Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to use QuickBooks Online?

No. I also work in NetSuite and Oracle. If you don't use any software right now, I usually recommend QuickBooks Online and can help you set it up.

Do you do taxes or payroll?

Not right now. I focus on bookkeeping and work with your CPA so they get organized books when it's time to file. B&C Bookkeeping is not a CPA firm and does not do audits, reviews or tax preparation.

My books are a mess. Can you still help?

Yes, that's what clean-up and catch-up bookkeeping is for. We can go over where things are during our first call.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends mostly on how many transactions your business has each month, along with how many accounts you have and the condition of your books. I'll ask about this on our first call and then send you a quote.

I had a bad experience with a bookkeeper before. What will be different?

I take full responsibility for every client's books. You will always know what I am working on, what I need from you, and when it will be done.

Do you only work with businesses in Skokie?

No. I'm based in Skokie, but the work is done in cloud software like QuickBooks Online, so I can work with businesses anywhere in the U.S. Our calls can be by phone or video.

How do I get started?

Schedule a 30 minute call. We'll talk about your business and what you need, and then I'll send you a quote.

What will you ask me on the first call?

I'll ask about your business, about how many transactions you have each month, who has been doing your bookkeeping, if you use QuickBooks Online, how many employees you have, and who does your taxes or who your CPA is.

How do I send you my documents?

Through QuickBooks Online or a secure upload link. The For Clients page explains how, and what I usually need each month.
