Bookkeeping for Cole County Businesses

Monthly bookkeeping and payroll for Cole County businesses. Serving Jefferson City and surrounding areas from our Versailles office.

Bookkeeping for Cole County

Cole County runs on steady employment and steady business. Jefferson City brings state government, and that brings contractors, professional services firms, and all the retail and restaurants that serve the daily workforce. Whether you’re bidding state projects or running a shop downtown, your books need to be accurate and current.

We provide bookkeeping services for Cole County businesses from our office in Versailles, about 30 minutes south. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, catch-up work, and the ongoing maintenance that keeps your financial records matching reality. We specialize in QuickBooks Online, which means your numbers are live and accessible instead of stuck on a desktop somewhere.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed every month. You get P&L and balance sheet reports that reflect what actually happened. No three-month lag wondering where the money went.

Bookkeeping Cleanup

Behind on your books? That’s how most relationships start. We clean up months or years of backlog, get everything accurate and current, then transition to monthly service so it stays that way.

Payroll Processing

Full payroll service for Cole County employers. Direct deposits, tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end W-2s. Your team gets paid on time. Your compliance deadlines are met.

Bill Payment and Invoicing

Money in and money out, handled on schedule. We process vendor payments and customer invoices so cash flow keeps moving without you chasing paperwork.

Cole County Businesses We Work With

The state capital creates a stable economic base that supports businesses of all kinds. Contractors who work on state facilities and infrastructure. Professional offices serving government agencies. Healthcare practices. Restaurants and retail that depend on the daily workforce population. Each has different accounting needs, but all of them need books that stay current.

We work with Cole County businesses that have outgrown handling their own books but aren’t ready to hire a full-time employee. That’s the gap we fill.

Contractors and Trades

Construction and trades businesses working in Cole County and across mid-Missouri. Job costing, progress billing, and financials that hold up when you’re bidding work or applying for bonding.

Professional Services

Law firms, consultants, engineering offices, and other professional services in Jefferson City. We track overhead, maintain clean records for partner review, and keep your books ready for tax time.

Medical and Dental Practices

Healthcare providers throughout Cole County. Insurance payments and patient balances create complicated revenue timing. We reconcile what you billed to what you collected so your books reflect the actual picture.

Retail and Restaurants

The shops and restaurants that serve Jefferson City’s workforce. High transaction volume, tight margins, and Missouri sales tax compliance. We track what matters so you know if you’re actually making money.
