Books months behind? From your bank statements and last filed return, we price the catch-up and the monthly fee in writing.

Can you catch up or clean up bookkeeping that is behind?

Yes.

  1. We rebuild the missing months from bank and card statements

  2. We reconcile each account to the statement balance

  3. We start monthly work from a clean opening balance

If your return is due before the books are ready, we file an extension and finish the catch-up before the extended deadline.

What affects the cost of bookkeeping services in Portland?

We set the monthly bookkeeping fee from five factors.

  1. 1Number of bank, card and loan accounts
  2. 2Monthly transaction volume
  3. 3Payroll, inventory or job costing
  4. 4How far behind the books are
  5. 5Number of local tax filings to support

At the light end: one bank account and one card, with the books up to date. These are the factors, not a quote.
