Why monthly bookkeeping beats annual catch-up
The single most common — and most expensive — bookkeeping mistake we see in Billings is waiting until tax season to reconcile a year's worth of transactions. It costs 3–5x more than monthly bookkeeping would have, and by then it's too late to actually plan the tax bill. The strategy window closed on December 31.
Monthly bookkeeping fixes both problems. Your books are current, so you know where the business stands every month. And by the time tax planning conversations start in Q4, the numbers are already trustworthy.
QuickBooks Online, done right
We're QuickBooks Online specialists. That means proper chart of accounts, clean rules, correct sales tax setup, and — for owners who want to stay hands-on — a file that's easy for you to work in. If you're on Desktop or a different platform, we handle migrations and cleanups too.
What Billings owners get from a real bookkeeper
One number that's always correct: what your business made. Reports that show what changed month-over-month and why. A tax preparer who already has the numbers they need in March. And a bank or SBA lender who takes your financials seriously when it's time to grow.
Frequently asked questions
- How much does bookkeeping cost in Billings, MT?
- Monthly bookkeeping at Marlow Accounting starts at $300/month, all-inclusive. Price is fixed monthly based on transaction volume and complexity — never hourly, never surprise invoices.
- What's included in monthly bookkeeping?
- Transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliations, monthly profit & loss and balance sheet reports, QuickBooks Online subscription, and unlimited email support. Payroll is a separate add-on or bundled into our Complete plan.
- Do you work with QuickBooks Online or Desktop?
- We're QuickBooks Online specialists, and we also handle QuickBooks Desktop cleanup and conversion. If you're on another platform (Xero, FreshBooks, Wave), we can migrate you or work with what you have.
- My books are behind. Can you catch me up?
- Yes. Catch-up and cleanup bookkeeping is one of the most common projects we take on. We diagnose the file, quote a flat cleanup fee, rebuild it, then move you onto a monthly plan going forward.
- Why not do bookkeeping myself?
- You can — for a while. Most owners get to the point where a wrong categorization is costing more in taxes than a bookkeeper costs in fees, or the time spent on QuickBooks is worth more spent on the business. That's usually the tipping point.
