Monthly bookkeeping

Monthly Bookkeeping Services in Milwaukee

Bookkeeping stops being a chore when somebody owns it. We categorize transactions as they land, reconcile every account monthly and tell you what moved.

  • Read-only access — we never move money
  • Invoices drifting past terms flagged early
  • Plain-English summary of what changed

Manufacturers make up much of the local work — industrial equipment, machinery, food and beverage production. They carry raw material, work in progress and finished goods at the same time, and a default chart of accounts collapses all three into one line that hides more than it reports.

What's included

What our service covers in Milwaukee

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

Payment processor matching

Stripe, Square and PayPal pay out net of fees. We match payouts to the underlying sales and book the fees separately so revenue is not understated.

Bank feed management

Feeds connected read-only and the rules reviewed as they age, because a rule written a year ago quietly miscodes for months once a supplier changes.

Year-end package

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

Transaction categorization

A chart of accounts built around how your business actually earns and spends, coded consistently so month-on-month comparisons mean something.

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.

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…

Three kinds of inventory, one account

Raw material, part-built work and finished goods behave completely differently. Raw material can usually be redeployed. Work in progress cannot. Finished goods can be sold tomorrow. Reported as a single number, that difference disappears — and it is precisely the difference a lender or a buyer asks about.

We separate them so the balance sheet reflects what the business could actually realise, and so a build-up in one category is visible before it becomes a cash problem.

Healthcare providers and trades make up much of the rest of the local work, where the pressures differ but the principle holds: the accounts should match how the business runs.

Questions about this service

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