Bookkeeping for small & growing US businesses

Books that balance, numbers you understand, and a person you can actually email.

I'm Sam, a freelance bookkeeper for property managers and landlords, service businesses, online stores and the CPA firms that serve them. Every month I reconcile your accounts, close the books and explain the numbers in plain English.

Who I help

Different businesses, the same goal: books you can trust

I work with a few kinds of businesses and learn how each one actually makes money, whether that's rent, client invoices or online orders.

Property management companies

20 to 500 doors. Trust accounting, owner statements, vendor bills and a month-end close your owners can rely on.

Real estate investors & landlords

One rental or fifty, across several LLCs. Clean per-property books, deposit tracking and a year-end package your CPA will thank you for.

Service businesses

Agencies, consultants, contractors, clinics and other service firms. Invoicing and receivables kept current, expenses sorted, and a clear view of what each month actually earned.

E-commerce & online stores

Sellers on Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, WooCommerce and similar. Sales, fees, refunds and payouts matched to your bank, with inventory and cost of goods tracked, so you know your real margin.

CPA & tax firms

Overflow or white-label bookkeeping for your clients, so your team can focus on tax and advisory work, especially from January to April.

Not sure you fit?

If your books live in QuickBooks Online, Xero or NetSuite, I can most likely help. Send me a short note and I'll tell you honestly.

About

Hi, I'm Sam.

I'm a freelance bookkeeper working remotely with US clients: property managers and landlords, service businesses and e-commerce sellers, and the CPA firms behind them. I work in QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, AppFolio and Yardi, so I can usually step into your setup without changing how your team works.

My work is hands-on, month after month: reconciling trust and operating accounts for rental portfolios, keeping invoices and receivables current for service firms, and matching marketplace payouts, fees and refunds for online sellers. When I take on a messy set of books, I find where things went off track, fix them, and set up a simple routine that keeps them clean.

I keep my client list small on purpose. When you email me, you get me, not a ticket number. My job is to make your month-end feel boring, in the best way: everything reconciled, the numbers making sense, and no surprises for your CPA in April.

I'm a bookkeeper, not a CPA. I work alongside your tax preparer and make their job easier.

FAQ

Good questions people ask

Do you only work with real estate?

No. Real estate is one of my specialties, but I also keep books for service businesses (agencies, consultants, contractors, clinics) and e-commerce sellers.

Do you work in my software?

Most likely. I work in QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, AppFolio and Yardi. For online stores, I reconcile sales data from platforms like Shopify, Amazon or Etsy into your books. If you use something else, ask me. Most systems follow the same logic.

What's included in the free health check?

I review one month of your books (or your trust account, for property managers) and send a short report: what looks right, what doesn't, and what I'd fix first. You're under no obligation to hire me.

How do you access my books securely?

You add me as a user inside your accounting or property software, with the access level you choose. I never need your bank login, and you can remove my access at any time.

Are you a CPA? Do you file taxes?

No. I'm a bookkeeper. I keep your books clean and give your CPA a ready-to-use year-end package. Tax filing and tax advice stay with your CPA.

Where are you based, and what hours do you work?

I work remotely and keep to US business hours, so you can reach me during your day.

Is there a contract?

Monthly packages are month-to-month. Catch-up projects get a fixed quote, agreed before any work starts.

I'm months behind. Can you still help?

Yes, catch-up work is common. I'll review where things stand and give you a fixed price to bring the books current.
