Monthly Bookkeeping in Phoenix, Arizona
We keep records CPA-ready all year, so tax time becomes a hand-off rather than a scramble to reconstruct twelve months.
- Suspense and uncategorized cleared every month
- A flat rate agreed before any work starts
- Usually under 30 minutes of your time a month
Trade businesses make up a large share of the work we take on here — contractors, HVAC and electrical firms, landscapers. Crew size moves through the year, and so does payroll. The books that cause trouble are usually the ones treating a summer month and a February month as though they should look the same.
What our service covers in Phoenix
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Account reconciliation
Bank accounts, credit cards, PayPal, Stripe and Square matched line by line to the statement every month.
Budget vs actual
If you work to a budget we report against it, so the variance conversation happens monthly rather than once a year.
Chart of accounts setup
Built around how the business actually earns and spends, rather than the software default, so the reports answer questions you care about.
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.
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 Phoenix businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You want the same person every month rather than a rotating team
- You would rather forward a receipt than learn the software
- You have never had a real monthly close, only report exports
- You use Stripe, Square or PayPal and the payouts confuse the books
Where the numbers usually go wrong
When headcount rises and falls with the season, labour cost stops being a fixed line and becomes the thing that decides whether a job made money. If it is booked as one lump each month, the profitable jobs and the losing ones average into a number that tells you nothing.
We separate labour by job, so the monthly report answers which work paid and which did not. For a contractor running several crews, that is usually the difference between a report worth reading and one that gets filed unopened.
Outpatient clinics and distribution operations are the other two groups we see often in the metro. Both carry costs that a default chart of accounts lumps together, and both benefit from a few extra accounts rather than a few dozen.
