About

A business owner first. A bookkeeper because it matters.

I'm Jake Felstow. I run businesses myself, and I do this work because I've seen firsthand what organized finances change for an owner. When the numbers are right, decisions get easier.

For the past five years I've kept books across construction, food, retail, services, and more. Different industries run very differently, and I bring that range to every set of books I manage. Current or years behind, the goal is the same: numbers you can actually use.

  • 01Personal, hands-on service. Not a faceless firm.
  • 02Five years of bookkeeping experience.
  • 03QuickBooks Online trained, and it is the only tool I work in.
  • 04Generalist across many industries.
  • 05Behind on the books? That is welcome here too.
How I Work

Four steps. No surprises.

The whole point is that you always know what is happening with your books and what it costs.

STEP 01

We talk first

A short, no-pressure discovery call. I learn your business, your setup, and what's in the way. No commitment.

STEP 02

You get a plan

A clear proposal with exact scope, pricing, and any cleanup needed up front. Nothing you didn't ask for.

STEP 03

Clean baseline

Secure access, connected accounts, and any catch-up work done so we start reconciled.

STEP 04

Monthly rhythm

Categorize, reconcile, close, deliver. Plus a check-in so the numbers mean something to you.

Services

What I help with

Pricing

Flat monthly fee. Full stop.

Ongoing bookkeeping is a flat monthly rate. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Most clients land in one of three tiers.

Essentials

$250–$450 /mo

Sole proprietors and simple setups. A few accounts and straightforward monthly books.

Growth

$800–$1,500 /mo

Higher volume, payroll, job or class costing, or multiple entities.

Cleanup and catch-up work is quoted as a fixed-price project after a quick look at your books, so you know the full cost before we start. Every engagement is scoped to your business. We'll confirm exact pricing together after our call.

Beyond the monthly books

For owners who want to turn their numbers into decisions:

  • Cash flow analysis & forecasting from $600/mo
  • Controller services from $1,500/mo
  • Fractional CFO custom, let's talk
