Monthly Sage Bookkeeping in Atlanta, Georgia
Bookkeeping for Atlanta companies on Sage, handled by the same bookkeeper every month at a flat rate agreed before we start.
- The same dedicated bookkeeper each month
- A flat monthly rate, quoted before we start
- Ledgers reconciled and closed every month
Freight brokerage and production services shape much of the Sage work locally, and both run on jobs rather than months. A load, a shoot, a campaign — each carries its own costs and its own margin, and the calendar month it happens to fall in is close to irrelevant.
What our service covers in Atlanta
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Transaction coding
Every line categorized against a chart of accounts built around how your Atlanta business actually earns and spends, coded the same way each month so comparisons hold.
Supplier and customer ledgers
Aged payables and receivables kept current, so what you are owed and what you owe are numbers you can act on rather than estimates.
Bank and card reconciliation
Each account matched to the statement monthly, with differences investigated and explained rather than quietly absorbed into a suspense account.
Cleanup and catch-up
If the Sage file has drifted or you are months behind, we quote that separately as one-time work so it never holds up the monthly service.
Monthly close
Balances checked against source documents, control accounts cleared and statements confirmed to tie before anything reaches you.
What happens after you get in touch
Only the first step needs anything from you.
Tell us what you are running
A short call covering which Sage product you use, your Atlanta transaction volume and how many accounts are involved. You get a flat monthly rate on that call.
We pick up the file
Access is set up, the chart of accounts is reviewed and tidied where it needs it, and we agree what belongs in your monthly pack. Usually about a week.
It runs monthly
Transactions are coded as they arrive, ledgers reconcile each month, and your reports land on schedule. When something needs a decision, your bookkeeper calls.
Why Atlanta businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You want the same bookkeeper every month, not a rotating team
- Your ledgers have drifted from what the bank actually says
- Your Georgia business already runs on Sage and intends to stay there
- You are months behind and want a plan rather than a lecture
Money that passes through rather than belongs to you
Freight brokers here handle a great deal of money that was never theirs. Carrier payments collected from a shipper and passed on are not revenue, and recording the gross figure as income inflates the top line dramatically while leaving margin unchanged.
It matters more than a presentational quibble. A business that reports gross looks several times larger than one reporting net, which affects how a lender reads it, what a broker believes about their own growth, and any comparison against another operator.
We agree the treatment against how the contracts are actually written — whether you carry the risk on the carrier leg — and apply it consistently, because switching basis between years makes the whole trend unreadable.
