The Accounting EffectYour books are something you can understand, and we can help.
Clean books, one flat monthly fee agreed before we start, and helping you understand your financials, every time.
You’ll know your options before we begin.
Everything is reconciled through March. There are just a couple of things for you to review. Let me know a good time to touch base.
From this… to this.
Here’s what the first ninety days with us usually looks like.
We already speak your language.
Every industry has its own challenges. We can help.
Don’t see yourself on the list? That’s fine. If you send invoices and pay bills, we can help. The industry just changes the vocabulary.
Our Proven Bookkeeping Process
Six steps. No mystery, no jargon, and you always know what’s next.
Discovery Call
Free, 30–45 minutes. We listen to how your business actually runs and tell you straight whether we’re a fit.
QuickBooks Audit
An honest read of your file. You get a list of what needs to be done to get your books in order.
Cleanup & Setup
We fix what’s behind and rebuild the setup so it stays fixed. One time, done properly.
Monthly Rhythm
Reconciled, categorized, closed, reported. Same schedule every month, so you stop wondering.
Quarterly Review
We sit down together and talk about what the numbers are telling you, in plain English.
Year-End Handoff
Your CPA gets a clean, complete file. You get your January evenings back.
You’ll always know who you’re talking to.
No call center, no rotating account manager. Just us.
Rachel Karnoscak
Rachel founded The Accounting Effect in 2007 and has run it ever since. She’s personable, friendly, and quick to laugh, which is not what most people expect from a phone call about their books. When she’s not in the numbers she’s out on her five acres, usually with two dogs and two daughters somewhere nearby.
Catie Hein-Carter
Catie left the corporate world for accounting in 2021 and runs everything behind the scenes, from the monthly reports to the systems that keep them on schedule. Ask her what she likes about the job and you’ll hear two things: working alongside her sister and still having a life outside of work.
One flat monthly fee, agreed before we start. No surprise invoices, ever.
You don’t get billed for asking a question. Call us, email us, forward us the weird message from the bank. It’s all in the fee you already agreed to.
Let’s just talk about it.
Thirty minutes, free, no obligation. Bring your messiest question. We’ve heard worse.
