I’m an experienced accounting manager who runs QuickBooks Online month-end close for a multi-entity group spanning restaurants and hospitality, real estate and property companies, and staffing and payroll-heavy businesses.
That means I’ve already handled the hard stuff: high-volume POS and card deposits, inventory and cost of goods, property and loan balances, payroll that has to tie out, and money moving between related companies.
Whatever your business does, I can bring your QuickBooks up to date with a fixed-price cleanup, build a chart of accounts that fits how you actually operate, and keep everything on track with flat-fee monthly bookkeeping: reconciled accounts, accurate monthly financial statements, and help with bills, invoicing and payroll coordination when you need it.
I work with businesses in the Pensacola area and remotely nationwide, quote in writing before I start, and explain things in plain English.
Experience
Cross-industry experience that carries over to any business
Complex books teach you to get the details right. Here’s the kind of work I do every month.
Real estate & property
Property-level tracking, loans, escrow and security deposits, and balance sheets that tie out.
Staffing & payroll-heavy
Payroll journal entries and liabilities that match payroll reports, plus large receivables ledgers.
Multi-entity groups
Intercompany activity, due-to/due-from balances and consistent charts of accounts across companies.
Core skills: month-end close, bank and credit card reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, journal entries, payroll entries and liabilities, intercompany accounting, and chart-of-accounts cleanup in QuickBooks Online.
