Books by the 10th · Monthly promise

Books by the 10th.Every month. No exceptions.

Prior month’s books closed, reconciled, and in your inbox by end of business on the 10th — not a draft, not “almost done,” a finished month. So you stop wondering where the numbers stand and start running the business on them.

  • Closed by EOB on the 10th
  • Bank & credit cards reconciled
  • Plain-language notes included
The promise, in plain English

Last month’s books, done.

  • Every bank line matched to a real transaction. Every credit-card charge, too.
  • Four reports — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and a plain-English read-out — in your inbox and your books.
  • Anything I want you to look at is flagged at the top, not buried in page three.

What every monthly close delivers

Four reports. Every month. In your inbox by EOB on the 10th.

The close is the same four things every month — they’re not tiers or add-ons, they’re what a closed month means. Each card below scrolls to its counterpart in the sample report further down the page.

Deliverable 01

Profit & Loss

Revenue, costs, and what fell to the bottom line.

A clean P&L for the month and year-to-date, grouped by the chart of accounts your business actually runs on — not a default template that lumps office coffee in with rent.

Deliverable 02

Balance Sheet

What you own, what you owe, and what's left.

Assets, liabilities, and equity as of month-end. Reconciled to the bank and the credit-card statements, not an estimate. Equity reflects the month's activity.

Deliverable 03

Cash Flow

Where the cash actually went.

Operating, investing, and financing for the month. Ending cash matches the bank. Anything unusual is called out at the top of the report, not on page three.

Deliverable 04

Plain-English Notes

What the numbers actually mean.

A short, written read-out of what changed, what matters, and what to watch — in language that doesn't require an accounting degree. The thing most bookkeepers skip.

What you still do — and what we handle

You’re not learning QuickBooks.You’re reading the reports it produces.

The books are a system I run end-to-end. The owner’s role is small, fixed, and never grows — it’s the part of the close only the owner can do.

What you still do

Three things, every month, on your schedule.

  • Forward bank and credit-card statements (or grant portal access — most banks do this in two clicks).
  • Reply to one clarifying email per month, when something needs your call.
  • Sign off on the close after the read-out — usually five minutes of your time.

Owner-only — only the owner can sign off

What we handle

The whole books, end to end. Every month.

  • Categorize every transaction into the chart of accounts your business actually runs on.
  • Reconcile every bank account and every credit card to the statement, every month.
  • Build the four reports — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and the plain-English read-out.
  • Review month-over-month deltas so the story behind the numbers is already in the notes.
  • Flag anomalies and follow-ups at the top of the report so nothing gets buried on page three.
  • Send everything to your inbox by end of business on the 10th — not a draft, a finished month.

Sent by end of business on the 10th — every month
