Heartseed BookkeepingSmall business bookkeeping services
Right-sized bookkeeping for Bellingham, Whatcom County, the Seattle area, and anywhere else in the US.
Monthly bookkeeping
This is the main thing. I build your books from your business bank and card statements, keep them current every month, and explain them in plain English.
- Every transaction categorized
- Your bank and credit card accounts reconciled
- A monthly profit and loss statement and balance sheet
- A heads up when something looks off
- Clean year-end books for your tax preparer
Catch-up and cleanup bookkeeping
Fell behind? Everyone does. I'll rebuild your books from your bank statements, whether you're a few months behind or a few years, and get you current. After that, monthly bookkeeping keeps it from happening again.
New business bookkeeping setup
Starting clean is way cheaper than cleaning up later. I'll help you open a separate business account, set up a simple system, and build habits that keep your books tidy from day one.
Deeper accounting
Some businesses outgrow the basics: more accounts, more moving parts, more detailed reporting. I've got the training for that too. We'll figure out on our call whether you need it. Most people don't yet.
Pricing
It depends on how many accounts you have and how busy they are. It's a flat monthly fee, not hourly, so you won't get a surprise bill. Email me and I'll give you an actual number.
Bookkeeping questions people ask me
How much does bookkeeping cost?
It's a flat monthly fee based on how many accounts you have and how busy they are. Email me and I'll give you a real number.
Do you do taxes?
No, I'm not a tax preparer. I keep your books clean all year so your tax preparer can do their job fast, which usually makes tax prep cheaper too.
Do I really need a separate business bank account?
Yes. Honestly it's the best thing you can do for your books. Mixing personal and business money makes everything slower, messier, and more expensive at tax time. I'll help you set one up.
Do you work with businesses outside Bellingham?
Yep. I work with businesses in Whatcom County and the Seattle area, and since everything happens online, anywhere in the US works.
How far behind is too far behind?
There's no such thing. Whether you're three months behind or three years, I can rebuild your books from your bank statements and get you current.
