Think your books are done? Think again…


Hi Reader,

Ever finish a month-end close and think, “Phew, done!” only to realize later something slipped through the cracks?

You’re not alone. Most bookkeepers think reconciling the accounts means the books are complete. But the truth is… that’s just the Reconciliation Myth.

We created a free guide to help you know exactly what to check before saying last month’s books are closed.

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

  • Spot the areas most bookkeepers miss (so your clients don’t get surprised)
  • Verify that your financial statements actually make sense
  • Streamline your review process so month-end close isn’t so confusing

If you’ve ever worried that your reconciliations look correct... but you’re not 100% sure - this guide is for you.

Let’s make month-end more thorough and complete!

To confident bookkeeping,

Year-end bookkeeping has a way of making even experienced bookkeepers second-guess themselves. Did you get all the W-9s? Does payroll actually tie out? Are those assets coded correctly? What about the loan account? Is the Balance Sheet accurate? And then January arrives…and suddenly you’re trying to find the answers while also trying to get 1099s and year-end work finished. This year, we’re doing it differently. The Year End Bookkeeping Series + Live Work Groups will take you through the...

Hi Reader, When a nonprofit client asks: “Can we use this money?” Suddenly a question that sounds simple… isn’t. Because now you’re thinking about: Donor restrictions. Grant requirements. Programs. Reporting. How it was set up in QuickBooks. What the CPA will expect later. And whether the decision you make today is going to create a mess six months from now. If you’ve ever thought: “I know bookkeeping. Why do I suddenly feel like I don’t know what I’m doing?” That’s exactly why we created...
