Behind on your books? Free catch-up assessment — no obligation.
Books kept, reconciled and closed monthly inside Sage.
Every owner we speak to knows the books matter. They also have a business to run, and the admin loses that fight most weeks. The cost is not the admin itself — it is making decisions on numbers you do not fully trust.
The specifics, rather than a bullet list you have to interpret.
You are assigned one bookkeeper who owns your account. They learn your vendors, your customers and the handful of quirks every business has. You never re-explain the business to a new face, and you always know exactly who to call.
We do not wait for year end. Transactions are categorized as they land, accounts are reconciled monthly, and anything that looks wrong gets raised while it is still cheap to fix rather than eleven months later.
Your monthly pack is a profit and loss, a balance sheet and a plain-English note on what changed and why. No jargon, no forty-page PDF you will never open.
Books are kept to a standard your CPA, your bank or an investor can pick up without a cleanup project first. When someone asks for documentation, it already exists.
Plenty of firms only work in QuickBooks and treat Sage as somebody else's problem. We do the same monthly work in Sage — transactions coded, accounts reconciled, books closed on a schedule you can plan around.
If you already run Sage, there is no migration to sit through and no argument about switching. We work in the system you have.
Cleanup of an existing Sage file that has drifted, catch-up work if you are months behind, and a second pair of eyes when the numbers stop matching the bank.
We are an independent bookkeeping firm. Sage is a registered trademark of The Sage Group plc, and we are not affiliated with them.
No ambiguity about what you are paying for. These are the artifacts, and when each one arrives.
Only the first step needs anything from you.
Twenty minutes on where your books stand, how many accounts are involved and what you actually need. You leave with a flat rate, whether or not you hire us.
Read-only access to your bank, card and accounting file. We configure or clean up the chart of accounts and agree what your monthly pack should contain.
From there it runs. Books close by the 10th, reports land in your inbox, and your bookkeeper is a phone call away when something comes up.
If that is you, say so on the call. We would rather point you somewhere better than take on work we are not the right firm for.
The honest trade-offs. Plenty of businesses are better off with one of the other two.
| With Feather | Doing it yourself | Hiring in-house | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | A named bookkeeper who knows your account | You, at 11pm | An employee you recruit, train and cover |
| What it costs | A flat monthly rate agreed up front | Software fees plus your own time | Salary, payroll taxes, benefits, software |
| When books close | By the 10th, every month | When you get to it | Depends on the hire |
| Cover when someone is away | A second reviewer already knows the account | Nothing gets done | Work stops or you scramble |
| At tax time | A CPA-ready package, already prepared | Reconstructing the year from statements | Varies with experience |
Whichever service you pick, the same bookkeeper handles your account every month — someone who understands how your business actually runs and can spot the things a rotating team never would.
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
Most clients go from the first call to their first closed month in about six days. If there is a backlog to clear first, we scope that separately so it never blocks the monthly work starting.
We work remotely nationwide. These pages cover the metros we are asked about most.
Most clients combine two or three. The flat rate covers whatever you pick.
Tell us where things stand and we'll show you exactly what sage bookkeeping would look like for your business — with a flat rate and a start date in 20 minutes.
