Antioch, California
Bookkeeping Services for Small Businesses in Antioch, CA
Many Antioch business owners keep their own books for years: evenings in QuickBooks, a shoebox of receipts, and a promise to catch up at tax time. Imarah Bookkeeping takes that work off your plate with dependable monthly bookkeeping, handled by an experienced bookkeeper.
We work remotely, so there's no need to drive anywhere or hand over paper files. You get a consistent monthly process, accurate reports, and a bookkeeper you can actually reach.
Services in Antioch
From behind to caught up and current.
If your books have fallen behind, we usually start with cleanup, then move you onto a steady monthly routine.
Cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping
Months of uncategorized transactions, unreconciled accounts, or duplicate entries are sorted out and brought current, so you have a clean starting point.
Monthly bookkeeping
Every month, transactions are categorized, accounts reconciled, and the books closed — so they never pile up again.
QuickBooks Online help
Help with setup, chart of accounts, bank feeds, and fixing the things that went sideways in your QuickBooks file.
One-on-one QuickBooks training
One-on-one QuickBooks training at your pace, covering the tasks you actually do: entering bills, categorizing transactions, reading reports, and keeping the file tidy between month-ends.
Bank and credit-card reconciliations
Every account matched to its statement each month, so your balances are right and errors are caught early.
Month-end close and reporting
A Profit & Loss statement and Balance Sheet each month, plus a basic financial summary you can read in minutes.
Payables, receivables and payroll support
Accounts payable and receivable support, and payroll support where appropriate — discussed and scoped during your consultation.
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $500/month. See what's included or view all bookkeeping services.

I already use QuickBooks but don't trust it. What then?
+
We can review your QuickBooks file, correct the setup and categorization, and offer one-on-one training so you understand what you're looking at.
How much does monthly bookkeeping cost?
+
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $500/month. Final pricing depends on transaction volume, number of accounts, payroll requirements, additional services, and bookkeeping complexity.
Do you prepare taxes?
