Common Questions
Do you work with businesses in Downtown Royal Oak?
Yes. Downtown Royal Oak is part of Metro Detroit, which we serve from our Macomb location. Most of our work happens remotely, so your location on Washington Ave or Main Street doesn't change how we work together.
What does bookkeeping cost for a small retail or service business?
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199. Your actual price depends on transaction volume and complexity. Restaurants and busy retail shops typically run higher due to daily sales volume. We quote a flat rate after reviewing your situation.
Can you handle payroll for tipped employees?
Yes. We process payroll including tip reporting, tax withholdings on tipped wages, and all the quarterly filings. Your staff gets paid correctly and you stay compliant.
My books are behind. Can you help?
That's common. We do catch-up work to get your records current, then transition to monthly service. Whether you're a few months or a couple years behind, we sort it out.
How do you work with businesses remotely?
Through a secure client portal and regular communication. You upload documents when convenient, we handle the bookkeeping, and you get monthly reports. No need to drive anywhere or schedule office visits.
