You didn't start a business to spend your weekends on accounting.
BOOKKEEPING · PAYROLL · TAX
Bookkeeping, payroll, and tax for small businesses and the people who run them. Clean books. Filed returns. The accounting team you'd hire if you had time to hire one.
Built for businesses like yours.
WHO WE HELP
A solo photographer juggling invoices between shoots. A chiropractor with a growing practice and payroll to match. A real estate investor buying their first rental, or on their fiftieth flip. An HVAC company with a crew and subcontractors to pay. Different businesses, but the same frustrations: the books aren't right, the taxes feel like a surprise, and the accountant doesn't get it.
We think your accountant should know your business, not just your books.
CONSULTANTS, COACHES, PRACTITIONERS
Service-based professionals.
Whether you're a solo photographer or a growing chiropractic practice, the hardest part usually isn't the work — it's not knowing if the business is actually profitable. We keep the books clean so you can stay focused on what you do best.
RENTALS, FLIPS, SHORT-TERM
Real estate investors
Whether you own one rental or a portfolio spread across multiple LLCs and states, the bookkeeping has a way of becoming a full-time job on its own. We keep everything clean so you can focus on the next deal, not last year's mess.
GCS, TRADES, HOME SERVICES
Contractors and trades
Whether you're a one-truck plumbing company or a general contractor with a crew of subs, your time belongs on the job site, not in spreadsheets. We keep the accounting done so you can focus on bidding that next project.
Not seeing yourself here? These are examples, not a fence. If you run a small business in Michigan - restaurant, retail, nonprofit, or something we couldn't have guessed - book a call and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.
WHAT WE DO
Most small businesses end up with a bookkeeper who doesn't know their payroll, a payroll service that doesn't know their books, and a tax preparer who they only talk to once a year. We're built differently — a team that handles everything, so nothing falls through the cracks and nobody's starting from scratch when it matters most.
One firm. Books, payroll, taxes. Everything accounting.
Transactions classified, accounts reconciled. Your books, closed and current.
Whether you need ongoing monthly support or just need to get caught up before tax season… We'll find the right level of support for where you are.
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $300/mo (typical $300–$550), or $300 + $125/property for real estate investors. Cleanup and annual books are quoted after call.
Monthly Bookkeeping
A monthly close that keeps your books accurate, current, and never a surprise at tax time.
Bank, credit card, & loans reconciled
Transactions accurately categorized
Financial statements, monthly or optional
Direct access to your bookkeeper.
Tax-Ready Bookkeeping, done.
Cleanup/Catch-up
Books a mess or just behind? We'll sort it out, clean it up, and get you back on track, ready for monthly service or tax time.
Rebuild months or years of records
Bank & credit card accounts up to date
Loans tied out to their ending balances
Delivered clean and tax-ready.
Annual Bookkeeping
Once a year, clean and complete. A full set of books for the smaller business that doesn't need monthly support.
Full-year categorization & reconciliation
End of year bank reconciliation
Year-end P&L and balance sheet
Delivered clean and tax-ready
Employees paid, filings submitted. The deadlines, the multi-state stuff — we've got it.
Already using Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, ADP, or Paychex? We'll oversee it. Want to hand it off entirely? We'll run it in-house. Either way, your team gets paid right and the filings are done on time.
Starting from $125/mo.

HOW WE GET STARTED
Switching accountants sounds like a hassle. We've made it painless. Here's exactly what happens between "let's talk" and "your books just run."
Discovery Call
A real conversation, no sales pitch.
Fill out a short questionnaire and book a call. We'll talk through your business - how it makes money, what's working, and where the books or payroll are giving you headaches. From there, we'll match you to the right mix of bookkeeping, payroll, and tax, and send a quote. No pressure, no guesswork.
Clean Slate
We start from numbers you can trust.
Most businesses come to us a little behind, or carrying a few years of mess - that's normal. Before any monthly work begins, we get you current: accounts reconciled, transactions categorized right, balances tied out. You start from books that are actually accurate, not a question mark.
Up & Running
One team, all year.
From there, we keep your books closed monthly, run your payroll, and keep you current - no year-end surprises. And because the same team knows your numbers all year long, your tax return isn't a scramble at tax time. It's just the next step. Nothing falls through the cracks.
