Any of This Sound Familiar?

Most new clients come to us with at least one of these problems.

The Books Are Months or Years Behind

You meant to stay on top of it. Now there's a backlog and a deadline approaching. We get the books current and set up a system that keeps them that way. Most clients are surprised how quickly we can clean it up.

No Idea Which Clients Are Profitable

Some clients bring in money. Others drain your time and pay late. Clean books show you which is which. We set up reporting that tracks profitability so you can make smarter decisions about where to focus.

Cash Disappearing Without a Trace

Money comes in, money goes out, and there's never much left at the end of the month. You're not sure if it's labor, supplies, or something else. Monthly reports that make sense will show you exactly where it's going.

Tax Time Is Always a Scramble

Last year you were pulling together receipts at the last minute. Simona is a CPA, so she keeps your books clean and tax-ready all year. Clean monthly books mean everything is already organized when filing time comes.

Payroll Has Gotten Complicated

When it was just you, it was manageable. Now there are employees, withholdings, quarterly filings, and mistakes you can't afford. We take payroll off your plate and handle the tax filings that come with it.

An IRS Notice Just Arrived

That letter from the IRS isn't going to answer itself. As an Enrolled Agent, Simona can represent you directly before the IRS. We handle the correspondence and work the issue to resolution.

Why Work With Us

Your books deserve more than a few rushed hours on a weekend night. We bring the credentials and attention your business needs.

CPA and Enrolled Agent

Simona holds both credentials. Your bookkeeping, tax preparation, and IRS representation are all handled in-house by someone qualified to do the work right. No handing things off to another firm.

Massachusetts Based

We're located in Fitchburg and serve businesses across New England and nationwide. Local clients get someone whose reputation is here. Remote clients get the same level of attention.

8+ Years Experience

Eight years across multiple firms in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. We've seen the problems that trip up service businesses, and we've solved them before.

Direct Communication

You work with Simona directly. Questions get answered. Problems get handled. No phone trees, no account managers, no wondering who's actually looking at your books.

Our Services

Start with bookkeeping. Add personal tax, payroll, and advisory support as needed.

Full-Service Bookkeeping

Ongoing monthly bookkeeping that keeps your financials accurate and current. We categorize every transaction, reconcile your accounts, and deliver clean monthly reports so you always know where the business stands.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

If your books are behind or were never set up right, we bring them current and accurate before moving you onto ongoing monthly work. We reconcile your accounts, fix miscategorized transactions, and rebuild clean records for the months or years that got away from you.

Bill Payment

We manage your accounts payable so bills get paid on time, every time. We track what is due, schedule payments, and record everything cleanly in your books.

Accounts Receivable & Invoicing

We create and send your invoices, track what is outstanding, and record payments when they come in. You get a clear picture of who owes you and who pays on time.

Payroll System Setup & Training

A one-time setup that gets your payroll system configured correctly, with hands-on training so you can run it confidently on your own. We handle the configuration, walk you through the process, and make sure you are set up to pay your team accurately.

Full-Service Payroll

Ongoing payroll processing from start to finish. We run payroll each pay period, calculate and deposit payroll taxes, file quarterly returns, and prepare year-end W-2s. Your team gets paid accurately and on time.

1099 Preparation

We prepare and file your 1099 forms for contractors and vendors, accurately and on time. We track who needs one, gather the details, and handle the filing so you stay compliant without the year-end scramble.

QuickBooks Online Setup & Training

We set up QuickBooks Online correctly for your business and train you to use it properly. We configure your chart of accounts, connect your bank feeds, and walk you through day-to-day use.

Sales Tax Management

We handle your sales tax from calculation to filing, tracking the right rates and submitting on time. You stay compliant across the jurisdictions where you owe, without tracking rate changes and deadlines yourself.

Personal Tax Returns

Individual federal and state tax return preparation by a CPA and Enrolled Agent. We cover all income sources, deductions, and credits, and look for everything you are entitled to.

IRS Tax Representation (Enrolled Agent)

If you get an IRS notice or face an audit, Simona can represent you before the IRS directly. As an Enrolled Agent, she has full authority to handle correspondence and work the matter to resolution.

Tax Audit Support

If you are facing an IRS or state audit, we guide you through it. We help prepare your documentation, draft responses, and walk you through each step.

Tax Strategy

Proactive tax planning that works to lower what you owe, handled year-round rather than at filing time. We look at entity structure, timing, deductions, and retirement strategies.

External Controller

A second set of eyes and a layer of oversight on top of your existing accounting. We review the work, tighten reporting, and add controller-level rigor, so you get more confidence in your numbers without adding a full-time hire.

Budgeting & Cash Flow Forecasting

We build budgets and project your cash flow so you can plan ahead instead of reacting. You get a clear view of what is coming, where shortfalls might appear, and the information to make confident decisions about spending and growth.

Financial Strategy

We analyze your financial data to guide decisions on growth, profitability, pricing, and resource allocation. You get insight grounded in your actual numbers.

Fractional CFO

Ongoing CFO-level support for growing service businesses. We handle cash flow forecasting, financial analysis, and strategic planning so you have a senior financial partner without the full-time salary.

Common Questions

Answers to the questions we hear most often.

How much does bookkeeping cost?

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $199. Your rate depends on your monthly transaction volume and complexity. We'll review your situation and give you a flat monthly quote before any work begins.

My books are behind. Can you fix them?

Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is one of our most common starting points. We'll assess how far back the records go and give you a project quote to bring everything current. Once we're caught up, we move into regular monthly service.

Is there a contract?

No. We work month to month. You can cancel anytime if the service no longer fits your needs.

How do I send you documents?

We use a secure online portal for document sharing. It takes just a few minutes to set up and we'll walk you through it during onboarding.

Do we need to meet in person?

No. Everything is handled remotely. Most of our clients are in New England, but we serve businesses nationwide without ever meeting face to face.

What software do you use?

We work in QuickBooks Online for bookkeeping and Gusto for payroll. If you don't have QuickBooks Online yet, we'll help you get set up.

What do I need to do each month?

Very little. Connect your bank and credit card feeds and upload any receipts we can't pull automatically. Most clients spend 10 to 15 minutes a month on this.

Do you handle payroll?

Yes. We run payroll every pay period, handle tax deposits, file quarterly reports, and prepare W-2s at year-end.

How quickly do you respond?

Within one business day for most requests. We aim for same-day responses when possible.

How soon can you start?

Usually within a few days of our first conversation. If your books need cleanup, we start there. If they're already current, we jump straight into monthly service.

Do you work with businesses outside Massachusetts?

Yes. We're based in Massachusetts but serve service businesses across New England and nationwide. Everything is handled remotely.
