Bookkeeper on subscription · From $750/mo
Your books, closed by the 10th. Every month.
A seasoned bookkeeper running your QuickBooks, Xero, or Wave. Reconciled accounts, clean categorization, AP and AR that don’t sit, and a year-end hand-off your CPA actually likes.

Identity-verified and criminal-background-checked. Access scoped to what the work requires, logged, revocable.
10th
Of every month is when your prior-month close lands on your desk. P&L, balance sheet, cash on hand.
If your books are behind, your reports are unreliable, or you’re just done being the one who deals with it, this is what the first 30 days look like when someone skilled takes it off your plate.
Your 30-day timeline starts at your kickoff call. We’ll get that scheduled as soon as you’re ready.
A real schedule, not a sales deck.
Day 1
Kickoff call + a book audit.
Your matched bookkeeper, your account manager, and you. Read-only access to QuickBooks, Xero, or Wave, a 30-minute walk-through, and a written audit by end of day: what’s reconciled, what’s not, what’s miscategorized, where AR is sitting.
Day 3
Catch-up reconcile, the boring part done.
Bank and credit-card accounts reconciled to the prior month-end. Categorization fixed in the chart you already use, no rebuild, no “we don’t work that way.” Anything ambiguous comes back as a short list of yes/no questions.
Day 10
First clean P&L on your desk.
P&L, balance sheet, cash on hand for the prior month: same three reports you’ll get every month after. Delivered with a short note that flags anything weird without you having to scroll for it.
Day 30
Monthly close on a calendar.
Standing AP and AR rhythm. Bills paid on terms, invoices out the door, slow payers gently chased. By month two, you have a financial system that runs on its own rhythm. The close happens, the reports land, and you only hear from your bookkeeper when something actually needs you.
No contracts. Cancel anytime. Book a discovery call to get started.
The actual comparison
Not the $5/hr VA tier. The $60-80k hire tier.
A senior bookkeeper, on retainer, for what you’d spend on a junior in-house hire. Minus the months of recruiting and the year of management.
In-house full-time hire
$60-80k / yr
- ~9 weeks to hire
- Plus benefits, software, training
- You manage them, week to week
- Loses a week if they quit

Your account manager
A dedicated account manager. The person you actually call.
Every account has a dedicated account manager, separate from your bookkeeper. They run the kickoff, own the match, and are the person you reach if something needs to be rematched, escalated, or just sanity-checked. Every assignment has a quality bar. You aren’t the one chasing it.
Same person, every month. No round-robin queue. No swapping out the contact after onboarding. The match you meet on day one is the match running the work on day two hundred.

Real reviewers. Real names. Real dates.
“Her work has taken a huge load off my mind, allowing me to focus on other important tasks. The peace of mind I have gained from her support is invaluable.”
