Bookkeeping and accounting for Kendall businesses

Books closed every month, reviewed by a CPA, so you know what you made, what you owe, and what’s coming — and so tax time is a formality instead of a scramble.

The most common situation we see in Kendall is not “no bookkeeping.” It’s QuickBooks that was set up with good intentions, used for a few months, and then fell behind when the business got busy. Now there are 1,400 uncategorized transactions, the bank hasn’t been reconciled since spring, and the owner is making decisions off the bank balance. That works until it doesn’t — usually when a loan application, a tax deadline, or a partner dispute requires real financial statements.

Monthly bookkeeping for Kendall businesses

Our core bookkeeping service is a fixed monthly fee that covers categorizing and reconciling every bank and credit-card account, recording and reconciling merchant deposits (Square, Toast, Clover, Stripe, and the rest), managing accounts payable and receivable if you need it, tracking loans and equipment, producing a monthly profit-and-loss and balance sheet, and a short monthly check-in to walk through the numbers. Everything is reviewed by a CPA, which is the difference between books that look done and books that are right.

QuickBooks clean-up and catch-up

If you’re behind, we start with a clean-up project: a fixed-price engagement to rebuild the books from bank statements, fix the chart of accounts, clear the undeposited-funds and uncategorized balances, reconcile every account through today, and hand you accurate financials. Most Kendall clean-ups cover six months to three years and are finished within a few weeks. Then you move onto the monthly service so it never happens again.

QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop

We work in both, and we’ll set up a new QuickBooks Online file correctly if you don’t have one — chart of accounts built for your industry, bank feeds connected, sales tax configured for Florida, and payroll integrated. We also work with Xero and with the industry systems Kendall businesses actually run on: restaurant POS, dental and medical practice management software, contractor job-costing, and trucking dispatch software.

Industry-specific bookkeeping

  • Restaurants and food trucks — daily sales reconciliation to the POS, tip and payroll allocation, food-cost tracking, Florida sales tax on the DR-15.
  • Contractors and trades — job costing, subcontractor 1099 tracking, retainage, progress billing, and equipment depreciation.
  • Medical, dental, and chiropractic practices — insurance receivable reconciliation, equipment financing, and owner-compensation planning.
  • Real estate investors and property managers — property-level P&Ls, security deposits, escrow, and short-term-rental platform payouts.
  • Professional firms — trust and IOTA accounting for Kendall attorneys, retainer tracking, and partner distributions.

Financial statements that mean something

Bookkeeping is the input. The output is a set of financial statements you can use — for a bank loan, an SBA application, a lease on Kendall Drive, a buy-out of a partner, or just to know whether last month was good. Because a CPA reviews the books, we can also prepare compiled financial statements when a lender asks for them.

Bookkeeping & Accounting in Kendall — FAQs

How much is monthly bookkeeping for a Kendall small business?

It’s a fixed monthly fee based on transaction volume and the number of accounts — not hourly. A single-location business with one bank account and one card is at the low end; multiple locations, high-volume POS, or job costing cost more. We quote it after a free look at your QuickBooks.

My books are two years behind. Can you catch them up?

Yes. Catch-up and clean-up projects are our most common starting point with Kendall businesses. We rebuild from bank statements, reconcile everything through today, and quote the project as a fixed price before starting.

Do I have to use QuickBooks?

No. We prefer QuickBooks Online for most Kendall businesses because of bank feeds and integrations, but we work in QuickBooks Desktop and Xero too, and we’ll recommend whichever fits your business.

Will the same person handle my books every month?

Yes. You’ll have a dedicated bookkeeper and a CPA reviewing their work, and you can reach either one at our Kendall office — not a rotating offshore team.

Can you handle my bookkeeping if my business is outside Kendall?

Yes. Our office is in Kendall, but the work is cloud-based, and we serve businesses throughout Miami-Dade and beyond.
