My books are months behind. Can you still help?

Yes. Catch-up and clean-up work is common. We'll get prior months reconciled and corrected first, then move you onto a steady monthly close so you don't fall behind again.

Do you work in QuickBooks, or your own system?

We work primarily in QuickBooks Online and can also help you set it up or clean up an existing file. If you're on another platform, we'll talk through whether it's worth keeping or migrating.

What's the difference between bookkeeping and what my tax preparer does?

Bookkeeping is the year-round recording and reconciling that produces accurate financials; tax preparation uses those financials to file your return. Having both handled by one CPA practice means nothing gets lost in translation.

Will you handle sales tax and 1099s?

We track the data you need for California sales-and-use tax and for year-end 1099 filing as part of keeping your books accurate, and we'll flag deadlines so nothing slips.

How do I get my information to you each month?

Most clients connect their bank and card feeds so transactions flow in automatically, and share receipts and documents digitally. We keep the monthly lift on your side as light as possible.

Clean books are the foundation everything else sits on

When your books are accurate and current, every other financial decision gets easier. You know what you can spend, what you owe, and whether last month was actually profitable. When they're behind or sloppy, you're flying blind — and tax season turns into an expensive scramble to reconstruct a year you already lived through.

ADL keeps your books clean, categorized, and reconciled every month so the numbers are ready whenever you need them: for a loan application, a tax return, a pricing decision, or just a clear-eyed look at how the business is doing.

What monthly bookkeeping actually includes

Every month we reconcile your bank and credit-card accounts to the penny, categorize transactions correctly, and review for the small errors that compound — duplicate entries, miscategorized owner draws, transfers double-counted as income. We keep your chart of accounts sane instead of letting it sprawl into hundreds of categories nobody uses.

You get a clean set of financials — profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash position — delivered on a predictable schedule. More importantly, because a CPA is the one reviewing them, you get a heads-up when something looks off: margins slipping, a vendor cost creeping up, sales tax that's accruing faster than you expected.

A CPA reading your books, not just recording them

Plenty of services will record transactions. The difference here is that the person keeping your books understands what they mean for your taxes and your business. Categorization isn't just tidiness — it determines your deductions, your taxable income, and how defensible your return is if anyone ever asks questions.

That's especially true for California businesses juggling sales-and-use tax, 1099 contractor tracking, and the documentation the FTB and IRS expect. Getting it right monthly means there's nothing to untangle in April.

Built to hand off cleanly at tax time

Because the same practice handles your bookkeeping and understands tax, your year-end hand-off is seamless. No separate bookkeeper-to-preparer translation, no surprise adjustments, no "we'll need to redo Q1." The books are already built the way the return needs them.

Whether you're a sole proprietor who's fallen behind or an established LLC that wants a steady monthly close, we'll meet you where you are — including cleaning up a backlog before we start the regular cadence.
