Why Clear Sailing

Books your tax preparer will thank you for

Most bookkeepers stop at categorizing transactions. I've seen the other side — what happens when a CPA opens a client's file at tax time — and I build your books to pass that test.

CPA-firm experience

I have professional experience working in a CPA-firm environment and understand exactly what tax professionals need from a client's books.

Flat monthly pricing

No hourly surprises. Every package is a fixed monthly fee, and cleanup projects are quoted up front after a review of your file.

A real month-end close

Every account reconciled, every balance-sheet line reviewed, financial statements delivered on a schedule you can plan around.

Remote or on-site — your choice

Fully remote service anywhere in the U.S. through a secure client portal, plus on-site visits across New England with a focus on Northern Massachusetts.

Pricing

Simple monthly packages. No hourly billing.

Pick the level of support that matches your business. Every package ends the year with a CPA-ready package.

How it works

A clear onboarding process — the same for every client

  1. 1

    Discovery call

    A 20–30 minute conversation about your business, your accounts, payroll, sales tax, and what isn't working today.

  2. 2

    Books review

    With your access, I take a preliminary look at your books, in QuickBooks Online or whatever platform you use, to understand their current condition.

  3. 3

    Fixed-price proposal

    You receive a clear monthly price and, if needed, a separate fixed quote for cleanup or catch-up work.

  4. 4

    Engagement letter

    Scope, pricing, and responsibilities are put in writing and signed before any work begins.

  5. 5

    Onboarding

    Recurring payment is set up, and you're invited to a secure client portal for documents, messages, and requests.

  6. 6

    Monthly bookkeeping

    Your books move into a standard monthly workflow with financial statements delivered on schedule.
