Solo Bentonville bookkeeping — answered personally, never a queue.
Bookkeeper — answered personally.
Every month your bank and credit card statements get matched to real transactions, every transaction gets a category that fits how you actually run the business, and by the 10th of the following month you get a clean set of reports — written like a person, not a spreadsheet.

What we do, step by step
The closer is a routine on purpose. Same first step, same second step, same third step. The routines are the part that protects you from a missed transaction and a year-end panic.
Every line on every bank and credit-card statement is pulled into QuickBooks Online. Nothing is hand-keyed; nothing is summar-rolled; nothing is left to memory.
Each transaction gets a category that matches how you actually run the business — not a default chart that lumps your office coffee into the same bucket as your rent.
Before anything gets sent to your CPA, the books are checked for the things that drift: a duplicate vendor, a miscoded payroll run, a fee that quietly doubled. Those get surfaced — not buried.
What “closed by the 10th” actually means
You don’t have to ask “are we closed yet?” or worry that a late statement will stall your CPA. On the 10th you get three short reports in plain English, with the numbers behind them if you want to dig in. Here’s what each one shows you.
Profit and loss
What you made and spent last month.
A short summary of your revenue and your expenses, in the buckets that match your business. Useful answer: did last month make money, and where did it go? No accounting jargon — just payroll, rent, cost of goods, marketing, the rest.
Balance sheet
Where you stand financially at month-end.
A snapshot of what your business owned, what it owed, and what was left over at midnight on the last day of the month. Useful answer: are we solvent, do we have enough runway, and what does the picture look like compared to last month?
Cash flow
Where your money actually went.
A line-by-line story of cash moving in and out of your bank account — where it came from, where it went, and what’s sitting in the account right now. Useful answer: can I pay next month’s bills, and which expenses are quietly eating the cushion?
