How it works

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a bookkeeper if I’m an artist or freelance creative?

If you have income from several sources, business expenses to track, or you dread tax time, yes. A bookkeeper keeps your records organized all year so you know what you’re earning and your tax preparer has everything they need.

What’s the difference between a bookkeeper and a CPA?

I keep your books accurate and current throughout the year. Your CPA or tax preparer files your taxes. I work alongside your CPA and hand off clean, organized records at tax time.

My books are months or years behind. Can you help?

Yes. Catch-up and clean-up bookkeeping is one of my core services. I’ll bring your records up to date and then help you keep them that way. If you’ve fallen behind on taxes and don’t have a tax preparer, don’t worry. I can connect you with a trusted CPA or enrolled agent and work alongside them to get you caught up.

Do you work with clients outside Los Angeles?

Yes. I’m based in West Hollywood and work fully remotely, so I can serve clients anywhere in the U.S. or the world!

What accounting software do you work with?

QuickBooks Online, Xero and NetSuite. I’m a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor.

What types of businesses do you work with?

All of them: individuals and sole proprietors, partnerships, LLCs, S corporations, C corporations and trusts. Each has its own rules for bookkeeping, payroll and reporting, and I know them all, so your books are set up correctly for your structure from day one.

Can you help me decide if or when I should incorporate?

Yes. As your business grows, the right structure can lower your taxes and protect your personal assets. I’ll review your numbers, explain how an LLC, S corporation or C corporation would affect your books and taxes, and work with your CPA or attorney so you make the move at the right time.

Do you work with manufacturers and businesses that carry inventory?

Yes, and it’s one of my specialties. I have extensive experience with manufacturing/production and inventory-based businesses: I’ve managed production for a beverage company, purchased parts and materials, tracked inventory across multiple warehouses and helped roll out new products. I also track inventory and cost of goods sold for every kind of seller, whether you sell direct, in stores, wholesale or online, including Shopify, Square, Stripe, PayPal, WooCommerce, Clover, Toast or any other platform. For one installation company, setting up proper inventory tracking uncovered an employee who was stealing materials.

Can you help me with accounting for a film project?

Yes. I have extensive production accounting experience with a variety of film projects. I can set up and manage your production’s books, track costs against your budget, and keep everything organized for investors, partners and your CPA.

Can you handle cryptocurrency in my books?

Yes. I track crypto and other digital asset transactions across exchanges and wallets, reconcile them to your books, and organize your gains, losses and crypto income so your CPA has clean, complete records at tax time.

Can you help with financial paperwork for a separation or divorce?

Yes. I organize income, expense and business records needed for separation and divorce financial disclosures and work alongside your attorney. I don’t provide legal advice.

Can you tell me if my business and properties are properly insured?

Yes. Whether it’s your business, your home or your rental properties, I review your current insurance coverage, show you where you may be underinsured or missing coverage, and explain what that could mean for you, so you can decide whether to fix it. I also track renewals and help with audits and claims.

How much does a bookkeeper cost?

It depends on how many accounts and transactions you have and what services you need. After a free 15-minute consultation, I’ll give you a clear quote with no surprises.

Can a bookkeeper help me save money on taxes?

Yes, especially if you’re an artist or creative professional. Some expenses that aren’t normally deductible may be legitimate business expenses depending on your profession. I identify and track all of your business expenses so you can take full advantage of them and keep more of what you earn.

Can you help me maximize my retirement contributions?

Yes. Self-employed people and business owners can often contribute more to retirement accounts than employees can, and those contributions can reduce your tax bill. With accurate books, it’s easier to maximize your retirement contributions and lower your taxes at the same time. I work with your CPA or financial advisor so you take full advantage of what the law allows.

Can you recommend a CPA, estate planner, financial planner or other professional?

Yes. I have a trusted network of CPAs and enrolled agents, estate planners, financial planners and legal professionals, and I’m happy to connect you with the right person for your situation.
