Why So Fast
Why we deliver in 3 days, not 3 weeks.
We use Kick (AI-powered ledger) instead of QuickBooks for year-end engagements — categorization that takes 20 hours, takes 3.
60+ standard vendor rules applied to every engagement on day one.
AI anomaly QA pass on every general ledger before delivery — catches duplicates, miscategorizations, and out-of-place balances.
Standardized 7-phase SOP — same process, every client, every time.
Who It's For
Built for cash-basis service businesses.
Solo owner-operators and small teams who don't need $500/month bookkeeping — just one clean year, done fast, that your CPA can file from.
Professional services
Attorneys, marketing & creative, HR consultants, recruiters, real estate agents — experts who bill for their work.
Medical & wellness practices
Dental, veterinary, chiropractic, and similar practices run by their owner.
A year (or more) behind
Haven't touched the books since January — maybe longer. No judgment. That's our specialty.
Tax deadline is closing in
Your CPA is asking for clean financials and the extension clock is ticking.
Not the right fit: businesses on accrual basis, businesses that track inventory, or businesses that need invoicing and accounts-receivable support. For those, a monthly bookkeeper is the better answer.
Common Questions
The five things everyone asks first.
How much does catch-up bookkeeping cost?
A full year starts at $2,000 — that covers up to 1,000 transactions, one company on cash basis, and up to two financial accounts. More transactions, additional accounts, or added complexity increase the price, and every quote is customized to your specific business on your free discovery call. Additional prior years are typically $750 each. No hourly billing, no surprises.
How can you really do 12 months of bookkeeping in 3 business days?
We use Kick, an AI-powered ledger that auto-categorizes ~90% of transactions on import using our 60+ standard vendor rules, then run a tight 7-phase process — categorization, reconciliation, adjusting entries, anomaly QA, delivery — as one focused sprint.
What if my books are a complete mess?
Messy is normal here — most clients arrive a year or more behind. We scope everything on the discovery call and quote prior-year cleanup separately, so the flat fee stays honest and the 3-day promise holds.
Do I have to switch software or learn anything new?
No. We handle everything on our side with our own software. You receive finished PDFs plus a CPA Handoff Package with all the reports your accountant needs for tax prep. You never log into anything or learn any software.
Who do you work with — and who is not a fit?
We work with cash-basis service businesses run by a solo owner or small team — professional services like legal, marketing, HR, consulting, and recruiting, plus medical practices like dental, veterinary, and chiropractic. We're not the right fit for accrual-basis businesses, inventory tracking, or businesses that need invoicing and accounts-receivable support.
