Questions from Washington DC business owners

Bookkeeping FAQ —
Washington DC

How is weekly bookkeeping different from monthly?+
Monthly reconciliation means your numbers can be 4–5 weeks stale. We reconcile every 7 days — so you always have a current picture of your cash, income, and expenses. Issues get caught fast, not a month later.
What accounting software do you use?+
We work exclusively with QuickBooks Online. If you're not set up yet, we'll handle the setup and migration for you.
Do I need to send anything every week?+
No. Once you grant us secure read-only access to your accounts, the weekly process runs without you needing to do anything. You get a clear summary report every Friday.
Does bookkeeping include tax filing?+
Bookkeeping keeps your records clean and tax-ready year-round. Tax preparation and filing is a separate add-on service — we handle both and can bundle them at your request.
Do you serve businesses in Georgetown and Capitol Hill?+
Yes — we serve small businesses throughout Washington DC, including Georgetown, Capitol Hill, Navy Yard, Columbia Heights, Shaw, Logan Circle, and nearby areas like Chevy Chase DC, Friendship Heights, Tenleytown, Brookland.
