Two ways to work together.
Whether you need clean books at month end or an accounting department every week, every package is CPA-reviewed and built around a consistent rhythm.
Month-End Accounting
For owners who want clean financials, without the chaos.
I come in after each month closes to record, reconcile, and review your books, then deliver financials on a schedule you can count on. You handle your bills and invoicing. I make sure the numbers are right.
What's included
Secure access to your bank, credit card, and accounting platforms
Recording of bank and credit card activity
Monthly account reconciliations
Monthly financial reporting package
Summary email with call-outs and open questions
Clear Q&A process for categorization questions
Coordination with your tax accountant and year-end handoff
Best for: Smaller businesses that need accurate monthly financials and handle their own day-to-day.
For growing businesses that need hands-on, up-to-date support.
Your accounting department in a box. I work in your books on the same day every week and close out each month, so you always know where things stand without managing it yourself.
What's included
Weekly schedule dedicated to your account
Weekly bookkeeping and recording of bank and credit card activity
Weekly AP and AR aging review, with follow-up on anything that needs attention
Employee expense reimbursements and credit card monitoring
Payroll coordination
Monthly accrual close and account reconciliations
Monthly financial reporting package and review meeting by video
1099s, coordination with your tax accountant, and year-end handoff
Optional add-ons
Bill pay through BILL, with your approval*
AR support, from recording deposits to full invoicing and collections follow-up*
Payroll submission and 401(k) recording*
Best for: Businesses with vendors, customers, and employees to keep track of, that are not ready to hire in-house.
* Add-ons are optional and priced by volume, so they are added to your monthly fee. I will only recommend what your business actually needs.
One flat monthly fee. No surprise bills.
Every business is a little different, so I quote after we talk and I have had a look at your books. No hourly billing and no onboarding fee. If your books need cleanup or new systems set up first, that is quoted as a one-time project.
Behind on your books? Start here.
Months or years behind, a messy file from a past bookkeeper, or a move to a new system. I clean it up first, so your monthly package starts from numbers you can trust.
Catch-up bookkeeping
Bringing your books current when months or years have not been recorded.
Cleanup and reconciliation
Fixing miscategorized transactions, unreconciled accounts, and balances that do not tie out.
QuickBooks Online setup
A new file or a fresh start, with a chart of accounts built around how your business actually runs.
Accounting systems setup
Connecting BILL, bank feeds, and approval workflows so the monthly work runs smoothly.
Budget to actual
A one-time project for owners planning a big year and wanting to track against it.
Cash flow planning
A one-time look ahead for a hire, a big purchase, or a conversation with your bank.
Cleanup and catch-up work is quoted as a one-time project after I review your file. Most clients move straight into Month-End or Weekly Accounting once the books are current.
Built for established businesses where the owner is still in it.
You have built something real. Revenue is consistent, complexity has grown with it, and the financial side of the business needs to keep pace. You do not need a bookkeeper who just enters transactions. You need someone who understands your numbers and helps you use them.
You are a good fit if
You own and run the business, and you want someone you can count on for the numbers.
You have employees, crews, vendors, or customers to keep track of.
Your books have outgrown doing them yourself, with more accounts, people, or moving parts than when you started.
You want financials you can actually use, not just a tax-time cleanup.
You are comfortable working virtually, with a secure portal for documents and questions.
My clients include specialty trades, small manufacturers, professional services firms, and seasonal and membership-based businesses. If your business is not listed but the list above sounds like you, reach out.
From first call to monthly rhythm.
A simple, four-step path. Most clients go from first conversation to clean, current books in about a month.
01
Consultation
A free 30-minute call. We talk about your business, where the books stand, and what you wish your numbers told you. No pitch, no pressure.
02
Proposal
After a look at your books, you get a clear, flat-fee proposal: package, scope, price, and timeline in plain English.
03
Onboarding
We connect your accounts, clean up what needs cleaning, and set up your reporting rhythm. Most clients are fully onboarded within two to three weeks.
04
Monthly rhythm
Books handled on schedule, reports delivered, and questions answered through your secure portal. Your finances become a calm, predictable part of the month.
Ariana Hyland, CPA
Accounting worth waking up to.
I started this practice because I kept seeing the same thing in public accounting: owner-led businesses doing real revenue, with real complexity, trying to make do with bookkeeping support that was not built for what they actually needed.
So I built the alternative. A practice that gives businesses the rigor of a real accounting department, on a flat monthly fee, from someone who actually answers the phone. I do not just close your books, I help you understand what they mean. Based in western Massachusetts, working with businesses nationwide.
Decisions made on accurate, current, and honestly explained numbers are decisions you do not lose sleep over. That is what I am here to provide.
Know you need help with your finances, but not sure which package fits? Let's talk it through.
Book a free call and we will figure out the right fit together.
If you mainly need accurate financials each month and you handle your own bills and invoicing, Month-End Accounting is usually the fit. If you want someone in your books every week, watching payables and receivables and closing each month on an accrual basis, Weekly Accounting is the better match. We will figure it out together on the first call.
How does pricing work?
Month-End Accounting starts at $550 per month for a single business with a few accounts and light monthly activity. Weekly Accounting starts at $1,650 per month. Most clients land above the starting price once accounts, volume, and add-ons are factored in. Every engagement is a flat monthly fee, quoted after a short call and a look at your books. There is no hourly billing and no onboarding fee. If your books need cleanup or new systems set up first, that is quoted as a one-time project.
When will my account be worked on?
Weekly Accounting clients have one set day each week dedicated to their account, plus the monthly close. Month-End Accounting clients are worked on in the weeks after each month ends. Either way, you will have a consistent rhythm, so you always know when to expect your financials.
My books are behind. Can you still help?
Yes. Cleanup and catch-up work is quoted as a one-time project after I review your file. Once your books are current, we move into your monthly package.
Do you replace my tax accountant?
No. I do not prepare tax returns. I handle bookkeeping and monthly financials and coordinate with your tax preparer so year-end handoff is smooth. Having a CPA-background bookkeeper often makes tax season considerably easier for everyone involved.
Do you run payroll?
Payroll coordination is included with Weekly Accounting, and payroll submission, including review of hours, is available as an add-on. With Month-End Accounting, I record payroll from your payroll provider's reports.
What accounting software do you work with?
I primarily work in QuickBooks Online, with BILL for bill pay and a secure client portal for documents and questions. I am familiar with how field service tools like Jobber and inventory tools like Katana connect with QBO and can work with your existing setup.
What industries do you work with?
Specialty trades, small manufacturers, and professional services make up most of my client base, but those are examples, not a complete list. What matters more than industry is business size, complexity, and whether the owner is still running the show. If you do not see your industry listed, reach out. The worst that happens is we figure out together that it is not a fit.
Is there a long-term contract?
No long-term contracts. Engagements are month-to-month. That said, bookkeeping works best as an ongoing relationship. The longer we work together, the better I understand your business and the more useful the reporting becomes.
Do we ever need to meet in person?
No. Everything is handled virtually through cloud-based software and video calls. You will never need to drive anywhere or drop off a box of receipts.
Your numbers, handled.
The fastest way to start is a free 30-minute consultation. Prefer to write or call first? That works too.
