Frequently Asked Questions
Everything owners ask before booking a discovery call. Still have a question? Email hello@booksreadynow.com.
How can you really do 12 months of bookkeeping in 3 business days?
Two things. First, we use Kick — an AI-powered accounting ledger that auto-categorizes ~90% of transactions on import using our 60+ standard vendor rules. What takes a manual bookkeeper 20+ hours, we do in 3. Second, we have a tight 7-phase SOP we run on every engagement — categorization, reconciliation, adjusting entries, anomaly QA, delivery — all front-loaded into a focused 3-day sprint.
What if my books are a complete mess and need cleanup beyond the past year?
We quote cleanup separately. After your discovery call, if we determine the prior-year work is significant, we provide a separate fixed quote ($750/prior year is typical). We won't blend it into the year-end fee — that keeps our 3-day delivery commitment honest.
What's included in the deliverable?
A complete tax-ready financial package: P&L (annual + by month), balance sheet, trial balance, general ledger, cash flow statement, 1099 vendor list, depreciation schedule for your CPA's review, and a branded CPA Handoff Package PDF that your accountant can drop straight into their workpapers.
Do I have to switch from QuickBooks to Kick?
No. For the engagement, we use Kick on our side — you don't need to learn anything or change your tooling. We deliver the financials as PDFs and (optionally) as a clean QBO export if you want to continue with QuickBooks afterward.
Who actually does the work?
Ryan Harwell, the founder, personally delivers every engagement in 2026. As we grow, vetted contract bookkeepers will join — all working under the same standardized SOP. You'll always know who's on your account.
What happens if you miss the 3-business-day delivery?
We've never missed (and we plan to keep it that way). But if we ever do — for any reason on our end — we refund 25% of your engagement fee per business day late, up to 100%. The speed promise is the brand. We back it.
Do you work with my CPA, or do I have to coordinate?
We work directly with your CPA if you'd like — we'll email them the handoff package on your behalf and field any clarifying questions they have. Or we just send the package to you and you forward it. Your call.
What entities and tax structures do you support?
Sole proprietorships, single-member LLCs, multi-member LLCs, S-corps, and C-corps. We do not currently support partnerships with complex K-1 structures or businesses with international tax exposure — for those, your CPA's specialty is what you need, and we'd refer out.
Where are you located?
Books Ready Now LLC is registered in Georgia. We serve solo and small business owners nationwide — all engagements are fully remote.
Can I see a sample of the deliverable before I commit?
Yes. Book a 15-min discovery call and we'll walk you through a redacted sample CPA Handoff Package live. No commitment required.
