What we do
Five services that cover the whole back office
Pick one, or hand us the lot. Everything below is delivered by the same two-person team you speak to on the phone — nothing is outsourced overseas.

Federal and Indiana returns for sole proprietors, partnerships, S-corps and single-member LLCs, plus quarterly estimates so April never becomes a shock.

Six months behind? Three years? We rebuild the ledger from statements and receipts, reconcile every account and hand you back a file your CPA will actually accept.
Clean-up details →CFO advisory
Quarterly sit-downs on pricing, margins, hiring and cash runway, with a 13-week cash forecast you can take to your banker or the SBA.
Advisory details →Software set-up
QuickBooks Online or Xero configured properly the first time: chart of accounts, bank feeds, receipt capture, sales-tax codes and staff training over a shared screen.

You get the same two people every month
Most firms hand you a portal and a junior you never meet. Here you work directly with David Jones, who owns the practice, and with our senior bookkeeper. We answer the phone during office hours, and email inside one business day.
- Flat monthly fee. Quoted in writing before we start, reviewed once a year, never billed by the minute.
- Deadline discipline. Month-end packs land by the tenth business day; payroll is filed on schedule or we credit the fee.
- Your data stays yours. You own the QuickBooks or Xero subscription. If you leave, you take the file with you.
- Local accountability. A real office on Sixth Avenue, a real Indiana phone number, and appointments in person if you want one.
How it works
Onboarding takes about two weeks
No long forms, no implementation fee. Here is exactly what happens after you get in touch.
Free review
A 30-minute call or office visit. We look at your current file, your volume and your deadlines, and tell you what shape the books are in.
Written quote
You receive a fixed monthly price and a scope letter within two business days. Nothing is signed until you are happy with both.
Set-up
We connect bank feeds, tidy the chart of accounts, import history and agree the documents you will send us each month.
Monthly rhythm
You send documents, we close the month, you receive the pack and a short summary of what changed and what to watch.
Client feedback
What Indianapolis owners say
Reviews collected from clients who agreed to be quoted by name. Full references available on request.
★★★★★
“We were nine months behind and terrified of the letter from the state. David rebuilt two years of books in six weeks and now we close on the eighth of every month.”
★★★★★
“Payroll for eleven staff used to eat my Sunday. Now I approve hours on Friday and it is done. The county withholding alone was worth the fee.”
★★★★★
“What I appreciate most is being told the truth. When our margin slipped they called me before I noticed it in the bank balance.”
Service area
Rooted in Indianapolis, working across Indiana
Our office sits on Sixth Avenue in the 46218 ZIP code, a short drive from Monument Circle. Around two thirds of our clients are within Marion County; the rest are spread across Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson and Boone counties, plus a handful in Fort Wayne and Bloomington who work with us entirely online.
Because we file Indiana returns every week, we stay current on county income tax rates, INTIME filing changes and Department of Workforce Development requirements — details out-of-state providers routinely miss.
