Small business bookkeeping: Hand the books over for good.
Every transaction categorized, every account reconciled, every month closed and reviewed by a licensed CPA. You get financials you can actually read, and your evenings back.
What handing it over is worth
The administrative side of your business stops being your job.
Bookkeeping is the work that never announces itself as urgent and never goes away. It takes your evenings, it takes your weekends, and in a lot of households it quietly becomes a spouse's second job. Handing it over buys that time back permanently.
The second payoff is that you can finally trust the numbers. Books that are reconciled every month and reviewed by a CPA are books you can make decisions on: whether you can afford the hire, whether that job was actually profitable, whether the margin slipped or just felt like it did.
And because I am a CPA, the books are built all year the way they need to look at year-end. There is no scramble in February to make the file usable, because it was already usable in March, and June, and October.
What I handle every month
Books kept to a CPA standard. Reconciled every month. Nothing extra to buy.
Clean books are also what makes everything else possible. My tax strategy work starts from numbers that are already right.

The software is included
Your books run on software I built myself.
Your books stay clean, reconciled and CPA-reviewed. I run the backend. There is no separate subscription for you to manage or renew, and the books stay yours. Your ledger exports to standard CSV any time you want it.

A worked example
What a month actually looks like.
Say you run a twelve-person shop with two operating accounts, three cards, a line of credit, and payments landing from more than one processor. Here is the month, and how much of it involves you.
All month, transactions arrive on their own.
Your accounts, cards, and payment processors feed straight into my platform, so nothing waits on someone exporting a spreadsheet. Categorization happens against your own chart of accounts as the activity lands, not in one panicked pass at month-end.
Early the next month, everything gets reconciled.
Every account is tied to its statement balance. Processor deposits get matched back to the sales and fees that make them up, which is the step most commonly skipped and the one that decides whether your revenue number is real.
Anything ambiguous comes to you in one batch.
There is always a handful of transactions only you can identify. You get them together, in your portal, as a short list with context, instead of a stream of one-off emails across the month.
I close the month and review it.
The period gets locked so the history stops moving underneath you, and then I read it. That review is a CPA looking at your business, which is a different act from a bookkeeper confirming the columns add up.
Your statements land, and I tell you what I noticed.
P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow show up in your portal. If something in them is worth a conversation, the margin slipping, a tax move worth making before year-end, a cost quietly growing, you hear from me. That is the part you are really buying.
How the work runs
A licensed CPA on your books, not a hand-off chain.
I am Timothy LeGendre, a CPA licensed in Florida, license #AC62625. Every set of books is reviewed by a CPA every month, and at year-end the person preparing your tax return is already inside your books. There is nothing to hand over and nothing to reconstruct. I am based in Mount Dora, FL and work with clients in Sanford, Lake Mary and the rest of my Central Florida service area.
If you are weighing a bookkeeper-only setup or an online subscription, I wrote up the total annual cost of a CPA vs a bookkeeper, and a side-by-side of the S-Corp bookkeeping services. For local context, see what a CPA costs in Lake County, and if you are weighing doing it yourself, my guide to DIY bookkeeping.
Onboarding is the only part that takes real effort on your side, and it usually takes about a week. I connect your accounts, set up your chart of accounts around how your business actually works, and clean up whatever backlog exists. After that, your financials simply show up every month.
The arrangement is month-to-month with 30 days notice, and the books belong to you. If you ever leave, your ledger leaves with you as standard CSV. I would rather earn the next month than hold anyone with a contract.

I came to Timothy with a last minute request to rush my tax return. He stepped up and made the whole process so easy and efficient! He also ended up getting me a return which I did not expect. Over all Tim is a real professional and great guy.
