How it works

Easy to start.

  2. Get set up

    New or months behind, I get your books current and QuickBooks Online set up or cleaned up. Every account is reconciled, so you can trust every number you see.

  3. Stay steady

    Each month I categorize every transaction, reconcile your accounts, and send a simple report. Questions between months? I’m easy to reach, and I answer in plain English.

About

Hi, I’m Sam.

Fort Collins local. Steady Ledger & Co is my business, so you’ll always work directly with me, not a call center.

When I’m not working on books, I’m usually writing and playing music.

I started Steady Ledger & Co to help local businesses thrive in what they love, without the tedious stuff weighing them down. Big companies can overcharge and stay impersonal; I’d rather give back to this community, one relationship at a time.

What would your bookkeeping cost?

Here's your ballpark estimate

Monthly bookkeeping

One-time catch-up for the months you're behind

Catching up is a one-time project with its own flat price, quoted in writing before I start. Once you're caught up, you just pay the monthly price.

Let's talk. Catch-up this size is quoted after a quick call.

Getting several months caught up is very doable. Because every catch-up this size is a little different, I'll look at it with you on your free 30-minute call, and then you'll get a flat project price in writing before any work starts.

Not sure if your books are current? That's very common. I'll take a quick look with you on the call, and if you need a catch-up, you'll get a flat project price in writing before any work starts.

Good news: you're likely in my starting range. Monthly bookkeeping starts as low as $150/mo.

Your business has a few bigger pieces, so this range is a rougher guide than usual. The free call is the best way to get an accurate number.

Based on your answers, this is about what you'd pay each month, as one flat monthly price.

For your exact price, book a free 30-minute call. We'll talk through your business, and within 2 business days you'll get a written proposal with one flat monthly price. You'll know exactly what you'll pay before any work starts.

What's included

  • Transactions categorized and accounts reconciled every month
  • Monthly reports (Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet) and a plain-language summary email

My no-surprises promise

You approve your price in writing before I start. No surprise charges, ever. Anything extra is quoted in writing first, and you get 30 days' notice before any price change.

Want a copy of your estimate? (optional)
