Bookkeeping for Gasconade County

Gasconade County has two distinct economies running side by side. There’s the agricultural base that’s been here for generations. Farms, livestock operations, and the businesses that support them. Then there’s the tourism economy centered on Hermann and the Missouri wine country that draws visitors from St. Louis and beyond. Both create real bookkeeping needs, and both tend to get neglected when owners are busy running operations.

We’re a Mid-Missouri bookkeeper based in Versailles. Close enough to understand the area, set up to work remotely so distance doesn’t matter. We handle monthly bookkeeping, payroll, sales tax, and the cleanup work that piles up when the books fall behind. Everything runs through QuickBooks Online so the numbers stay current instead of sitting on a desktop nobody has time to update.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed. Every month you get financial statements that show where the business actually stands. No more guessing at profitability.

Bookkeeping Cleanup

Behind six months? Longer? We’ve seen it plenty of times. We reconstruct what’s there, organize the missing pieces, and deliver books your CPA can actually work from.

Payroll Processing

Paychecks, tax deposits, quarterly filings, W-2s. Seasonal staff for harvest or tourism season handled the same as year-round employees. You approve hours and we take care of everything else.

Sales Tax Filing

Missouri sales tax filed on time with accurate numbers. Retail shops, tasting rooms, and any business collecting sales tax stays compliant without the filing headaches.

Gasconade County Businesses We Work With

The businesses here range from family farms that have worked the same land for decades to wine tourism operations that didn’t exist twenty years ago. What they share is owners doing too many things themselves. The books slip because there’s always something more pressing. Tax season becomes stressful. Financial decisions happen on gut feel instead of actual numbers.

We work with Gasconade County businesses that need professional bookkeeping but don’t have enough volume to hire someone full-time. The numbers stay current. The stress goes away.

Wineries and Tourism

Hermann’s wine country creates businesses with multiple revenue streams. Tasting room sales, bottle purchases, event rentals, wholesale accounts. We track each stream separately so you know which parts of the operation actually make money.

Agriculture

Gasconade County is farm country. Row crops, cattle, mixed operations. We set up books with Schedule F categories from day one and keep financials ready for operating lines and year-end tax prep.

Retail and Hospitality

The shops, restaurants, and B&Bs in Hermann serve tourists. The businesses in Owensville serve locals. Both need inventory tracking, sales tax handled correctly, and books that show real margins instead of vague guesses.

Contractors and Trades

Residential work, farm buildings, commercial projects across the county. Job costing that tracks profit by project. Books that hold up when you’re bidding work or applying for equipment financing.
