Monthly Bookkeeping for Service Businesses (QBO)

A simple monthly bookkeeping service for owner-led service businesses that need clean monthly books without a finance hire. An Edge bookkeeper does the work, with quality review, using QuickBooks Online only. This is forward-looking monthly bookkeeping: reconciled accounts, categorized transactions and a monthly spreadsheet of expenses and their categories.
