Bookkeeping
Clean books, every month, without the dread
Monthly categorization, reconciliation, and reporting so you always know where the money is. Delivered by our sister brand, Tides Bookkeeping.
Why your books keep slipping
Most service-business owners aren't behind because they're careless. They're behind because bookkeeping is the one job that's easy to put off until it's a problem.
You don't actually know your numbers
When the books are in a shoebox or a year behind, you're running the business on gut feel. You can't tell a good month from a bad one until it's too late to do anything about it.
DIY bookkeeping eats your real work
Every hour you spend wrestling with categories and receipts is an hour you're not selling, serving clients, or running the business. And it's still not done right.
Tax season becomes a fire drill
Messy or missing records mean a frantic scramble every spring — and an accountant who charges more to clean up the gaps. You overpay in stress and in fees.
What you get
What's included
A full monthly close, handled end to end. You send the access; the Tides team does the work and sends back numbers you can trust.
Monthly categorization & reconciliation
Every transaction sorted to the right account and reconciled against your statements, so the books match reality down to the dollar.
Bank & card feed setup
Your bank and credit card accounts connected and feeding in automatically. No more exporting spreadsheets or hunting for missing transactions.
Monthly P&L and balance sheet
A clean profit and loss statement and balance sheet each month — so you can see what you made, what you spent, and what the business is worth.
Accounts receivable tracking
We keep tabs on who owes you and how long it's been outstanding, so money you've earned doesn't quietly go uncollected.
Year-end close & tax package
A tidy, finalized year-end close and a tax-ready package your accountant can work from directly — no cleanup, no back-and-forth, no surprise invoices.
Advisory access for money questions
When you need to make a call — a hire, a big purchase, a pricing change — you have someone who knows your numbers to talk it through with.

Talk About ThisCommon questions
Who actually does the bookkeeping?+
Your books are handled by Tides Bookkeeping, our sister brand. Tides already serves active real estate and service-business clients, so you get a team that does this every day. You can learn more at tidesbookkeeping.com.
How much does it cost?+
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $300/mo, delivered by Tides Bookkeeping. The exact number depends on your transaction volume and how many accounts you run, but we'll quote you a flat monthly price up front so there are no surprises.
My books are a mess — is that a problem?+
No. Most clients come to us behind or with records in rough shape. We assess where things stand, get you caught up and reconciled, then keep you current month after month.
Do you handle real estate commissions?+
Yes. We track books in a way that accounts for commission splits and agent payouts, so brokerages and agents get financials that reflect how the business actually runs.
Do you file my taxes?+
We don't file returns, but we make filing easy. You get a clean year-end close and a tax-ready package your accountant or CPA can use directly — and we're happy to coordinate with them.
