Fresh Start BookkeepingJames D. Yates, CPA

If your books are behind, messy, or not something you fully trust, you are not alone. A lot of small business owners and solo operators reach a point where bookkeeping gets pushed aside or becomes difficult to keep up with consistently.I help get things back in order and keep them that way. This usually starts with cleaning up your existing records and bringing everything current, then moving into simple, ongoing monthly bookkeeping to keep your numbers accurate and up to date. All work is done in QuickBooks Online with a focus on reconciled accounts, clean records, and consistency month to month.The goal is straightforward: give you financials you can rely on without adding complexity or creating more work for you. I keep my client list small so the work stays consistent, responsive, and easy to manage.If you would like a free consultation please fill out the form below with a brief description and we will set up a time to chat. I look forward to meeting you.Note I do not offer tax services but can help you get your books ready for a tax preparer to review.
