Core Services
Bill Pay Management
Timely bill payments are vital. I organize monthly bills and ensure they are paid promptly. Whenever possible, I set up automatic bill payments to eliminate missed deadlines. Bills can be provided to me in a variety of ways for convenience.
Tracking Expected Income
I actively monitor your income to confirm funds are received and deposited as expected. I can set up automatic deposits whenever possible and send invoices to clients, customers, or tenants to streamline collections efficiently.
Professional Bookkeeping
I meticulously record income, expenses, and other financial transactions—such as loan payments—and categorize them according to your needs. Proper bookkeeping means you will receive informative reports, ensuring you are always ready for tax season.
Account Reconciliations
Monthly bank and credit card reconciliations ensure income is received and bills are recorded correctly. Any unrecorded transactions are added to keep the records complete. I also monitor for errors or potential fraud and address issues promptly.
Budgeting and Forecasting
Budgets help keep finances on track while providing safeguards and accountability. I help you establish solid budgets and monitor any spending beyond the plan or decreases in income, helping you stay on course to achieve your financial goals.
Cash Flow Management
Staying informed about account balances is essential for making sound financial decisions. I will alert you when funds are needed, suggest opportunities to move excess funds into income-producing accounts, and identify instances when cash flow does not meet expectations.
Regular Financial Reports
I provide monthly or quarterly reports that include account balances, income and expenses, and summaries of cash flow and budgets. These reports also feature personalized notes highlighting areas of concern or suggestions for improving account management.
Tax Return Records
I prepare the records and reports necessary for tax preparation, including personal deductions, and Schedule C self-employment or rental property income and expense reports. This helps streamline the tax process and may maximize deductions.
