Monthly bookkeeping

Small Business Bookkeeping in Kansas City, MO

Flat monthly rate, month to month, no contract. If it stops being worth it, you give us 30 days and take a complete set of books with you.

  • Records your CPA can use without a cleanup first
  • Month to month, with no long-term contract
  • The same dedicated bookkeeper every month

Engineering and architecture practices are a distinctive part of the local work, alongside freight and manufacturing. Practices bill by phase, which means the invoice date and the date the work was actually earned are rarely the same — and books that ignore the difference report the wrong month, every month.

What's included

What our service covers in Kansas City

Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.

Suspense and uncategorized clearing

Anything we cannot identify is queued for you rather than guessed at, and cleared before the month closes instead of accumulating.

Year-end package

Because the books are correct every month, tax time is a clean hand-off to your CPA rather than a project.

Software cost review

Subscriptions accumulate quietly. We surface what is being charged and let you decide what is still earning its place.

Onboarding handover

Roughly a week to connect feeds, build or clean the chart of accounts and agree what belongs in your monthly pack.

Quarterly review call

A longer conversation each quarter about what the trend shows, rather than only the month just closed.

How it runs

What happens after you get in touch

Only the first step needs anything from you.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

Good fit

This is a good fit if…

  • You are a Missouri business with 20 to 1,000 transactions a month
  • You want a predictable monthly cost rather than an hourly bill
  • You want your CPA to stop billing for cleanup first
  • You are ready to hand the books over entirely

Billing dates are not earning dates

A practice might invoice a third on appointment, a third at a milestone and the balance on completion. None of those dates has much to do with when the work was done. Recording revenue when the invoice goes out produces a profit figure that lurches for reasons unconnected to activity.

We recognise revenue against progress rather than billing where the engagement warrants it, so the monthly report tracks work actually performed.

Freight and manufacturing make up much of the rest of the local work, where the equivalent discipline is costing at the load or the run rather than the month.

FAQ

Questions about this service

Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.

A profit and loss, a balance sheet, and a short written note on what moved and why. The note is the part most owners read.
