Tax-Minded Bookkeeping for Service-Based Businesses

Partner with a Bookkeeper who thinks like a Tax Professional

Bookkeeping for Service-Based Business Owners Who Want Clean, Tax-Ready Financials

Reliable financials are the foundation of sustainable growth.

We provide structured, tax-aware bookkeeping for service-based entrepreneurs who want accurate monthly numbers, proactive tax readiness, and a financial system they can rely on with confidence.

When we manage your books, you get more than categorized transactions.
You get clarity, structure, and peace of mind.

What You Can Expect

Confident, Data-Driven Decisions

Accurate, reconciled monthly financial reports
Clear visibility into cash flow
Meaningful financial insights to support pricing, hiring, and growth decisions
Better awareness of how your business is performing month to month

Built-In Tax Awareness — All Year Long

Organized, tax-ready financial records
Cleaner books that support smoother tax preparation
Proactive tax awareness built into your monthly bookkeeping workflow
Fewer surprises and less scrambling at tax time

Less Back-Office Stress

A structured monthly process you can rely on
Delegation with confidence
Clear communication and defined scope
A responsive partner who understands your numbers

We’re a Great Fit If You:

Run an established service-based business
Use, or are willing to use, QuickBooks Online
Generate consistent revenue
Want structured monthly support rather than year-end scrambling
Value proactive communication and tax-aware bookkeeping
Are generally current on tax filings and ready to maintain a more organized financial process

We are not the right fit for businesses seeking the lowest-cost bookkeeping option or one-off data entry without a defined monthly process.

How Our Partnership Works

1. Discovery & Diagnostic
All new monthly bookkeeping clients begin with a QuickBooks Diagnostic Review. This allows us to assess the current condition of your books, identify potential cleanup needs, and clearly define the scope of work before ongoing bookkeeping begins.

Diagnostic pricing is based on the level of review required based on the condition and complexity of your books:

Standard QBO Diagnostic: $475

Our standard diagnostic for most QuickBooks Online files. We review the overall condition of the QuickBooks file, key balance sheet accounts, reconciliations, transaction activity, and bookkeeping readiness to identify potential issues and determine whether cleanup or corrective work is needed before ongoing monthly support begins.

Expanded QBO Diagnostic: $725

Designed for situations requiring a deeper level of investigation due to the complexity or history of the accounting records. This may include significant historical balance issues, complex payroll or loan activity, multiple accounts requiring detailed investigation, or other circumstances extending beyond our standard diagnostic review.

The appropriate diagnostic level is determined by Brown Business Solutions based on the anticipated level of review required.

2. Custom Service Design
Based on your diagnostic findings, we recommend the appropriate level of monthly bookkeeping support for your business.

3. Ongoing Monthly Bookkeeping & Support
Your monthly service may include:

Accurate financial reporting
Account reconciliations
Tax-aware bookkeeping oversight
Structured check-ins and communication

Every engagement is designed for clarity, consistency, and defined expectations.

Investment

Monthly bookkeeping engagements begin at $450 per month, with more complex engagements typically ranging between $600 and $1,100+ based on their business needs and level of support required.

To ensure accurate scoping and a strong starting point, all new monthly bookkeeping clients begin with a QuickBooks Diagnostic Review ($475).

If needed, additional fees for onboarding, QuickBooks setup, or clean-up/catch-up work will be outlined in advance based on the condition of the books and the level of support required.
