When the books keep getting postponed

Your bookkeeping should provide answers, not another unfinished job.

01

The books are behind

Transactions, reconciliations, and documents keep accumulating.

02

The numbers are difficult to trust

Balances do not match, categories are unclear, or reports feel unreliable.

03

The reports are not being explained

You receive statements but still do not know what needs your attention.

Common questions

What should you know before getting started?

How much does bookkeeping cost?

Pricing depends on the service, transaction volume, number of accounts, condition of the records, and complexity of the work. You receive a defined scope after the initial review.

Do you prepare tax returns?

Black Core provides bookkeeping services, not tax preparation. Organized books can be shared with your tax professional for tax filing and advice.

What software do you support?

Black Core's services are centered on QuickBooks Online. Software fit and access requirements are reviewed during the consultation.

What will you need from me?

The exact list depends on the service, but it may include bookkeeping access, account statements, prior reports, and answers about unclear transactions. A specific request list is provided before work begins.
