Commonly Asked Questions
If you have a question not listed please reach out to us!
What happens during the discovery call?
Your discovery call is a no-pressure conversation where we learn about your business, goals, and current accounting setup. We’ll discuss what’s working, what isn’t, and how our services could best support you. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and see if we’re the right fit. By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of next steps and pricing options.
Do you work with businesses outside of our local area?
Yes! While we’re proud to serve our local small business community, we also work with clients across the U.S. using secure, cloud-based systems for accounting, payroll, and tax. Our virtual process allows you to enjoy the same level of personalized service — no matter where your business operates.
What types of businesses do you specialize in?
We work primarily with established small businesses and startups in professional services, construction and trades, and real estate — but we welcome inquiries from other industries as well. Our goal is to partner with business owners who value accurate financials, proactive tax planning, and long-term growth.
How does pricing work?
Our services are offered through simple, all-inclusive monthly packages with no surprise fees or software subscriptions. Each package is designed to match your level of need — from basic bookkeeping to full outsourced accounting and CFO-level support. During your discovery call, we’ll help you choose the best fit and outline exactly what’s included before you make any commitment.
How long does onboarding take?
Onboarding typically takes two to three weeks, depending on the complexity of your systems and the condition of your existing books. During this time, we’ll connect your accounting software, payroll, and bank feeds; complete any cleanup or setup tasks; and walk you through how we’ll communicate and deliver your reports. Once onboarding is complete, you’ll have a smooth, efficient workflow in place — and complete confidence in your financial process.
