Steady, Accurate Books for Service-Based Businesses — Without the Chaos
Tired of dreading your bank reconciliation, scrambling every tax season, or wondering if your business is actually profitable? You're not alone — and you don't have to keep guessing.
With 25+ years of accounting and operations experience, I help service-based businesses — from consulting firms to skilled trades — keep their books accurate on a reliable, scheduled cycle, so you always know exactly where your business stands. No fire drills, no guesswork — just clean books, delivered on time, every time.
I've also spent over 25 years working as a small business consultant and coach — so I don't just reconcile your accounts, I bring a holistic view of how your finances connect to the rest of your business.
I keep my client roster small and deliberately limited — a handful of businesses at a time, so every set of books gets real attention.
Why Work With Me?
Why Service-Based Businesses Choose Ledger Bookkeeping Co
Real Expertise You Can Lean On
25+ years of experience across accounting, corporate operations, and service-based business finance — including roles as VP of Sales & Business Development and General Manager of a fully remote law firm. Whether you bill by the project, the retainer, or the job, I understand the financial patterns that make service businesses different from retail or product-based companies.
Accuracy First
Every transaction reconciled, every report double-checked. Your financial records are always audit-ready and up to date.
A Predictable Process
I work on a structured monthly cycle, not real-time requests. That means I stays focused on your books — not constantly switching gears — which means fewer errors and faster turnaround.
Clear Communication
You'll always know what's needed from you and when. Document requests, deadlines, and deliverables are spelled out from day one — no surprises, no scrambling.
More Than Numbers
Since 2001, I've worked as a small business consultant and coach alongside my bookkeeping practice. That means I'm not just watching your transactions — I'm thinking about cash flow, pricing, and profitability the way a business advisor would, not just a data-entry person.
How We Work Together
I believe great bookkeeping runs on rhythm, not reaction. Here's what that looks like:
Monthly Cycle — Documents are due by the 5th of each month; your financial reports are delivered by the 15th. This rhythm keeps your books accurate and your bookkeeper focused on getting it right.
Email-First Communication — Questions and updates are handled by email with a 1–2 business day response time. This keeps a clear written record and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.
Scheduled Calls — Need to talk it through? I'm happy to hop on a call — just grab a time on my calendar.
This structure isn't about being unavailable — it's about giving your books the focused attention they deserve, every single month.
What I Do
Monthly Bookkeeping & Reconciliation
Accurate, reconciled books and clear financial reports — delivered on the same dependable schedule every month, whether your revenue comes from retainers, projects, or completed jobs.
Payroll Processing
Accurate, on-time payroll and tax filing for your team and 1099 contractors — handled correctly the first time.
Cleanup
Behind on your books and dreading the catch-up? It's more common than you'd think, especially for businesses that have been heads-down growing the work rather than the back office.
