end of the current month. We'll finish that month's close if you ask, then disconnect from your accounts. Your books stay in your own Xero or QuickBooks account. We may end the service with 30 days' notice, or right away if you break these terms or ask us to do something unlawful.
Our responsibility
We do the work carefully and fix our own mistakes at no charge. Beyond that, and to the extent the law allows: the service is provided as is; we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for losses caused by information you gave us or by the services you connect; and our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before it.
Changes to these terms
If we change these terms, we'll update the date above. If a change is significant, we'll email current clients at least 30 days before it takes effect.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois.
