How it works

The software does the busywork.
A person checks everything that matters.

Most bookkeeping firms pick one side: cheap software nobody checks, or a person typing in every line by hand. We do both, so the work is fast and you can trust it.

STEP 1

AI sorts every transaction

Each bank and card line is categorized as it comes in, using your business's own history and rules.

STEP 2

A bookkeeper reviews it

Anything unusual is flagged for a person, and we spot-check a random sample of the rest. Nothing posts without our approval.

STEP 3

Your month, closed and signed

Accounts reconciled, a clean P&L and balance sheet, and a short note in plain English. A named bookkeeper signs every close.

Inside the system

Your books, on your phone.
Our review, behind every number.

Every client gets the same software we use. These screens come from the system that runs your books, shown here with sample data.

What you get

Built for owners too busy
to open QuickBooks.

You don't log in to software to do our job. You answer a quick question when we need you, and you always know where your numbers stand.

Questions answered in a tap

When something needs your input, you get one clear question with the transaction attached. Answer it in seconds, from your phone.

A readiness meter

See at a glance how close this month is to done, and what's still waiting on you.

Early warnings

Duplicate charges, missing deposits and odd spending get caught during the month, not at tax time.

Your own client portal

Reports, documents and month notes in one secure place. Sign in with a one-time email link, no password to remember.

Your approval, always

Changes you suggest are proposals until we've checked them. Every step is logged with who did it and when.

A local person you can call

The AI never replaces your bookkeeper. You know who's doing your books, and he's right here in Jacksonville.

Who we serve

Three kinds of businesses.
One standard of clean books.

We focus on owners with lots of transactions and no time, which is where software alone falls short.

Step Up for Students schools

Scholarship deposits matched to your student roster, tuition tracked cleanly, and records kept ready for the state's reviews.

Jacksonville small businesses

Monthly books, reconciled accounts and a clear picture of cash, for owners who'd rather run the business than the books.

Home-service companies

HVAC, plumbing, roofing, cleaning and more. Materials sorted to the right job, so you can see which work actually makes money.

CPA-ready

Cleaner books.
A happier CPA.

Tax season shouldn't start with a shoebox. Your CPA gets a tidy, checked set of books every year, which means fewer questions, fewer surprises and less billable cleanup time for you.

Every account reconciled to the bank, every month.
Every transaction categorized and checked by a person.
Receipts and documents filed with the line they belong to.
A full history of who changed what, and when.
A year-end packet ready to hand straight to your CPA.
