The cost of falling behind
Messy books cost you money, time and sleep long before tax season arrives.
Most owners keep their books in whatever hours are left at the end of the week, so transactions pile up, accounts drift out of balance and decisions get made on numbers nobody has checked.
Missed deductions and tax surprises
Uncategorized expenses become write offs you never claim, and a scrambled year end often ends in penalties or an overpayment.
Cash flow you are guessing at
When accounts go months without a reconciliation, your software and your bank tell 2 different stories and you end up planning around the wrong one.
Owner hours lost to receipts
Every evening spent sorting receipts and fighting with accounting software is an evening you could give to customers, your team or your family.

Short, direct answers to the questions we hear most from small business owners in Brookshire, Katy and Houston.
Have a question about your own books that is not listed here? Call us at (832) 384-4836 and we will answer it directly.
Call (832) 384-4836Is outsourcing my bookkeeping worth the cost?
For most small businesses it is, because outsourced bookkeeping usually costs less than the missed deductions, late penalties and owner hours that come with doing it yourself. It also gives you back time to put into the work that grows your business.
What if my books are already behind or disorganized?
Catching up books that have fallen behind is one of the most common projects we take on. Many new clients start with a cleanup and move into monthly bookkeeping once everything is current.
What types of businesses does Sarah Dunham Group work with?
We work with small business owners across many industries, including contractors, service businesses, retail shops and consulting practices, set up as sole proprietorships, LLCs, S corporations, partnerships and C corporations.
What accounting software do you use?
We work primarily in QuickBooks and set it up to fit the tools your business already uses whenever possible.
Should my business be an LLC, S corporation or C corporation?
