Frequently Asked Questions


1. What types of businesses do you work with?

We specialize in helping small businesses, freelancers, and service-based entrepreneurs. From stylists to contractors, photographers to local shops, no business is too small to deserve professional bookkeeping.

2. Do I need to have a certain amount of revenue before hiring a bookkeeper?

Not at all. Many of our clients start working with us when they’re just beginning. Good bookkeeping from the start makes it easier to grow your business, manage taxes, and avoid financial stress later. We customize a bookkeeping plan that works for you and your business.

3. How does your bookkeeping process work?

We categorize your transactions, reconcile your bank accounts, track income and expenses, and provide financial reports. You’ll have clear visibility into your numbers without having to manage the day-to-day details yourself. We do books a little differently at FBS. Most bookkeepers do the books monthly, but that leaves you in the dark every month! We work on your books DAILY. You have instant insight into how your business is performing at any time.

4. Do you use QuickBooks?

Yes. We use QuickBooks Online and Desktop, which makes collaboration smooth and secure. If you’re on another system (or even Excel), we can help you transition seamlessly.

5. How often will I receive reports?

Most clients receive monthly Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet reports. We can also provide custom reports or more frequent updates depending on your needs.

6. What if I’m behind on my bookkeeping?

Don’t worry, we specialize in catch-up and clean-up bookkeeping. Whether you’re one month behind or a few years, we’ll get you back on track.

7. Do you prepare taxes?

Yes. In addition to bookkeeping, we can connect you with our trusted tax professional to handle your business and personal tax filings. We can also work directly with your CPA to ensure accurate tax reporting. This way, your books and taxes stay aligned, and you won’t have to manage multiple providers.

8. How much does bookkeeping cost?

Pricing depends on the size of your business, transaction volume, and reporting needs. We offer transparent monthly packages so you’ll always know what to expect. (Contact us for a personalized quote.)

9. What industries do you serve?

We currently serve hairstylists, estheticians, contractors, and photographers, as well as a variety of other service-based businesses. If you invoice clients, pay vendors, or just need clarity in your finances, we can help.

10. Why should I outsource bookkeeping instead of doing it myself?

Outsourcing saves time, reduces errors, and gives you expert insight into your finances. You’ll spend less time worrying about receipts and more time focusing on running and growing your business.
