#1 Bookkeeper in Elk Grove Village, IL
Monthly and catch-up bookkeeping for shops, distributors and small businesses in Elk Grove Village, Illinois.
Elk Grove Village Bookkeeping for Busy Business Owners
Elk Grove Village is home to the largest contiguous industrial park in the United States: about six square miles on the western edge of O'Hare, with thousands of businesses and hundreds of manufacturers. Most of those businesses aren't big corporations. They're machine shops, fabricators, distributors, freight and logistics companies, contractors and the service businesses that support them. When the shop floor or the dock is busy, bookkeeping is the first thing to slide. Invoices go out late, vendor bills pile up and nobody is sure what each job actually made. We keep your books reconciled and current every month, so the numbers are there when you need to quote a job, talk to your bank or plan for a slow quarter.

Monthly Bookkeeping Services in Elk Grove Village, IL
Monthly bookkeeping means your books are closed every month, not once a year. Transactions are categorized weekly, straight from your bank feeds. The month-end close covers every bank and credit card reconciliation, followed by your profit and loss statement and balance sheet. Anything unclear comes to you as a question, never a guess, so your cash flow and margins are based on real numbers.
For a machine shop or fabricator in the business park, that means material purchases and vendor bills are recorded against the right jobs, so you can see your margin by customer. For a freight broker or trucking company near Busse Road, it means carrier payments, fuel and customer invoices are matched every month, and slow-paying customers stand out. For a distributor near Devon Avenue, it means inventory purchases, freight-in and customer payments are recorded consistently, so your cost of goods sold is accurate. Elk Grove Village straddles Cook and DuPage counties, so the sales tax rate you charge depends on which side your business is on, and we record what you collect to match.
We work only in QuickBooks Online, and we're ProAdvisors. If your file has grown messy over the years, we rebuild the chart of accounts, bank feeds and bank rules before monthly work starts, and job costing runs on QuickBooks Online Plus or higher. You'll have a dedicated bookkeeper on your account. Plans start at $300 a month depending on volume and complexity, and accounts payable and receivable can be added for businesses that run on net terms.
Timely
You need to know your numbers while they’re relevant in making decisions. We guarantee to get you your monthly reports and books on time, or you don’t pay. We’re confident in our abilities and we prioritize keeping bookkeeping current.
Accurate
Accuracy is the foundation of everything we do. Our business, and yours, relies on us to be detail-oriented, and we take that very seriously with every transaction, reconciliation, and report.
Communicative
As everything runs smoothly, the less you hear from us, the better. But, we always put communication first and collaborate with you to solve any problems or questions that arise.

Who We Work With as Elk Grove Village Bookkeepers
Looking for bookkeeping near me in Elk Grove Village? We provide outsourced bookkeeping services throughout the village and the 60007 ZIP code, from the business park on the O'Hare side of town to the shops near Biesterfield Road. Our best fit is owner-operated shops and service companies where the owner splits time between the floor, the trucks and the office, whether they're catching up on QuickBooks over weekends, running a year or more behind, or growing to the point where pricing and loans need reliable monthly numbers. We work with machine shops, fabricators, distributors, freight brokers, trucking companies, contractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC companies, auto repair shops, cleaning companies and many other small businesses, and the job is always the same: books reconciled, closed every month and ready for your CPA.
Catch-up and Cleanup Bookkeeping in Elk Grove Village
We often hear from Elk Grove Village businesses when a lender asks for financial statements. A manufacturer applies for an equipment loan, a contractor with a yard off Oakton Street needs a line of credit, or a growing distributor wants to bring on a partner, and the books aren't ready. Sometimes the office person who kept QuickBooks left, and the records since then live in a pile of invoices and bank statements.
Catch-up bookkeeping starts with your QuickBooks file and bank statements. Once we see how deep the backlog goes, you get a quote and a timeline. Then we work through it: categorizing the uncategorized, fixing errors and duplicates, and reconciling every bank, credit card and loan account to your statements. The end result is a clean set of financial statements your CPA or bank can work from. Staying on monthly bookkeeping means you're ready the next time someone asks for them.

Why Choose Us

Your books are closed and your reports are delivered on time every month, or that month is free, and there are no long-term contracts.
We grew up around our dad's masonry contracting business, so job schedules, material costs and customers who pay late aren't new to us. We know the books are usually the last thing an owner gets to after a long day. We're based in Chicago and do the work in QuickBooks Online, so whether you're tucked in the business park or near Alexian Brothers, there's no fighting Kennedy traffic and nothing to drop off. One free call is enough for us to understand your business and give you a price.
