Straight & Narrow Bookkeeping, LLC will give you a crystal clear picture of where your money is coming (and going). When your books are up-to-date, you get an accurate measure of your business’s health, and can make smarter financial decisions. Also, the time you save on not having to worry about keeping the books up-to-date yourself will give you the ability to focus more on the day to day functions of your business.
Having accurate books pays off at tax time, too! When your bookkeeping is up-to-date, you avoid missing out on any deductions or scrambling to get caught up before the tax deadline.
Yes, we can get you caught up quickly, no matter how far behind you are (yes, even years behind)! How long it takes depends on how many months of Catch-up Bookkeeping you need, but typically it takes us about 2 – 4 weeks to complete one year’s worth of overdue bookkeeping.

If your business does not currently have an accounting system, we will show you the benefits of Xero vs. QuickBooks, but ultimately, it is the business owner's decision.
Yes, Straight & Narrow Bookkeeping, LLC offers Full-range Payroll Processing Services. We can set you up with a cloud payroll system that connects with your accounting software. We will ensure the details from each pay run are accounted for in your financial records and reconciled against your bank statement each month.
We don’t file your taxes with the IRS, but we will ensure your books are accurately updated throughout the year so you’ll be set up perfectly for tax time. We prepare a Year End Financial package that contains everything you need to file.
If you have a CPA, we’ll work with them directly. We can even give your CPA their own Xero login, so you don’t have to worry about emailing back and forth or sending them your files.
If you don’t have a CPA, we can set you up with one we trust.

For much less than it costs to hire an employee, we will work with you in an ongoing partnership to provide all of your accounting and bookkeeping needs. It is our Commitment!
