Every bookkeeper sends a P&L. Most owners open it, glance at the bottom line, and close it again, because nobody has ever walked them through what it actually says.
You get your statements by the 15th and a call every month to go through what changed, why it changed, and what we would keep an eye on. That call is included in every plan.
Every month you get
On the same schedule, every time.
Three reasons owners stop opening the file, and what we do differently.
March numbers landing in May are history, not information. By then the decisions they should have shaped have already been made on instinct.
We close by the 10th and deliver by the 15th.
A PDF in an email at midnight tells you gross profit fell four points. It does not tell you whether that was pricing, a supplier increase, or one bad job.
We tell you which, in writing and on a call.
A standard P&L does not show food cost percentage, revenue per billable hour, or margin by channel. Those are the numbers you actually manage against.
We build your reporting around your industry.
What's included
If a franchisor, a lender or an investor needs your numbers in a particular layout, we will help you build the template so it can be produced from your books each period.
We will not produce their report for you, but once the template exists, filling it is straightforward rather than a monthly scramble.
Owners who want to understand the business rather than just file a return, and who are making real decisions about hiring, pricing or expansion in the next year.
Thirty minutes, same time every month, with the person who did the work. Not a portal login, not a dashboard you are left to interpret alone, and not an account manager reading from notes.
We go through what changed and why, what is coming that you should be ready for, and what we would watch. You ask whatever you want. There is no charge for the call and no charge for the questions between calls.
Most of the value clients tell us they get from working with us comes out of these thirty minutes rather than the statements themselves.
Recorded if you want it, so a partner or manager who missed it can catch up.
A report nobody reads is just an expensive PDF.
Which is why the monthly review call is included in every plan rather than sold as an upgrade. If you are paying for reporting, you should understand what you are being told.The same schedule every month, so you know when to expect what.
We reconcile, categorize and chase anything we need from you. You hear from us, not the other way round.
The month is closed, every account tied out, and anything unusual investigated rather than left as a plug.
Statements and the written summary land in your inbox, ahead of the call so you can read them first.
Thirty minutes on the phone to go through it, and whatever you want to ask afterwards.
Statements and the monthly call are included in every plan. What changes between plans is how much detail the reporting carries.
Core statements, the written summary, and the monthly call.
Adds accrual reporting, receivables and payables aging, and industry measures built around your business.
Adds department or location reporting, job or product profitability, and reporting formats for outside parties.
The call is never an add-on. It is in the monthly fee on every plan.
Said up front, so nobody finds out in month three.
Yes, on every plan, and it is not a sales call. It is thirty minutes with the person who prepared your books, going through what the numbers say.
We made it standard because reporting that nobody explains does not change any decisions, and if we charged for it separately most people would skip it and get less value from everything else we do.
Most owners do not, and that is the normal starting point rather than something to apologize for. You built a business, not an accounting degree.
The first few calls tend to be us explaining what each line means for your specific business. After a few months most people are reading the statements before the call and arriving with their own questions.
Yes, and we would encourage it. Decisions get made faster when the people making them heard the same explanation at the same time.
We can record the call if someone cannot make it, so nobody has to rely on a secondhand summary.
Then we tell you plainly and early, which is the entire point. A bad month you understand in week two is a problem you can still act on. The same month discovered at tax time is just a fact.
We will not soften a number to make a call more comfortable.
We agree two or three with you rather than imposing a template. A restaurant usually wants food and labor cost as a percentage of sales. A home care agency wants revenue and margin per billable hour. An online seller wants margin by channel.
Two or three measures you actually use beat twenty you scroll past.
No. Reporting is only as good as the file underneath it, and we are not willing to put our name on an explanation of numbers we did not produce.
If your books are behind or unreliable, cleanup comes first and is quoted separately after a free review.
Twenty minutes on the phone and you'll have a flat quote within a day.
