Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you start my monthly bookkeeping service?
We typically onboard new monthly bookkeeping clients within 1-2 weeks, depending on the current backlog and past work complexity. After setup, you'll begin receiving timely, professional financial reports right away.
How long does initial bookkeeping cleanup take for messy books?
This will depend mostly on you how fast you can get us your information but we strive to complete it in 4-8 weeks. However, the duration of bookkeeping cleanup depends primarily on the volume and age of the bookkeeping cleanup needed.
Do I need bookkeeping if I’m a small business?
Yes, accurate bookkeeping is essential. It ensures your financials are audit-ready, supports informed decisions, and ensures your tax return is correct and maximizes deductions.
What is the starting price for your monthly bookkeeping services?
Our pricing is transparent and based on your business complexity, but our flat-rate monthly bookkeeping starts at $399. We provide a custom, fixed quote after your discovery call.
What accounting software do you use for small business bookkeeping?
We exclusively use QuickBooks Online (QBO) for client books. As a QuickBooks ProAdvisor, we can offer special discounted access to QBO that is unavailable to the general public. We also offer a secure backend bookkeeping service for clients who prefer reports only.
Do I need a separate CPA for year-end tax preparation?
No, you do not need a separate CPA. Since ETA is managed by an Enrolled Agent (EA)—licensed nationwide—and our team consists of certified tax preparers, we handle both your monthly books and your year-end tax filing strategically.
Can I use your bookkeeping services remotely nationwide?
Yes, our services are fully virtual and remote. Everything is handled via our secure client portal and digital collaboration tools. While we have physical offices in Jacksonville, FL, and serve clients in Brunswick, GA, we proudly support small businesses across all 50 states.
How secure is my financial data and client portal access?
We adhere strictly to the IRS guidelines and established rules for tax professionals regarding data security and storage. We utilize industry-standard encryption and rigorous security protocols to protect all your sensitive documents, financial reports, and books. All client information is stored within your secure, password-protected client portal, and access is limited to authorized ETA personnel only. We treat your privacy and data security as our highest priority.
How does bookkeeping tie into tax preparation?
Bookkeeping is not Tax Preparation. If you have a small business you need to have your bookkeeping completed before you can have your tax return completed. Good bookkeeping throughout the year makes tax prep smoother, more accurate, and less expensive. It ensures all expenses, income, and deductions are correctly recorded. If you wait until it’s time to do your taxes there might not be enough time to get your bookkeeping completed or it might cost more with a rush fee.
What is your bookkeeping contract length and cancellation policy?
To ensure dedicated capacity and service quality, our bookkeeping services require a 1-year contract. Should you need to cancel, a 2-month cancellation fee applies. Your final documents remain in your secure client portal for an additional 30 days for download.
