Bookkeeping That Keeps Up With Your Business
Accurate, reconciled books every month -- handled by a local team you can actually call.
Stop Letting 'Later' Pile Up
Reliable Bookkeeping Services For Your Small Business
Running a small business means your time is already split a dozen different ways, and bookkeeping is usually the first thing that gets pushed to "I'll do it later."
The problem is, "later" turns into a shoebox of receipts and a checking account that doesn't match what's in your books.
Our bookkeeping service keeps your records accurate and current every month -- so you always know where your business stands, and you're never scrambling when tax season rolls around.
the scope
What's Included
Every month, we handle the accounting and reporting work that keeps your books accurate:
01. Monthly Bookkeeping & Reconciliation
We record your transactions and reconcile your accounts on a regular schedule, so your books reflect what's actually happening in your business -- not what you think happened three months ago.
02. Income & Expense Tracking
Every dollar in and out gets categorized correctly. This matters more than it sounds like it would — clean categorization is what makes your financial statements useful and your tax return accurate.
03. Bank & Credit Card Reconciliations
We match your bookkeeping records against your actual bank and credit card statements, catching errors, duplicate charges, or missed transactions before they become bigger problems.
04. Financial Statement Preparation
Every month, you'll get profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and financial reports that show you how your business is actually doing, not just numbers for the sake of having numbers, but information you can actually use to make decisions.
05. Accounting Software Setup & Support
If you're starting fresh or switching platforms, we help you get set up correctly from day one. And if you're already using accounting software but it's a mess, we can help untangle it.
06. Year-End Financial Reporting for Tax Preparation
At year-end, your books are organized and ready to hand off for tax preparation — whether that's with us or another preparer.
why it matters
One Firm, Your Whole Financial Picture
A lot of bookkeeping services operate separately from tax preparation -- which means at the end of the year, your bookkeeper hands off a file to a CPA or tax preparer who's seeing your business for the first time.
If something doesn't add up, or a question comes up about how a transaction was categorized, you're often stuck relaying messages between two people who've never talked to each other.
At United Accountants, your bookkeeping and your tax preparation come from the same team.
The person reconciling your accounts in October is working from the same records -- and often the same understanding of your business -- as the person preparing your return in April.
Nothing gets lost in translation, and nothing gets re-explained from scratch.
For business owners who've dealt with the back-and-forth of separate bookkeeping and tax providers, this is one less thing to manage.

Bookkeeping Services FAQ's
What's included in bookkeeping services?
At minimum, ongoing bookkeeping should include recording transactions, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, and producing financial statements. At United Accountants, it also includes software setup support and year-end reporting that's ready to hand off for tax preparation.
Do you provide financial reports and statements?
Yes. As part of your monthly bookkeeping, you'll get profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and other financial reports that show you how your business is actually doing, not just numbers for the sake of having numbers.
Do I need a bookkeeper or an accountant?
A bookkeeper handles the day-to-day recording and reconciling of your finances. An accountant typically works at a higher level -- tax strategy, financial analysis, and filing returns. Many small businesses need both, which is why we offer bookkeeping and tax preparation under one roof.
How much does bookkeeping cost?
Bookkeeping services start at $200 per month, which covers monthly reconciliation, transaction tracking, and financial statement preparation. Software setup and year-end reporting are included as part of the service.
