My books were a M E S S when I was recommended to Mariel. She has been so kind and patient and always takes a second to explain anything I don’t understand. I don’t trust anyone else with my books!

Stephanie

Mariel is just fantastic. She is so patient and helpful when it comes to navigating business finances. She has helped me on countless occasions to make sure I am reconciling my expenses the correct way. Hiring a bookkeeper is hands down a MUST!

I’ve been using Mariel and her team for my business bookkeeping needs for about 3 years now! I do not have a business background so when I came to her, I was very lost. She got my quickbooks cleaned up and ready to turn over to my accountant for taxes. She’s always there to answer my questions or direct me to one of her accountant partners. Her bookkeeping services have been invaluable for my businesses! I’d be lost without her. Highly recommend!!

Mariel has absolutely saved my business and cleaned up a lot for me. I’ve worked with prior bookkeepers and she is unmatched. She also works really hard to connect you with other people who will help you well rounded, such as CPA’s and payroll. She is fantastic and I recommend her to all my other business owners and friends!

Frequently Asked Questions

We have some commonly asked questions we like to cover for your convenience

What is a Bookkeeper and How Is It Different from a CPA?

A bookkeeper records and maintains financial transactions for a business or organization, ensuring accurate and up-to-date financial records. Unlike a CPA (Certified Public Accountant), who is a licensed professional offering auditing, tax planning, and strategic financial advice, a bookkeeper focuses on the day-to-day management of financial transactions and recordkeeping to keep your business organized and compliant.

What Are the Main Duties of a Bookkeeper?

Bookkeepers manage all aspects of a business’s financial records. They record financial transactions, handle accounts receivable and accounts payable, generate accurate financial reports, assist with tax preparation, and maintain organized and precise financial data. These tasks help business owners stay informed, save time, and make confident financial decisions.

What Reports Are Included in Monthly Bookkeeping Services?

Monthly Bookkeeping services include four key financial reports: the Profit & Loss Report, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flow, and Profit & Loss by Month. These reports give business owners a clear view of their financial performance, track growth, and provide the insights needed to make strategic decisions for profitability and sustainability.

Why Hire a Bookkeeper?

Hiring a bookkeeper provides accuracy, saves time, improves cost efficiency, and keeps your financial records organized. With professional bookkeeping, business owners gain reliable financial reporting and peace of mind, allowing them to focus on growing their business instead of managing the details of day-to-day finances.

How Much Do Bookkeeping Services Cost?

Bookkeeping pricing varies based on the complexity of your financial records, transaction volume, and the level of support you need. During a discovery call, FM Bookkeeping assesses your current situation and recommends a tailored service plan. All proposals are transparent, detailing exactly what is included each month with no hidden fees.

How Do I Get Started With Bookkeeping Services?

Getting started is simple. Business owners can book a free 30-minute discovery call through the website to discuss their bookkeeping challenges and goals. After the call, a customized proposal is provided, and onboarding begins once the plan is approved, ensuring a smooth start to organized and accurate financial management.
