Monthly bookkeeping helps organize payment channels, expenses, and reconciliations so you have a clearer picture of your business. The exact accounts and cleanup scope are agreed before work begins.
A few quick answers. No income minimum or obligation.
How much did you actually make last month? Not what hit your bank account. What you made after supplies, booth rent, insurance, and that convention trip. If you can't answer that question confidently, your books need work.
Every financial decision you make starts with your numbers. Pricing, hiring, expanding, paying yourself. Without clean books, you're guessing. And guessing costs money.
Square at the shop. Venmo from a walk-in. Cash from a flash day. A bank transfer for a large custom piece. We reconcile every source so your revenue is accurately captured, whether you're a solo artist or running a multi-artist studio.
A generic bookkeeper lumps everything into "supplies." We break it down because the details matter at tax time:
If you run a multi-artist shop, we track every booth rent payment individually. You'll always know who's current, who's behind, and how much each station is generating. If you run a commission model, we track splits, manage payout records, and make sure everything reconciles for 1099 reporting.
Rent, utilities, insurance, licensing, equipment leases, software. These costs run whether you tattoo anyone or not. We track them separately so you always know your true break-even point.
A clear picture of where you stand. Revenue, expenses, and net profit, broken down so you can see exactly what's happening in your business. No accounting jargon. No confusing spreadsheets. Just the numbers you need to make smart decisions.
When your books are a mess, the consequences add up fast.
Starting scope: We review your existing books, payment sources, and available records to determine any cleanup period and recurring monthly work. Historical cleanup, payroll processing, sales-tax return filing, and tax preparation are discussed separately in your proposal when relevant. Pricing reflects the actual scope rather than an unverified website quote.
Tell us how you are paid and whether you operate solo or manage artists; there is no income minimum to ask whether this support fits.
Fit. Tell us whether you are an artist or shop owner, what you need help with, and the condition of your records.
Scope. We discuss which work belongs in bookkeeping, tax preparation, planning, or advisory and which items need separate review.
Fees and onboarding. If there is a fit, we discuss the records needed, proposed service scope, and pricing before a commitment. Cleanup and additional filings are evaluated separately.
