Accounting Support for Established Small Businesses
Reliable Books. Clear Reports. Better Decisions.
Established businesses need more than transactions entered into QuickBooks. They need accurate books, reconciled accounts, understandable reports, and an accounting process that keeps up with the business.
Stirn & Associates provides ongoing accounting and bookkeeping support for established, operating businesses. Services are built around the company's actual needs, from monthly bookkeeping and reporting to accounts payable, accounts receivable, sales tax, payroll support, and accounting-system assistance.
Monthly service starts at $500 per month once the books are current and ready for ongoing service. We review and bill any initial cleanup, catch-up bookkeeping, reconciliation corrections, or historical repair work separately. This is part of our Accounting Clean-up and Stabilization services.
MONTHLY ACCOUNTING, BUILT AROUND THE BUSINESS
The Right Mix of Services, Without Paying for What You Don’t Need
This service is for established, operating businesses. It is not designed for startups or newly formed companies.
New businesses should begin with our New Business Setup service.
No two businesses have the same accounting needs. Some need straightforward monthly bookkeeping and reconciliations. Others need customer billing, accounts payable, sales tax support, payroll coordination, reporting, or help keeping QuickBooks organized as the business grows.
Our monthly service plans are built around the work your business actually requires, with additional services added as needed.
OUR SMALL BUSINESS SERVICES
Accounting Services Built Around Your Business Needs
-
Stay on top of what your business owes. Support can include vendor bills, payment tracking, outstanding balances, and organization of the accounts payable process. We support QBO/IES Bill Pay.

Receive clear financial reports that help you understand how the business is performing. Reporting can be tailored to the information you actually need to manage the company and make decisions.

For businesses that need more detail than a company-wide profit and loss statement, we can help organize accounting by project, job, department, location, class, or other meaningful areas of the business.
-
Monthly review helps identify missing transactions, unusual balances, reconciliation issues, and other items that should be addressed before the accounting period is considered complete.
-
Build a practical budget based on how your business actually operates, then use it throughout the year to compare planned results with actual performance.
Support may include:
Annual operating budgets
Revenue and expense planning
Budget-to-actual reporting
Variance review
Department, class, project, or location budgets
Cash planning
Forecast updates as conditions change
Management reporting to help explain where results are ahead of or behind plan
The goal is to make the budget a working management tool, not a spreadsheet that gets created once and ignored.
-
Support for businesses with sales tax obligations, including review of taxable activity, organization of sales tax information, and assistance with the reporting and filing process.
-
Ongoing assistance with QuickBooks Online and Intuit Enterprise Suite, including accounting setup, reporting structure, workflow improvements, troubleshooting, and changes needed as the business evolves. This also includes integration of 2nd party apps.
-
We can help evaluate and set up a payroll solution that works with your accounting system and business needs. This may include Intuit payroll services, Paychex, or another appropriate provider, along with employee setup, payroll accounting, time tracking, reporting, workflow, and training.
This includes setup and integration of QuickBooks Time for businesses that need employee time connected to payroll, projects, jobs, or other accounting activity. -
Training and practical support for owners and employees who work in the accounting system, along with improvements to how financial information moves through the business.
-
Help getting the accounting records organized for year-end and coordinating financial information with your CPA or tax professional when needed.
Every business is different. Your monthly service plan is built around the accounting work your company actually needs, with services selected based on your activity, workflow, and reporting requirements.
PRICING & ENGAGEMENT
Clear Scope. Clear Pricing.
Ongoing monthly accounting services start at $500 per month.
Your monthly fee is based on the size and activity of the business, transaction volume, number of accounts, and the services included in your plan.
Before monthly services begin, we review the current accounting file and confirm:
Which services are needed
Whether the books are current and ready for ongoing service
What responsibilities remain with the business
What will be included in the monthly scope
The monthly fee for the agreed services
If the accounting file requires cleanup before ongoing service can begin, that work is reviewed, scoped, and billed separately. Monthly service begins once the books are in condition for regular ongoing accounting support.
