ASK AWAY...
WHICH SERVICE IS RIGHT FOR ME?
It depends on what your goals are and what stage of business you're in.
We're happy to build a playlist for you with the answers to just a few simple questions.
DO YOU SERVE CLIENTS IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS?
We serve clients all the way from Chi-Town, K.C. to Alabama, L.A., New York to Atlanta and Louisiana. That's the beauty of being a virtual bookkeeper and fractional CFO - we can serve clients all over the country. And while we love serving our local central Illinois clients, we still serve them in a virtual capacity.
CAN I STILL WORK WITH YOU IF I HAVE A BOOKKEEPER I LOVE?
Totally! You can book a custom budget build (in VIP week form) or we can maintain budget and cash flow for your and/or your clients OR we can meet quarterly for strategy sessions.
WHAT IF I DECIDE I DON'T NEED A SERVICE AFTER CHOOSING IT?
You can definitely opt out if you think a service is not for you. We require a four month lock-in to get in a flow state. If we get there are you still feel like a service is not for you, you can remove it at that time.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I APPLY?
We have an application process for all prospective bookkeeping clients. We want to ensure that our services are the right fit for you and that your agency is the right fit for us. If your application is approved, you'll get a proposal within two business days. If not, you'll get an email notifying you.
Once you've selected your package and signed your proposal, you'll receive a contract and first invoice. After that, onboarding will begin.
We always start with a month of catch-up and clean-up followed by three months of bookkeeping services.
WHO WORKS ON MY BOOKKEEPING?
At Recorded Bookkeeping you get a dedicated team depending on the services you choose. Monthly service clients get an Account Manager, Bookkeeper and our Founder, Frances does all of the high level budget work.
We do this for your benefit. Breaking up tasks ensures that our staff is working in their zone of genius AND also allows for internal checks and balances.
WHAT'S AN ONBOARDING FEE?
Onboarding fees range from $500 to $2000 depending on the level of work required. We always do a systems audit to look for more efficient ways to work through processes, and a category check and clean-up to ensure we're starting with accurate numbers.
If you have no current processes, or your bookkeeping is behind, the fee will reflect a higher amount.
We work exclusively with Quickbooks Online for a number of reasons, but at the forefront is so that you have access to your books whenever/wherever you may need. We don't gatekeep and your finances belong to your business - not to us. So if you're on a different platform, we may need to migrate over to QBO.
DO YOU FILE TAXES?
At this time, Recorded Bookkeeping does not have an accountant on staff, so we do not file taxes for our clients. That being said, we work closely with a few accountants and would be happy to recommend someone should the need arise.
DO YOU WORK WITH BUSINESS WHO ARE NOT IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY?
Absolutely! We love working with all sorts of creative business owners, no matter what industry you serve. Here are some examples of people we'd love to work with: photographers, videographers, stylists, marketers and social media managers, brand designers, etc.
If the match is right that's all that matters. Don't let your industry deter you from requesting a playlist customized to you and your business.
