DC's business landscape moves fast — federal contractors, nonprofits, consultants, and hospitality operators all have different compliance needs. Capital Accounting Group keeps your books reconciled weekly so you're always ready for an audit, a grant report, or tax season.
Monthly bookkeeping means your numbers can be 4-5 weeks stale by the time you see them. If a customer didn't pay last week, you find out a month later. If your gross margin slipped, you find out a month later. If a vendor charged you twice, you find out a month later. By then, the moment to act is gone.
Weekly bookkeeping closes the gap. We pull and reconcile your bank accounts, credit cards, and merchant processors every week. Transactions get categorized within days, not weeks. Your monthly P&L and balance sheet are still produced — they just reflect actual reality instead of a guess based on incomplete data.
For most DMV small businesses, the cost difference between weekly and monthly bookkeeping is small. The decision-making difference is enormous. You can spot a cash flow problem before it becomes a crisis. You can catch billing errors while they're still fixable. You can make hiring or pricing decisions with current data instead of last month's data.
What's actually different about weekly bookkeeping?
Two things. First, frequency: we reconcile your bank accounts, credit cards, and merchant processors every week instead of every month. Second, cadence: by Friday of each week, you have a snapshot of where your business stood through the prior week — cash, A/R, gross profit, expense run rate. Most bookkeeping firms send you a monthly P&L 10-15 days after month-end, so the data is 5-6 weeks stale by the time you see it. Ours is a week stale at most.
Do you work with my existing accountant or CPA?
Yes — we handle the bookkeeping and your CPA handles the tax return. Most CPAs prefer this division because clean books make their job easier and faster. We deliver a tax-ready trial balance and supporting documentation by the deadline your CPA needs. If you don't have a CPA, we can also handle business and personal tax preparation in-house through our tax prep service.
How long does onboarding take?
Two weeks from the consultation call to the first weekly close. Week 1 is read-only access setup, chart of accounts review, opening balance reconciliation, and any catch-up cleanup if your books were behind. Week 2 is your first regular weekly cycle. After that, the rhythm is steady: we reconcile, you get reports, your CPA gets clean books at year-end.
