Monthly bookkeeping

Dedicated Bookkeeping Support in Washington

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

  • Usually under 30 minutes of your time a month
  • A flat monthly rate, quoted before we start
  • Suspense and uncategorized cleared every month

Contract- and grant-funded organisations make up a large share of what we handle here — subcontractors, associations, nonprofits, consultancies. What they have in common is that their spending has to be explainable by programme or award, not just by expense category.

What's included

What our service covers in Washington

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

Cash flow snapshot

A short view of what came in, what went out and what is committed, so a tight month is visible before it becomes a problem.

Software cost review

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

Onboarding handover

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

Year-end package

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

Document storage

Receipts and statements filed against the transactions they support, so the evidence is there when a lender or an auditor asks.

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…

  • You would rather pay a flat rate than watch an hourly meter
  • You want problems raised during the year, not in January
  • You have never had a real monthly close, only report exports
  • You would like to stop thinking about the books entirely

Reporting by programme, not just by category

A standard profit and loss answers what was spent on. A funded organisation also has to answer what it was spent against, and those are different questions requiring a different structure underneath.

We set the accounts up so both views come out of the same records rather than being reconciled by hand each quarter. Where costs are shared across programmes, the basis of allocation is agreed once and applied consistently, so the figure does not change depending on who prepared it.

Professional services firms and hospitality businesses make up much of the remaining local work, where the requirement is simpler and the monthly close is the whole job.

FAQ

Questions about this service

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

Yes, quoted as a separate one-time project so it does not hold up the monthly service. Plenty of clients start both at the same time.
