What's included

Everything your books need — nothing you pay extra for

Monthly Bookkeeping

Every transaction categorized and your books closed on a clean monthly cycle.

Built for New York

We understand New York margins

Rent is brutal, payroll is tight, and the margin between a good month and a bad one is thinner here than almost anywhere. That is exactly why your books need to be current — not reconstructed in April. We keep them clean every month so you can see the number that actually matters while you can still do something about it.

Shaun Neal Founder

Hi, I'm Shaun Neal. For more than 30 years I've built and led the financial systems behind fintech companies, banks, and payment platforms — work where every number has to reconcile and every record has to stand up to an auditor.

My career has centered on regulated finance: payments, fraud controls, and compliance programs spanning PCI and FFIEC audits and KYC, BSA, and AML workflows. I know exactly what clean, defensible books look like — and how to build them without the enterprise price tag.

Now I bring that same discipline to small businesses across New York City, working fully remotely so a café in Astoria and a design studio in Tribeca get the same accurate, audit-ready books and clear monthly reporting — at a price that actually makes sense.
