Our Approach to Managed Accounting

Our seamless 4-step process ensures predictable, accurate, and timely financial results.

01
Onboarding & Systems Setup
Your Part: Provide the required onboarding information and grant access to your accounting system (e.g., QuickBooks Online) and other key financial platforms.
Our Part: We'll configure your accounting environment, validate system integrations, and establish a seamless flow of financial data across your technology stack, ensuring an efficient and accurate accounting process from day one.
02
Clean-up & Historical Data
Your Part: Confirm your preferred approach so we can balance historical clean-up with your desired reporting timeline.
Our Part: If historical bookkeeping clean-up is required, we will first allocate your monthly retainer hours toward the clean-up, which may impact the timeline for the current month's close. If you prefer to stay on schedule, we can expedite the clean-up by assigning additional resources under a separate scope and fee.
03
Weekly Review & Reconciliation
Your Part: Provide the requested supporting documentation in a timely manner to ensure accurate categorization and a smooth month-end close.
Our Part: We'll review and categorize your bank and credit card transactions weekly to keep your books accurate and up to date. We'll also proactively request supporting documentation for any uncategorized or unclear transactions to prevent month-end backlogs.
04
Month-End Close & Delivery
Your Part: Provide timely responses, supporting documentation, and confirmation on any outstanding items to enable an accurate and timely month-end close.
Our Part: We will perform a complete month-end close, including bank and credit card reconciliations, accruals, adjusting entries, and final account reviews. Upon completion, we will prepare and deliver a comprehensive Management Report—including the Profit & Loss Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement—by the 15th of the following month through a secure shared location.
