Books behind? Here's how I can fix that.

I help Bay Area small businesses with bookkeeping — done for you, no jargon, no judgment.

- Monthly bookkeeping from $249/mo — reconciliation, P&L, everything kept clean
- Backlog cleanup: $250 per month caught up ($500 minimum)
- QuickBooks setup: $499
- One-on-one QuickBooks training: $95/hr

Your first 20-minute call is free. We'll look at where your books stand and map out the fix — no pressure either way.

If tax time has been a scramble every year, this is your off-ramp. Message the page to get started.

Here's a free AI habit that makes bookkeeping easier.

Every Friday, take a photo of the week's receipts and ask an AI tool: "sort these into business expense categories and flag anything that looks personal." It takes minutes — and you stop dreading a shoebox of receipts at tax time.

Two ground rules though:
1. Review every suggestion before it touches your books — AI can misfile things.
2. Keep the originals. The IRS cares about real records, not AI summaries.

The real win is consistency: receipts captured weekly mean clean books at month-end, and clean books mean you actually know what your business made.

Tax season is made in October, not April.

If your business income has grown this year, check that you've paid enough estimated tax — underpaying can mean interest and penalties come January. A quick year-to-date check now beats a painful surprise later.

Also: start your 2026 deduction folder today. Mileage log, home office receipts, contractor payments — everything in one place. Digging through a year's worth of emails in March is nobody's idea of fun.

Clean books through December mean a calm tax filing. I help Bay Area small businesses with bookkeeping and QuickBooks setup. If your books are behind, message the page — the first 20-minute call is free.

Stop running your business finances on guesswork.

I packed 51 of my bookkeeping and finance tools into one bundle — The Accountant's Ultimate Toolkit: budget planners, cash flow forecasters, tax checklists, invoice trackers, payroll sheets, and more. $830 worth of tools for $49, and code LAUNCH20 takes another 20% off.

These are the same kinds of spreadsheets and checklists I use when helping Bay Area small businesses with their bookkeeping.

Stop typing the same bills into QuickBooks every month.

Rent, utilities, software subscriptions — set them up once as Recurring Transactions (under the Vendors menu) and QuickBooks posts them automatically. Ten minutes of setup, zero missed entries, and a cleaner P&L every month.

Most business owners I talk to glance at their bank balance and think they know how the month went.

The bank balance doesn't tell you what you actually earned — or what you spent. A profit & loss report does, in about 30 seconds.

Here's how I read one: start with the top line (what came in), subtract your expenses (what went out), and the number at the bottom is the truth. If expenses are growing faster than income month after month, that's your warning light — and you saw it months before the bank account felt it.

A clean P&L each month is the difference between guessing and knowing.

I help Bay Area small businesses with bookkeeping — monthly books, clean reports, no surprises. Message the page if you want to see what yours really says.

Running your business without looking at the numbers is like driving with your eyes closed.

One simple habit that saves my clients a lot of stress: match your bank balance to your books every Friday. Ten minutes. When the two agree, you know your records are solid and nothing is slipping through the cracks.

It's the little things that trip people up — a forgotten subscription, a double charge, a payment that never got recorded. Catching them weekly means tax time is boring instead of scary.

I'm Thierry — I help Bay Area small businesses with bookkeeping, so you always know where your money is going.

Follow along for more simple money habits.
