Who we serve
The books look different in every industry. So does the way we close them.
The mechanics are the same everywhere: reconcile, substantiate, close. What changes is where the risk sits. A law firm can be profitable and still be in trouble over a trust account. A non-profit has to answer whose money it was, not just what it went on. Pick the page written for your situation.

Start With Your Stage
Every business has a stage, so begin there. If you also work in one of the three industries below, read that page as well. It sits on top of the stage page rather than replacing it.
First: your stage
By stage
Small businesses
You did not start a business in order to do its bookkeeping. The work that pays comes first, so the books get done last, at night, by someone who has already worked a full day. That is not a discipline problem.
What this page coversWhat doing it yourself actually costs, why handing over the books is not handing over the money, and the three questions you should be able to answer on any given day.

Growing and multi-entity businesses
The day a second person can spend money, your books need controls they never needed before. Nothing announces the transition. The same file and the same routine, and then one month the numbers are late because three people are waiting on each other.
What this page coversSeparation of duties in a company too small to staff it, running more than one entity, closing to a deadline that is not yours, and when the ledger has been outgrown.
Read the growing business pageThen, if it applies: your industry
By industry
Law firms
Clio knows what each client is owed. Your ledger has to agree with it, every month. Most firms already run Clio well. What slips is the firm's own accounting and the monthly step that ties the two together.
What this page coversThe three-way reconciliation step by step, where Clio ends and the ledger begins, and the routine transactions that quietly create trust shortfalls.

Non-profits
The question is never only what you spent. It is whose money, and on what you promised. A dollar arrives with conditions attached, and the ledger has to carry those conditions from the day the money lands to the day the auditor asks.
What this page coversRestricted and unrestricted funds, why a grant arriving is not revenue, functional expense allocation, running a c3 alongside a c4, and federal award thresholds.

Field service businesses
You finish the job, and systems do the paperwork. In most service businesses the person who does the work also quotes it, invoices it, chases it and codes it, in the evening, because that is the only time left.
What this page coversWhat ServiceM8 and Xero do and do not sync, why job margin lies, deposits and card payments in the clearing account, and where the owner becomes the bottleneck.
Read the field service pageThe part that does not change
What Is the Same Everywhere
Industry changes which numbers matter. It does not change what a properly kept file looks like.
- Reconciled to a statement, not to an empty queue. Every bank, card and processor account agreed to an actual statement balance, with outstanding items listed rather than assumed.
- A balance sheet you can substantiate. Every material line explainable, with a schedule behind it that already exists rather than one that could be produced if somebody asked.
- A close with a date on it. The period is locked, the statements are produced, and the numbers stop moving after people have read them.
- Records your CPA can work from. So what they charge for at year end is tax work rather than reconstruction.
- No authority to move your money. We prepare the payment run and tell you what is due. A person at your business releases it. That does not vary by industry, package or size.
The same is true of what we do not do. No tax filing, no payroll, no chasing your customers, no audit or attestation. Those boundaries hold on every one of the pages above.
The firm
Why Industry Depth Is Worth Anything
Knowing that trust accounts three-way reconcile, or that a conditional grant is not revenue when it lands, is not clever. It is standard. What matters is whether a firm has done it often enough to spot the problem before you do.

Where we are not the right firm
Some industries carry accounting we do not specialise in: construction with percentage-of-completion revenue, inventory-heavy manufacturing, and anything requiring an audit or attestation opinion. We would rather tell you that in the first conversation than discover it in month four.
