Services

What we do for your business

Take one task off your plate or hand over the entire accounting function. Every service below can be engaged on its own, and the bundled options exist for owners who would rather not think about the books at all.

QuickBooks Online set-up & automation

A clean start is worth more than any amount of tidying up later. We configure QuickBooks Online around the way your business actually operates, so your reports mean something from the first month.

  • Set up the general ledger accounts
  • Set up the list of companies
  • Set up the product and services list
  • Set up the department list
  • Create the ad hoc reports you need

Full QuickBooks customized set-up — everything above, delivered as one engagement.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can I use just one service instead of everything?

Yes. Every item on this page can be engaged on its own. Many clients start with a QuickBooks Online set-up or payroll processing, then add services as they grow.

Which accounting standards do you follow?

Books and records are prepared based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and current accounting codifications, so your statements stand up with lenders, investors and auditors.

Do you work with start-ups?

Yes — that is precisely why Bright Star Bookkeeping LLC was founded. Our focus is small businesses and start-up companies that need real accounting expertise without a full-time hire.

Who actually prepares my books?

Accounting professionals with more than 20 years of experience, holding a bachelor's degree in accounting and a master's degree in business and accounting. Your work is not handed to an untrained data-entry clerk.

How quickly can I get an answer to a question?

We are available any time of the day for any question or concern you may have.

My books are already a mess. Can you fix them?

Yes. We regularly clean up and re-establish existing books before taking over the monthly cycle. Send us what you have and we will tell you what the clean-up involves.
