Bank reconciliations and month-end journal entries for your bookkeeping clients, done in QuickBooks or Xero by an offshore accountant assigned to your firm.
The work happens in each client's own ledger, so the reconciliations and journal entries sit where your reviewers already look. The same accountant stays on a client from one month-end close to the next.
Bank accounts reconciled to their statements in QuickBooks or Xero, with the month-end journal entries from your close checklist posted.
Every item that won't reconcile is listed with its account and amount, so your manager can decide which ones need following up.
When a reconciliation is waiting on a missing statement, or on the reason behind a transfer, the question goes on the open-questions list. Your firm chooses whether to raise it with the client, and how.
Bank accounts are reconciled to their statements each month in the client's QuickBooks or Xero file, following the close checklist your staff use for that client.
Some items won't clear, such as a deposit that matches no invoice, or a transfer that shows in one bank feed and not the other. Those items stay open on the reconciliation and go on the list your manager gets with the close.
The rest of the close follows that same checklist, and the accountant posts the month-end journal entries it calls for.
When the same client's vendor bills come to us as outsourced accounts payable work, and your checklist includes the AP tie-out, the AP aging is agreed to the ledger in that same close. Tax returns, payroll and the rest of the work firms hand us are listed under outsourced accounting services, and our pricing page has the on-demand rates for that work.

After your manager has reviewed the month, set the closing date in QuickBooks or the lock date in Xero, so nobody edits the closed period by accident.
The accountant needs four things from your firm before the first close.
Our security page covers the controls on each login, and our page on how onboarding works sets out each step from the first call to live work.
One dedicated accountant handles the books for [__] of your clients.
Monthly bank reconciliations and the month-end journal entries your close checklist calls for, done in each client's QuickBooks or Xero file. Your manager gets the reconciled file and a list of the items that wouldn't tie, and anything that needs the client goes to your team as an open question.
The client files your firm already works in, such as QuickBooks or Xero. The accountant signs in to each one under their own named user with MFA, and your firm decides which files that user can open. If a client keeps its books in other software, send us the name before the pilot and we'll tell you whether we can work in it.
The accountant reconciles each bank account to its statement and lists what won't tie. A US-based manager on our side reviews that work every week, and the final review stays with your reviewers.
No. When a file is missing a statement, or a transaction needs an explanation only the client can give, it goes on the open-questions list for your team, and your firm decides how to ask.
A dedicated accountant who works only on your firm costs $1,800 to $6,500 a month, depending on the work and its complexity. On-demand bookkeeping pricing is [__].
Yes. You pick the accountant yourself, from two or three we shortlist, after watching their recorded intros and interviewing the ones you want. That accountant stays on your files. Counting from the first call, they spend days 11 to 17 learning your software and close checklists, and live work starts on days 18 to 21.
Client files stay on controlled virtual desktops with no local storage. Each accountant works in the client's ledger under a named user with MFA and signs an individual NDA, and your firm can switch that access off at any time.
You choose a few clients and one month of their books, and we agree the scope with you on a call before the pilot starts. The accountants who would work on your files reconcile and close that month in each client's books. You then decide whether to continue, based on whether the reviewed files came back on time and how many review notes your manager wrote.
