Business
Build the business. We will handle the numbers.
Books, payroll, invoices and filings, run out of one office by people who also do your return. Nothing gets handed between three companies that never speak.
01
Bookkeeping
Bookkeeping
Books that are current, reconciled and ready to file from.
Daily transactions recorded, accounts reconciled to the bank, and a set of financials at the end of every month. Behind by a year? Catch-up work is normal and it is the first thing we do.
What that covers
- Transactions categorised and reconciled
- Monthly profit and loss, and balance sheet
- Catch-up and clean-up for prior periods
- Books kept in a state your lender will accept
02
Payroll
Payroll
People paid on time, and the taxes filed behind it.
Payroll is the part of a small business that quietly generates the most penalties, because the filings run on their own schedule whether or not anybody is watching. We run it and file it.
What that covers
- Payroll processed on your schedule
- Payroll taxes calculated and filed
- New hire and year-end forms
- Owner pay handled properly, including S-corp salary
03
Business and corporate taxes
Business and corporate taxes
The return, and the planning that should happen before it.
LLC, partnership, S-corp or C-corp. The return is the easy part when the books are right, which is why the two sit in the same office.
What that covers
- Federal, Michigan and city business returns
- Partnership and corporate filings
- Extensions, prior-year and amended returns
- Notices and correspondence handled
04
Payables and receivables
Payables and receivables
Money out on time. Money in sooner.
Supplier invoices scheduled so nothing goes past due, and customer invoices chased so the cash actually arrives. Most small-business cash problems are timing problems.
What that covers
- Supplier invoices tracked and scheduled
- Customer invoicing and follow-up
- Ageing reports you can act on
- A view of what is due before it is due
05
Compliance and documentation
Compliance and documentation
The filings the state expects you to keep making.
Corporate documentation, annual obligations and the records a business is legally required to maintain. Unglamorous, and the first thing that goes wrong when a business gets busy.
What that covers
- Corporate documentation maintained
- Annual filing obligations tracked
- Records kept in order for lenders and buyers
06
How we work together
What it costs depends on what you have.
A one-person LLC with a bank account and a two-crew contractor with payroll are not the same job, so they are not the same price.
Come in with your last return, your bank activity and a rough headcount. You will leave knowing the scope, the schedule and the number — before you commit to anything.
