Keep Your Books Current in Detroit, MI
Most owners spend under half an hour a month on this once it is running — a forwarded receipt, an answer about an odd transaction, and nothing else.
- Every transaction categorized, every account reconciled
- A flat rate agreed before any work starts
- Usually under 30 minutes of your time a month
Automotive suppliers, tooling shops and the logistics around them make up much of the local work. They share a hard commercial fact: a few large customers, long payment terms, and no real leverage to change either. That makes receivables timing the number that decides whether a good month is survivable.
What our service covers in Detroit
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Document storage
Receipts and statements filed against the transactions they support, so the evidence is there when a lender or an auditor asks.
Fixed asset register
Purchases that should be capitalized rather than expensed are identified and tracked, so the balance sheet reflects what the business actually owns.
Account reconciliation
Bank accounts, credit cards, PayPal, Stripe and Square matched line by line to the statement every month.
A/R and A/P management
We track what you owe and are owed, and flag invoices drifting past terms before a cash-flow problem shows up in your balance.
Sales tax tracking
We track what has been collected and what is owed for each period and hand the figures to your CPA or preparer. We do not file the returns.
What happens after you get in touch
Only the first step needs anything from you.
Tell us where things stand
A 20-minute call covering your transaction volume, how many accounts are in play and how far behind (if at all) things are. You get a flat monthly rate on that call.
We take over the file
Read-only feeds get connected, the chart of accounts is built or cleaned up, and we agree what belongs in your monthly pack. Roughly a week end to end.
It just runs
Transactions are categorized as they arrive, accounts reconcile monthly, and your reports land by the 10th. When something needs a decision, your bookkeeper calls you.
Why Detroit businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You are a Michigan business with 20 to 1,000 transactions a month
- Your current bookkeeper changes every few months
- You want the same person every month rather than a rotating team
- You want your CPA to stop billing for cleanup first
Profitable and short of cash
A supplier can be genuinely profitable and still unable to make payroll, because the work was delivered in March and paid in June. Profit and cash are different questions and a profit and loss statement answers only one of them.
We report expected receipts by customer alongside the profit figure, so the cash position weeks ahead is visible rather than discovered. For a business with concentrated customers, one account slipping thirty days is the whole problem.
Job costing is the other piece. On long production runs, material and labour committed to work in progress belong on the balance sheet, not in this month's costs.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
We track receivables and payables and flag what is drifting, but we do not send invoices or move money on your behalf. Our access is read-only by design.
