Frequently Asked Questions

If figuring out your profit and loss involves a pile of receipts, a spreadsheet and an afternoon you don't have, it's probably time for a bookkeeper. I keep your books organized so you can see how much profit your business is making without doing all the detective work. Once I get to know your business, I take care of the bookkeeping in the background so you can focus on what you do best.

Absolutely. Bookkeeping cleanup is one of the most common services I provide. Whether you're months or years behind, I can untangle the records and get your finances back on track. No judgement.

A lot less than you'd think. After an initial onboarding call where I learn how your business works, I handle the routine bookkeeping in the background. Most clients spend just a few minutes a month sending over receipts or answering a quick question. The goal is to take this completely off your plate so you can put that time back into your business.

Yes! Brilliant Bookkeeping is a fully remote practice, so I work with small business owners across the United States. All communication and file sharing is handled securely online.

I offer monthly bookkeeping, accounts payable and receivable management, payroll and sales tax support, bookkeeping cleanup, year-end and CPA coordination, and special projects. Visit the Services section on the homepage for a full overview.

Pricing is customized based on the size and complexity of your business, the volume of transactions, and the services you need. After our discovery call, I'll provide a clear, flat-rate monthly quote for ongoing bookkeeping, or an hourly rate for cleanup and project work.

Yes! In addition to ongoing monthly bookkeeping, I offer one-time cleanup projects and special engagements such as catching up on months of backlogged books or preparing records for tax season.

I'm a certified QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor and a certified Xero Advisor, two of the most widely used accounting platforms for small businesses. Whether your business already has a system in place or you're starting from scratch, I can work with what you have or help you get set up.

Yes. I'm a Gusto Pro Partner and also work with Paychex. I handle payroll entries, reconciliations, and the related bookkeeping to keep everything connected and accurate.

Absolutely. I have experience with Buildertrend and understand the unique bookkeeping needs of construction companies. If your business runs on Buildertrend, I can work alongside it to keep your financials organized.

Brilliant Bookkeeping focuses on bookkeeping and financial record-keeping, not tax preparation. However, I work closely with your CPA or tax preparer to make sure your books are clean, organized, and ready for tax season.

Completely understandable concern, and one I take seriously. For bank and credit card accounts, I use read-only access — that means I can view transactions to keep your books accurate, but I have no ability to move money or make any changes to your accounts. Sensitive documents like statements and receipts are transferred through secure, encrypted tools.
