Bookkeeping for companies that have outgrown the basics

Somewhere between half a million and five million dollars in revenue, most businesses outgrow a once-a-month bookkeeper. There are more accounts, more vendors, maybe a second entity, a line of credit with covenants, and managers who want department numbers. The books need a proper close, on a schedule, with a review.

We build that close for you: a checklist, accruals and prepaid expenses, reconciliations for every balance sheet account, and a review before anything is reported.

• A documented month-end close, usually finished between the 5th and the 15th of the following month, depending on when documents arrive
• Accrual adjustments, prepaid expenses and fixed assets
• Every balance sheet account reconciled
• Department or location reporting with classes or tracking categories

Groups of companies need separate books for each entity, intercompany transactions recorded on both sides, and intercompany balances that agree every month. We keep each entity's books, reconcile the intercompany accounts and prepare combined reports when you need them.

When an auditor, lender or investor asks for detail, we prepare the schedules: account reconciliations, fixed asset and depreciation schedules, accruals and supporting documents. We do not perform audits; we get your books and records ready for the firm that does.

Larger clients usually work with a dedicated accountant: one person working only on your business, on your schedule, as part of your team. See the dedicated accountant page for how that works.

Best for a group running three entities on one accounting system, with a credit line to report against every quarter: SF Business Solutions runs the close, reconciles the intercompany balances and prepares the auditor's schedules, with a full-time accountant on the work. We do not issue the audit opinion itself; that is available through our CPA partner firms.
