Monthly Bookkeeping, Closed by the 10th
Your books, reconciled every week and closed every month, with a one page report you will actually read. Base rates from $350 a month.
What a close includes
Los Gatos: A close is the moment the month stops moving. Every bank and card account matches its statement, every deposit has a source, and every bill is where it belongs. We do the work weekly so that the close itself takes an afternoon, not a weekend.
By the 10th you get a one page report. Profit for the month and the year so far. Cash on hand and what is due out. Anything odd we found, in a sentence, with what we did about it. If a number moves a lot, your bookkeeper calls before you open the email.
We work in the common cloud accounting apps, bank feed tools and receipt capture apps small businesses already use. If you are on a desktop program from another decade, we can move you, or work where you are for a while.

What to watch: card fees rose after the new delivery app. We flagged it and pulled the statements. Sample figures.
