Question 5

Do you file 1099s for businesses that use subcontractors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We help with 1099-NEC preparation for businesses that pay independent contractors. We also help ensure your records are properly organized to support your filing process.

Question 6

My accounting software looks like it's broken after an update. Can you fix it?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and it's probably not broken at all. Accounting software updates often change layouts and features, which can make things look confusing. We're trained on the latest software updates and know how to use the built-in correction tools to fix manual entry errors and clean up your books the right way — without starting over.

Question 7

Are you trained on the latest accounting software updates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We stay current with every accounting software update so you don't have to. When the software changes, we adapt — and we know how to use the internal tools inside your accounting software to correct problems at the source instead of re-entering everything manually.

Question 8

I messed up my books trying to do them myself. Can you help?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Most small business owners and freelancers aren't bookkeepers — and that's okay. If your books are messy from manual entries, we use the correction tools built into your accounting software to fix things cleanly and accurately. It's almost always fixable without starting from scratch.
