- Access to the bookkeeping file
- Loan statements and payroll summaries
- Receipts or explanations for unusual transactions
Answers before we begin
Monthly Bookkeeping Services: common questions.
Does monthly bookkeeping include tax filing?
Monthly bookkeeping and tax-return preparation are separate scopes. Clean books support the return, but a filing engagement must be agreed separately.
How soon can a month be closed?
Timing depends on receiving complete statements and answers to transaction questions. We agree a practical cutoff and review schedule during onboarding.
Can you take over an existing file?
Yes, the starting point is a review of balances and reconciliations. Earlier errors may need a separate cleanup scope before recurring work begins.
