Common questions
How do you decide which plan I'm on?
By complexity: number of bank and card accounts, transaction volume, revenue streams, entities and systems. Revenue alone doesn't set your fee. The cost estimator gives a starting range and I confirm the final number after we talk.
What if my books are behind?
We start with a fixed-quote Cleanup & Catch-Up project, then move to a monthly plan once you're current.
Do you offer fractional CFO services?
I provide fractional controllership and some CFO-aligned work through the Controller plan and advisory. For fundraising, investor relations or board-level capital decisions, I'll refer you to a trusted partner.
Should I do my own books instead?
Run the numbers with the DIY vs. Bookkeeper Calculator.
Can AI replace my bookkeeper?
Not yet. Today it mostly creates cleanup work for CPAs. Read my take.
