Why we don't offer Quarterly Bookkeeping or Tax Preparation?

Quarterly bookkeeping often means working with outdated financial information. When books are only reviewed every three months, errors, cash flow issues, and miscategorized transactions can go unnoticed for far too long. This delay makes it harder to understand how your business is truly performing and can lead to surprises at tax time or when making important financial decisions.

At Queen of Bookkeeping, we believe your financials should empower you—not confuse you. That’s why we offer monthly and weekly bookkeeping services that keep your numbers accurate, current, and meaningful. With consistent oversight, you gain clarity, confidence, and the ability to make informed decisions that support sustainable growth in your business.

Strong checks and balances are essential to maintaining accurate financial records and protecting the integrity of your business. Keeping bookkeeping and tax preparation separate ensures that no single person is responsible for both recording transactions and filing taxes, which reduces errors, prevents oversights, and strengthens financial accountability. At Queen of Bookkeeping, we focus on maintaining clean, accurate books throughout the year so your CPA or tax professional can confidently prepare your returns. This separation creates clarity, compliance, and peace of mind, so you can trust your numbers and make informed decisions without second-guessing your financials.

How to hire a Bookkeeper!

Questions you should ask when considering a Bookkeeper for your business:

- What is the average response time from the Bookkeeper for my request and inquiries for my business? Melanie usually will reply to your emails within 24 hours.
- Does the Bookkeeper offer tax consulting and preparation in their services for your business? Melanie can help with some tax consulting and advising but she does not do the preparation because she believes in strong checks and balances ensuring your books are taken care of the best way possible.
