Common questions

Questions I get asked a lot.

If yours isn't here, a quick call is the fastest way to get a straight answer.

What's the difference between a bookkeeper and a CPA?
A bookkeeper keeps your day-to-day financial records accurate and current — reconciling accounts, categorizing transactions, and producing monthly reports. A CPA typically handles tax filing and formal advisory work. Clean books make your CPA's job faster and cheaper, which is why the two work well together.
Do I need to be located in Orange County to work with you?
No. Everything is managed securely in the cloud on QuickBooks Online, so we can work together without in-person meetings. Orange County is home base, and local clients are always welcome to meet.
What accounting software do you use?
QuickBooks Online. It gives you secure, real-time access to your own numbers whenever you want them, rather than waiting on a monthly file from someone else.
What if I'm months or years behind on my books?
That's what Book Cleanup is for. Backlogs of months or even years get cleared, miscategorized entries get fixed, and past periods get reconciled so you start from a clean, current baseline.
How do we get started?
It starts with a free 15-minute phone call to talk through your business, the state of your books today, and what you actually need. There's no obligation.
