Hand Over the Books in Sacramento, California
You should not have to chase your own books. We close them on a schedule and send a short note on what changed, in language that does not need decoding.
- A short written note on what moved and why
- The same dedicated bookkeeper every month
- CPA-ready records at year end
A good number of the businesses we support here hold public-sector contracts, and that changes what the books have to do. It is no longer enough for the totals to be right — the supporting detail has to stand up to someone else's review, sometimes long after the work was finished.
What our service covers in Sacramento
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.
CPA liaison
Your CPA gets what they need directly from us at year end, which is usually faster than routing every question through you.
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.
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.
Software cost review
Subscriptions accumulate quietly. We surface what is being charged and let you decide what is still earning its place.
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 Sacramento businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You want the same person every month rather than a rotating team
- You want records your CPA can use without a cleanup first
- You want problems raised during the year, not in January
- You want your CPA to stop billing for cleanup first
Books that survive somebody else's review
Commercial invoicing is forgiving. A contract-funded engagement is not: spending usually has to be attributable to a specific agreement, and the documentation has to still be findable when someone asks about it two years later.
We set the accounts up so that attribution happens at entry rather than being reconstructed on demand, and we keep the supporting records attached to the transactions rather than in a separate folder that drifts out of sync.
Healthcare providers and food businesses make up much of the rest of the local work. Different sectors, same underlying requirement — the records have to answer questions asked by people outside the business.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
We chase once, then close what we can and flag what is outstanding. Nothing gets silently guessed at to hit the date.
