We work inside the tools you already use, or help you get started with the right ones
Clean books are the foundation, not the finish line. Every business is different. Pricing and scope are tailored on your free call. Here's what we help with.
Ongoing reconciliation, transaction categorization, and clean monthly books, done on a schedule, so nothing piles up.
Behind on reconciliations or dealing with a year of miscategorized transactions? We get your books caught up and accurate. Onboarding covers your first 30 days; anything further back is scoped and billed separately.
Clear P&L, cash flow, and job-costing reports, plus what they actually mean for your business: where you're profitable, where you're not, and what to do about it.
Not sure what software your business actually needs? We help you pick and set up the right tools, whether that's Jobber, QuickBooks, or a simple Excel system, so your business runs more efficiently as you grow.
Primarily working with trade businesses, but if you're a small business owner who just needs your books in order, let's talk.
Why Groundwork Books
Groundwork Books was founded by Jonathan: 14 years of hands-on experience, starting with 6 years in the U.S. Navy, followed by 8 years in the field doing electrical, generator, and gas line work. That background shapes how we work: we're not just recording what already happened, we implement the systems and strategy that keep your office running on its own, plus the numbers-driven advice on what to do next.
"I know what it's like to come home covered in grease and still have invoices to send. Groundwork Books exists so trade owners don't have to choose between the job and the books."
