The Outsourced Bookkeeping Servicesthe month you can name out loud

Steven Palmieri, a Tax CFO and the Entrepreneur's CFO, keeps the month you can open, sets up payroll, and prepares the return from those same pages.

Start from this month
Twelve month folders stand in a row, and March is the one pulled out, the month an owner can name.

Put the unfinished month here

You will be talking to the Steven Palmieri practice.

The month already happened

An accountant can total the bills that already posted and the deposits that already cleared. That count is what already happened. The Tax CFO decides what happens next, which bill gets a home before the tenth, whether owner money stays out of sales, and what October can still change on the return.

Six stops before a month is finished

Tap a stop. It names what we look at before that month is called finished.

  1. A deposit that posted twice

    One company and one bank

    The register and the statement still disagree

    We clear the duplicate before anyone calls that month finished.

  2. The page you can hold by the tenth

    An owner who wants last month put away

    Bills, categories, and the bank still have to agree

    The tenth is a date we keep, not a mood about the file.

  3. Sales tax on the twentieth

    A company that collects sales tax

    The tax you collected has to sit in a liability

    We want that line visible before the twentieth arrives.

  4. The file that shows up in March

    An owner who forwards a PDF at tax time

    A PDF is an export until the months inside it tie

    The return is prepared from months that already closed.

  5. The January estimate

    An owner who pays federal estimates

    The last estimate of the year still has a date

    We put that date on the same calendar as the monthly close.

  6. Choices that can still move this year

    An owner looking at the year while it is still open

    Some months are closed and some are not

    October is when a choice can still change the return.

Who answers the month

Steven Palmieri is the Tax CFO on these pages, the Entrepreneur's CFO. The company can sit anywhere. The call is how we keep the month together. We keep the month with you.

Ask for the tenth

Tell us which month is still open. A sentence is enough.

Open the longer note on a closed month

What a finished month actually holds

A menu can list bookkeeping, payables, receivables, and reporting for years and never show you last month. The useful turn is a date. By the tenth, the bank agrees, ordinary purchases have a home, the bills are entered through the last day, and the money people owe you matches the deposits that actually cleared.

Money the owner put in is marked as owner money, so it never sits inside sales. A feed can post one deposit twice, and the month stays open until that duplicate is gone. Uncleared items older than a season get a decision, still out, void, or issued again, instead of living forever on a list nobody reads.

Federal estimates, when you pay them, sit on four dates a calendar someone will open, mid April, mid June, mid September, and mid January. Sales tax you collected, where a state has a tax, sits in a liability and the twentieth is on that same calendar for most monthly filers. A town rate is copied from the lookup for that town. A guessed rate never goes on the page.

Payroll is set up. Registrations, the provider, and the deposit schedule are put in place. Once setup is done, payday stays with the provider you already run. The return is prepared from the months that already closed, so March is not a second rebuild of the year.

The login stays in your name. When the work stops, the file, the bank connections, and the subscription come back to you. A signed audit, review, or compilation is not part of this. The boundary lives on the disclosures page, in one place.

Open what we refuse to call finished

Names that are not a month

Full service is a feeling. A package name is a feeling. A PDF emailed in March is a file. None of them say whether the bank matched, whether a holding account is empty, or whether a vendor still has no tax id for the forms that come in January.

We would rather show you one page you can point at than add another noun to the menu. If the honest answer is that the month is already in good shape, we say that on the call.
