Industry context

Service-business books get noisy where people costs and client work overlap.

A useful close keeps recurring revenue, payroll, contractors, software, owner activity, and overhead visible without pretending base bookkeeping is a full project-accounting system.

Payroll and contractors

People costs arrive through payroll systems, contractor payments, reimbursements, and cards.

Software and subscriptions

Recurring tools spread across teams, cards, and billing cycles and can disappear into broad categories.

Revenue and owner activity

Client payments, retainers, transfers, draws, and contributions need consistent treatment.

What we understand

The monthly activity behind a service firm

Recurring client revenue

Organize deposits and recurring revenue activity using the records available in QuickBooks.

Payroll bookkeeping

Coordinate the bookkeeping entries behind an existing payroll process where scoped.

Contractor and vendor costs

Keep independent contractor and vendor spending visible in the monthly books.

Software spending

Categorize recurring tools and subscriptions consistently.

Bank and card reconciliation

Reconcile included operating accounts and identify unresolved differences.

Monthly reports

Deliver the financial reports and review cadence included in the selected plan.

Monthly rhythm

A close process built around the real activity.

The work stays practical: access, reconciliation, exception review, reports, and clear answers when the file needs judgment.

1

Map the operating accounts

Confirm bank, card, payroll, and standard integration scope.

2

Close around the client work

Categorize, reconcile, review exceptions, and prepare the included reports.

3

Review the useful picture

Use the support and financial-review cadence included in the selected plan.

Scope guardrail

Detailed project accounting may require additional scope.

Advanced project profitability, complex accrual work, A/R or A/P management, multi-entity reporting, and other specialized requirements are confirmed before work begins.

QuickBooks ownership

Your books stay in your QuickBooks file.

LedgerCrew works inside the QuickBooks Online file you control, so you keep ownership, admin access, and a clean handoff if your needs change.

Subscription note: QuickBooks Online is billed separately. If you need a subscription, LedgerCrew can provide it and include it on your bill.
