FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started?

Book a free discovery call. We'll talk through where your books stand, and I'll follow up with a written proposal that spells out your scope and monthly fee.

What bookkeeping software do you use?

I work exclusively in QuickBooks Online. If you are on another system or starting from scratch, setup or migration is available as an add-on, starting at $350.

How do I know my books are accurate?

Every account is reconciled to your bank and credit card statements, and I review your reports before they reach you. If something looks off, I tell you what I found and how it was resolved.

Do you work with clients outside North Carolina?

Yes. Honored Small Business Solutions is a virtual practice, so we can work together wherever your business is based.

How do I share documents with you?

Through a secure client portal. Statements, receipts, and reports are exchanged there instead of by email.

Can you help me get ready for tax season and work with my tax preparer?

Yes. I keep your books clean and current so they are ready when your tax preparer needs them, and with your permission I share reports with them directly.

Do you file taxes?

I prepare and file 1099-NEC forms and local personal property tax returns. I don't prepare income tax returns, self-employment tax, payroll tax filings, or W-2s. Those stay with your tax preparer or payroll provider, and I make sure they have accurate books to work from.

What does 1099 preparation cost?

$20 per form for your first 20 forms, then $5 for each additional form. W-9 collection support is also available.

Can I change my package later?

Yes. Just give me one month's notice, and we'll adjust your package to fit where your business is now.

Are you a licensed CPA?

Yes. I'm a licensed CPA and a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor with nearly 15 years of accounting experience. Honored Small Business Solutions is a bookkeeping practice, so I don't offer audits, reviews, or tax return preparation.

What makes working with you different?

You work directly with me, every month. You get accurate books, plus a plain-language explanation of what your numbers mean, from someone who knows your business.
