I'm Stella. I do monthly bookkeeping, catch-up cleanup, and US accounting support for small businesses, CPA firms, and startups. No jargon, no judgment about how far behind you are — just books you can actually trust.
Every engagement is month-to-month. If it's not working, you walk — and your files come with you.
Reconciliation, categorization, and clean financial statements delivered by the 5th business day. The boring, essential stuff — done right.
Eight months behind? Two years? It's genuinely fine — it's half of what I do. Fixed one-time quote so you know the cost upfront.
Vendors paid on time, customers chased politely but persistently, and an aging report that tells you exactly where the cash is.
Gusto, ADP, or QuickBooks Payroll — processed, posted, and reconciled. Contractors and 1099s tracked all year, not scrambled in January.
Monthly management reports written like a human wrote them. Three numbers that matter, what changed, and what I'd keep an eye on.
I don't file returns, but I make filing easy: tied-out books, a clean year-end package, 1099s ready, and sales tax reconciled.
LLCs, S-corps, sole props, e-commerce sellers, contractors. You're good at the actual work and you've been doing the books at 11pm on Sundays. Let's stop that.
Overflow bookkeeping and cleanup under your brand, on your workpaper standards. NDA signed before we start. I make your firm look good and stay invisible.
Accrual books, deferred revenue, AP/AR at volume, investor-ready reporting. When someone asks about runway, you should already know the answer.
A free 30-minute call about where things stand. You leave with a clear scope and a flat quote, whether or not you hire me.
I review your file, flag what needs fixing, and set up secure access. You approve the chart of accounts and close calendar.
Backlog cleared, first close run. You get statements plus a short note explaining exactly what I changed and why.
Books closed by the 5th, reports in your inbox, questions answered in a day. The kind of boring you want in a bookkeeper.
No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Final quote depends on volume and complexity — these are honest starting points.
Sole proprietors and new LLCs.
Established businesses and agencies.
CPA firms and high-volume operations.
Catch-up work is quoted separately as a one-time project — usually $75–$95 per month of backlog.
Ten-plus years inside US GAAP books — first at an accounting firm handling small-business clients across retail, e-commerce, and services, now running my own practice with a deliberately small client list.
Most people find me after being bounced between junior staff at a bigger firm, or after opening QuickBooks and realizing nothing's been reconciled since March. I'm not going to make you feel bad about it. I'm going to fix it, and then keep it fixed.
We were fourteen months behind and dreading the conversation. Stella had us caught up in six weeks and found $9,400 in expenses we'd never categorized. Our CPA said it was the cleanest file he'd seen all year.
She works to our standards, hits every deadline, and I have never once had to chase her for a status update. Across twenty white-label clients. That's genuinely rare.
Our books close on the third now. Before Stella, monthly numbers showed up around the 20th and I didn't fully trust them. Fundraising got so much less painful.
No — I'm a bookkeeper, not a CPA or EA. What I do is make filing painless: reconciled accounts, tied-out balances, and a year-end package your preparer can work from directly. Don't have a CPA? I'll refer you to one I trust.
Read-only or accountant-level access to QuickBooks Online or Xero, with view-only bank feeds. I never need your banking password. Documents move through an encrypted portal, and every engagement starts with a signed agreement and NDA.
Honestly, no. About half my clients arrive months or years behind. I review the file, quote the cleanup as a fixed project so there's no open-ended bill, and then move you onto a normal monthly rhythm.
Yes — it's all I do. GAAP-basis books, US chart of accounts, 1099-NEC prep, multi-state sales tax reconciliation, and coordination with US payroll providers.
Within one business day, always. Urgent things — a loan application, due diligence — get same-day attention.
No. Month-to-month with 30 days' notice. Your files are always yours to take.
