Do you work with Naples real estate agents and brokers?

Yes. Real estate is one of our most common industries — commission tracking, referral splits, transaction fees, and Schedule C prep are all standard for us.

Can you handle QuickBooks cleanup from prior years?

Yes. Catch-up and cleanup projects are quoted separately from monthly service. Most cleanups take two to four weeks depending on transaction volume and how far back we need to go.

What if I use something other than QuickBooks?

We specialize in QuickBooks Online. If you're on Xero, Wave, or spreadsheets, we can migrate you to QBO as part of onboarding — usually the right move for growing Naples businesses.

Bookkeeping in Naples, FL: What Small Businesses Should Expect

From Old Naples boutiques to North Naples contractors, here's what a proper bookkeeping engagement actually delivers each month — and how to tell if yours is doing the job.

Naples businesses run the full gamut: seven-figure real estate brokerages, single-owner interior design studios, luxury service providers, waterfront restaurants, and everything in between. What ties them together is that most owners have never seen what real bookkeeping looks like — they've only seen the DIY QuickBooks version.

What you should get every month

Fully reconciled bank and credit card accounts
A clean Profit & Loss you can actually read
A Balance Sheet that ties out
A short note flagging anything unusual
Books closed within 10 business days of month-end

QuickBooks Online setup that scales

A lot of Naples businesses start with a QuickBooks file that was set up by whoever was available — a spouse, an office manager, the previous owner. The chart of accounts is a mess, categories don't match how the owner actually thinks about the business, and reporting is useless. A Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor rebuilds the file so the reports answer real questions: which service line is profitable, which client is worth keeping, which month you can afford to hire.

Local knowledge still matters

Florida has no state income tax, but sales tax, tourist development tax on short-term rentals, and 1099 reporting all trip people up. A bookkeeper who works with Collier County businesses every day already knows the traps.

How to switch bookkeepers without pain

Free discovery call to scope the work
Diagnostic review of your existing QuickBooks file
Cleanup quote (if needed) before the monthly engagement starts
Handoff of prior records — no long-term contract required
