How the monthly close works

We reconcile the accounts, categorize activity around your business, and prepare your monthly statements. Industry-specific records are reviewed as part of the agreed scope. If your books are behind, we discuss catch-up work before monthly service starts.

Do not see your industry?

We work with businesses across industries. Tell us what you sell, how you get paid and which numbers are hard to trust. We will discuss how your books should be set up.

Questions owners ask

Do I need separate bookkeeping if my business serves more than one industry?

Not necessarily. Start with the closest match and tell us how the business works. We agree on an account and reporting setup that reflects your operations.

Can you work in my current software?

Mispar works in QuickBooks or Xero. Tell us which POS, field-service or billing tools you use so we can review the records and exports available.

Will you file my taxes?

The monthly bookkeeping service produces tax-ready records for your tax professional. Any filing or advisory work needs its own agreed scope.
