Your books, kept
I am Rachel. I keep the books for small businesses and prepare taxes for people who would rather be doing their own work. Twenty two years of it, from Lake City, Florida, for clients here and anywhere in the country.

This is the whole job, really
Everything that came in, everything that went out, and a number at the bottom you can act on. Kept every month, that number is there when you want it. Left alone, it is a guess, and guesses are expensive in April.
this is the part I like
What I do
Five things, done properly, by the person whose name is on the door.
-
Bookkeeping
Every transaction categorized, every account reconciled, and a report you can read waiting in your inbox.
you always know where you stand -
Set up and clean up
A new set of books started right, or a year and a half of mess put straight before it costs you anything more.
I have seen worse than yours -
Payroll
Run on schedule, reported on time, with the deposits made when they are due instead of when someone remembers.
your people get paid, quietly -
Tax preparation for individuals
Your return prepared and filed, with a real conversation about it before anybody signs anything.
no April surprises -
Quarterly and yearly business filings
The business returns and the estimates, kept on a calendar so they stop living in the back of your head.
dates are my job, not yours
How working with me goes
Three moments, and none of them is a sales pitch.
We talk for twenty minutes
Free. You tell me what your books look like right now, including the parts you would rather not say out loud.
I go and look
The first month is the slow one, because I am finding out what is really in there rather than what is supposed to be.
Then it is a rhythm
I work, you get your numbers, and you can call me. Not a ticket, not a different preparer every spring.
I have seen worse than yours
What lands in your inbox every month
- A reconciled set of books, with the questions I had already answered
- A profit and loss you can read without a glossary beside you
- A short note from me about anything odd I found, while it is still small
- The deadlines that are coming, before they arrive rather than after
I work remotely, and I live here
Both are true, and neither one is the compromise.
Anywhere in the country
Most of my clients I have never stood in a room with. We meet on video, documents move through a secure portal instead of an email chain, and the work happens in QuickBooks Online where you can watch it happen.
Lake City, and the towns around it
If you are here, or in Live Oak, Lake Butler, Fort White, Branford, High Springs or Gainesville, we can sit at a table with your paperwork between us and get further in an hour than a month of messages would.
whichever one suits you. really.

Bring whatever you have. A shoebox is fine. A spreadsheet is fine. Nothing at all is fine too, and we will start from what you remember.
