FAQs

  • At SJA Books, I offer full-service virtual bookkeeping tailored to small business owners, like photographers, hairdressers, Real Estate Agents, etc. I handle everything from categorizing transactions and reconciling accounts to preparing financial reports. I use QuickBooks Online and follow the accrual accounting method, meaning I track income and expenses when they’re earned or incurred—not just when cash changes hands. My goal is to help you save time, stay organized, and even save on taxes—ideally more than the cost of my services!

  • Virtual bookkeeping works just like traditional bookkeeping, but everything is done online—no need for in-person meetings or stacks of paperwork! At SJA Books, I use secure cloud-based software, QuickBooks Online, to manage your finances. You’ll connect your bank accounts and upload any necessary documents, and I’ll handle the rest—categorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, and keeping your books up-to-date.

  • I don’t file taxes, but I make sure your books are perfectly prepared for your accountant or CPA. My job is to keep everything organized, accurate, and up-to-date so that when it’s time to file, your CPA has everything they need to make the process smooth and stress-free. With clean, well-prepared books, filing your taxes becomes easy peasy—saving you time, hassle, and potentially even money!

  • QuickBooks Online makes it easy for you to upload a photo of your receipt directly, and I’ll handle the rest! If that option doesn’t work for you or you have other documents to share, I use ContentSnare—a secure platform that lets you upload documents safely and easily.

  • I exclusively use QuickBooks Online to keep things streamlined and efficient.

    Don’t worry if you’re not using QuickBooks Online yet—I can help you get set up and even get you a discount when you sign up through me!

  • We will determine a schedule that fits your business needs. Whether you prefer your books done weekly, monthly, or quarterly will depend on the size of your business and your personal preferences. We’ll find a rhythm that works for you! Plus, you’ll have 24/7 access to your financial reports, and we’ll stay connected through email, video calls, or whatever works best.

  • The cost of bookkeeping depends on the size and complexity of your business, as well as how often you need your books updated—whether that’s weekly, monthly, or quarterly. At SJA Books, I offer customized pricing tailored to your specific needs, so you’re only paying for the services that benefit your business. My goal is to maximize your tax savings to the point where it covers my fee, turning hiring me into an investment, not an expense.

  • Our goal is to deliver your finalized month-end reports by the 15th of the following month. This timeline depends on how quickly we receive the necessary information from you, so the more responsive you are, the faster we can wrap things up!
