Monthly bookkeeping

Bookkeeping and Monthly Close in Louisville, KY

We keep records CPA-ready all year, so tax time becomes a hand-off rather than a scramble to reconstruct twelve months.

  • A flat monthly rate, quoted before we start
  • Month to month, with no long-term contract
  • Duplicate charges and stale subscriptions raised

Food and beverage producers make up a distinctive share of the local work, and they raise a question most businesses never face: what to do about stock that has to sit for months or years before it can be sold. A default chart of accounts has nowhere sensible to put it.

What's included

What our service covers in Louisville

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

Payroll journal entries

Wages, taxes and employer costs posted from your payroll provider each run, so the profit figure carries the true cost of employment.

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.

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.

Onboarding handover

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

Software cost review

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

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.

Inventory that has to wait

Product ageing in storage is not the same as finished goods ready to ship, and treating them alike overstates what the business could realise if it needed to. The costs of holding it — storage, insurance, losses — also have to go somewhere defensible.

We separate maturing stock from finished goods and agree the treatment of holding costs at the start, so the balance sheet reflects the real position and the treatment does not drift between years.

Logistics and healthcare providers make up much of the rest of the local work, where the pressures are different but the principle is the same: the accounts should match how the business actually runs.

FAQ

Questions about this service

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

No. We work in QuickBooks Online for most clients and in Xero where that is already in place. If your file needs setting up, that is part of onboarding.
