Frequently Asked Questions
How much is this going to cost?
Bookkeeping services can save overhead costs in the long run, reduce miscommunication errors, and increase efficiency. Which is why it’s also important to know how much these services cost before you make your final decision about whether or not they are worth the investment. This can be costly when you consider tax time or when you receive an unfavorable audit at the end of the year. That’s why it’s important to hire a bookkeeping service in order to keep track of income and expenses, making billing quicker, easier, and accurate. Bookkeeping services are not inexpensive, but they are needed for all small business owners. If you’re considering hiring a bookkeeping service it’s important that you understand the benefits of doing so before making your decision.
We have monthly and quarterly programs that will fit your budget and needs. Just take our quick assessment and get some help today.
How much time will hiring you save me each week?
A bookkeeper is a professional who manages a business’ accounts. A bookkeeper can assist in balancing the cash flow, maintaining records and reporting to the owner or other entities. The time saved on managing this type of job varies depending on how much work it is. However, for small businesses where there are low cash inflows, it may take some time for an accountant to get started.
Bookkeeping services will save you time and money by managing all of your company’s financial information. This includes, but is not limited to: handling bookkeeping tasks like making sure your business is complying with tax laws, calculating payroll expenses, billing customers, filing annual reports, reconciling bank accounts, paying bills on time and more.
Do you handle my end of year taxes as well?
We are close to having the full-service capability of handling your federal and year-end taxes. Contact us to find out exactly how we can help you.
How often will you communicate with me about my financials?
We treat all clients like our best client. Regardless of your company size, we are responsive and open to your questions. If you require additional communication, we are happy to meet your needs.
I already use QuickBooks/xero, why do i need you?
Many people are already using QuickBooks, or Xero but they often find themselves wanting help with basic bookkeeping tasks. A great solution to this problem is hiring a bookkeeper. Let’s take a look at some reasons why you might need one.
If you are new to bookkeeping, hiring a knowledgeable bookkeeper can make your life easier. Bookkeeping is not just about running the numbers, it is about making sense of the financial information. This can be very confusing for anyone who is new to bookkeeping.
If you are an experienced QuickBooks or Xero user, you will also benefit from the help of a bookkeeper. Bookkeepers are very experienced in this type of software, so they know how to simplify your life. They are also better at dealing with complex financial issues than you are on your own.
No offense, but why should I trust you with my books?
That’s a fair question and our only answer (besides our decades of experience, boatloads of satisfied clients, and certifications) is give us a try. We will give your business a free assessment and show you exactly how we will help. Get your free assessment here.

“Any small business owners that have had challenges with bookkeeping there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and a song that sounds like a choir of Angels. That’s my experience with Marie. She’s a gift from the universe after 15 years of business and 8+ Bookkeepers/Accountant’s who NEVER gave a rip about my financial picture being the slightest bit accurate. Oh how nice it is to actually know and understand your #’s. EMPOWERMENT is blissful!
Thank you, Marie Stewart!”
Trish Lecy
Owner, Embellish Multispace Salon
“I am not a book keeper, I don’t even play one on TV. Thank goodness for Marie! I am on an HOA board that has let their bookkeeping remain in the 19th century with multiple problems piling up. I tapped Marie at Sound Accounts for help training me to use QuickBooks Online and clean up the mess. She is amazing, patient, a good instructor, knowledgeable and approachable in a way not normally akin to accounting types…WITH HUMOR! I highly recommend Marie. Thank you for everything!”
