Simple financial support designed for solopreneurs, freelancers, consultants, and small service businesses.

Running a one-person business is challenging enough.
Your bookkeeping and taxes should be clear, organized, and manageable.

My services are designed to help you stay organized, tax-ready, and confident all year.

No jargon.
No overwhelm.
Just practical support that works in real life.

1. Monthly Bookkeeping

Clean, organized books — every month.

This is the foundation of a calm and well-run business.

Monthly bookkeeping keeps your financial records accurate, organized, and ready for tax time — without last-minute stress.

Ideal for:

• freelancers
• consultants
• independent contractors
• small service businesses
• solopreneurs using QuickBooks Online

What’s Included

• Transaction categorization in QuickBooks Online
• Bank and credit card reconciliations
• Clean financial reports
• Organized records ready for tax preparation
• Ongoing support when questions arise

When your books stay organized each month, your business decisions become easier and tax season becomes smoother.

Monthly bookkeeping services start around $239 per month, depending on transaction volume, financial accounts, and account complexity.

2. Bookkeeping Cleanup

Behind on your books? That’s fixable.

Many business owners fall behind on bookkeeping. It happens.

I’ll review your records, correct errors, reconcile accounts, and bring everything up to date so you can move forward with confidence.

You’ll receive:

• Clean, accurate books
• Fully reconciled accounts
• Corrected transactions and categories
• Tax-ready financial statements

Cleanup work is quoted based on the condition and time required.

Once your books are clean, we can transition into simple monthly bookkeeping.

3. Tax Preparation

Clear, accurate tax returns without the stress.

I prepare tax returns for individuals and small business owners who want reliable guidance and straightforward answers.

Clients include:

• individuals and families
• freelancers and independent contractors
• solopreneurs and single-member LLCs
• partnerships and S-corporations

What You Can Expect

• Accurate tax preparation
• Plain-English explanations
• Secure digital client portal
• E-filing and organized documentation

Individual returns generally start at $197, with pricing based on complexity and the number of forms.

Business tax returns generally begin at around $647.

Final pricing is confirmed in advance.

4. Year-Round Tax Guidance

Support beyond tax season.

Taxes affect decisions throughout the year — not just when filing a return.

Clients often reach out for guidance on things like:

• estimated tax payments
• contractor vs employee decisions
• equipment purchases
• avoiding penalties and surprises

This ongoing support helps solopreneurs stay organized and confident throughout the year.
