Bookkeeping Services in Philadelphia, PA
We keep records CPA-ready all year, so tax time becomes a hand-off rather than a scramble to reconstruct twelve months.
- Month to month, with no long-term contract
- A second reviewer before anything reaches you
- Thirty days notice and the books are yours
The local business base is long-established, and that shows in the books we take over. Healthcare practices, food businesses, trades and suppliers, many of them decades old, carrying accounting habits that accumulated one decision at a time and were never written down.
What our service covers in Philadelphia
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Software cost review
Subscriptions accumulate quietly. We surface what is being charged and let you decide what is still earning its place.
Owner-friendly reporting
A profit and loss, a balance sheet and a short written note on what moved and why. The note is usually what owners read first.
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.
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.
Monthly close
A real close — balances checked against source documents, suspense cleared, statements confirmed to tie — not just a report export.
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 Philadelphia businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You want records your CPA can use without a cleanup first
- You would rather pay a flat rate than watch an hourly meter
- You want a predictable monthly cost rather than an hourly bill
- Transactions have grown past what a spreadsheet can hold
Years of accumulated habits
Old books are rarely wrong so much as idiosyncratic. A category that means something specific to whoever set it up. An adjustment made every December that nobody can now explain. It functions until someone has to reproduce it.
We work out what the existing treatment is and record it before changing anything, because the conventions are usually reasonable and the knowledge behind them is the fragile part.
Where something does need to change, it changes at a period boundary with a note, so last year and this year remain comparable.
