Bookkeeping & month-end close
The books, done properly — every month.
Clean, current records are the foundation for every other financial decision. This is the work that makes the rest possible.
What is included
Scope is agreed in writing before work starts, so you always know what is being handled and when.
Monthly bookkeeping
Every transaction coded to a chart of accounts built for the business and reconciled to the bank each month.
Catch-up & cleanup
A backlog untangled, the chart of accounts rebuilt, and a clean starting point with a paper trail.
Month-end close
Reconciliations, accruals and variance review completed by the agreed close date.
Payroll support
Payroll processing and the recordkeeping behind it, so your team is paid correctly and filings have support.
Invoicing & receivables
Invoicing on schedule and a receivables ageing reviewed weekly, so collections stay on track.
Reporting package
A short monthly package: profit and loss, balance sheet, cash position, and what changed.
Signs the books need attention
None of these indicate a problem beyond correction. In most cases the underlying process was never established, and that can be remedied.
- Bank balances and the general ledger are not in agreement.
- The month-end close has slipped and is completed well after the period ends.
- Supporting documentation for transactions is incomplete or held in several places.
- The previous bookkeeper is unresponsive and account access is undocumented.
- Profitability by customer, project or service line cannot be determined.
- Payroll and contractor payments are tracked manually, without reconciliation.

We correct the backlog, agree the chart of accounts and build a close calendar that holds.
- 04Monthly rhythm
Books closed on schedule, a report you can read, and a standing conversation about the numbers.
