Accounting: Core
The foundation tier. Clean, reliable monthly accounting for a single entity. Bank and credit card reconciliations, a standard monthly close, monthly profit and loss and balance sheet, and basic email support. The disciplined baseline every other engagement builds on.
The Work
This is foundational monthly accounting delivered with discipline. Every month, your bank accounts and credit card accounts are reconciled against actual statements. Transactions are categorized correctly. A formal close is performed so the books are complete before the next month begins. Nothing carries over unfinished.
The deliverables are a monthly profit and loss statement and balance sheet that reflect reality. Basic email support is included when questions come up about your financials. This is the baseline that every other engagement at Kai Crest builds on.
Reconciliation
Reconciliation
Every bank account and credit card is reconciled monthly. This means matching your accounting records to your actual statements, catching discrepancies, and ensuring nothing is missing or duplicated. Reconciliation is how trust in your numbers gets built.
Monthly Close
Monthly Close
A standard monthly close ensures your books are complete each period. All transactions are recorded, categorized, and finalized. The result is financial statements that accurately reflect where your business stood at month end, ready for decisions and ready for your tax professional.
Why Structure Matters
Many businesses have someone handling the books. But the books are not actually closed each month. Transactions accumulate. Categorization drifts. When tax time arrives or a lender asks for financials, nobody is confident in what the numbers actually show.
Accounting with structure creates a different outcome. Clean books mean decisions get made with real information instead of rough estimates or memory. When your financial position is clear, you spend less time wondering and more time running your business.
Consistency
Consistency
Monthly accounting with a proper close creates rhythm. You know where you are each month. You can compare this month to last month, this quarter to last quarter, this year to last year, and trust the comparison because the underlying work is done the same way every time.
Tax Readiness
Tax Readiness
When your CPA or tax preparer needs financials, the financials exist. The scramble to reconstruct the year disappears. Your tax professional receives clean data, which means fewer questions, faster preparation, and often a lower bill for their work.
The Foundation For More
Accounting: Core is the foundation tier. For many single-entity businesses, this is exactly what they need. Clean books, reliable statements, and email support when questions arise. Pricing is per entity, and multi-entity situations with intercompany transactions, shared expenses, or consolidations carry a complexity premium to account for the additional work involved.
As a business grows or becomes more complex, the accounting work can grow with it. Accounting: Growth adds accrual adjustments and quarterly financial review meetings with Kalea. Accounting: Managed adds monthly financial review calls, basic KPI tracking, and priority support. The foundation is what makes either step possible.
Single Entity Clarity
