How this practice started

I almost let that call go to voicemail.

A name I had not seen in years. I picked up. “I need your help — I am on the board of a nonprofit and their books are in bad shape.” Three years later I am still their consultant.

That is still how the work arrives: someone with real numbers and no time to keep them straight. More about the practice →

The work

Three of the problems we were handed.

All case studies →
Nonprofit · Accounts payable

A 58-vendor bill run, from hours to minutes

Roughly 232 manual entries a month, read by eye off one small-print page. The automation removed the typing and left an approval trail behind.

232 manual entries a month, removed
Retail · Revenue reconciliation

Why Shopify and Square never match QuickBooks

A retailer posting adjusting entries every month to correct their own automation. We turned the sync off and rebuilt the books from the POS report.

Hundreds of projects, out of Excel and Word for good

Lab results were retyped into a report, then into an invoice. Now both generate from the record the lab data loads into.

The pattern we keep finding

You turned on the integration. So why is someone still fixing it every month?

Native integrations are built for the simplest version of a business. Add programs, grants, classes or multiple channels and the integration stops being an automation.

Data gets entered once, at its source. Everything downstream is generated from it.

POS & e-commerce
Monthly

Posts daily data that never matches the source report.

Donor CRM
Monthly

Revenue never reconciles to the general ledger.

Payroll
Every run

Syncs ignore classes, programs and grants.

Two halves of one practice

Bookkeeping & accounting

A monthly close that lands on time, on a file you can hand to a board or a bank without a caveat attached. Cleanups, catch-up work, payroll setup, and the Desktop migration you have been putting off.

Workflow automation

The part most bookkeepers do not offer. We read your source documents, build the entries from them, and take the recurring manual step out of the middle — across Zapier, Make.com, Docparser, Bill.com and Airtable.

What the two halves add up to

Source documents in. A close that ties out.

Receipts, timesheets, POS summaries, statements, vendor bills. Each one is read where it arrives and posted to the right class the same day — so the close is a byproduct of the month, not a scramble at the end of it.

Who we work with

Nonprofits, churches & schools

Functional expense allocation, grant compliance, approval trails a board can rely on.

Contractors & trades

Material and labor on the right job, the day it happens. Real margin while the job is running.

Retail, restaurant & e-commerce

Books built from the POS system’s own report, so sales tax is defensible.

Professional services

One system for the project, the deliverable and the invoice.
