Bookkeeping for Howard County Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for Howard County businesses. QuickBooks Online lets us work in real time, no matter where you're located in the county.

Bookkeeping for Howard County

Howard County is about an hour from Versailles where our office is located. That distance used to matter for bookkeeping. It doesn’t anymore. QuickBooks Online gives us real-time access to your financial data, which means your books can stay current whether you’re running a farm outside Glasgow or a business in Fayette.

Most stress in bookkeeping comes from lag. Something happens today and the books don’t reflect it for months. By then nobody remembers the details. We work as bookkeepers who fix that timing problem. The work happens while the information is still fresh.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Monthly bookkeeping that keeps your records current. Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, reports delivered. You see where the business stands without spending your evenings in QuickBooks.

Bookkeeping Cleanup

Books that haven’t been touched in months or years. We sort through the history, fix the errors, and deliver a clean foundation. Once we get you current, the monthly work keeps things from falling behind again.

Payroll Processing

Paychecks processed, taxes deposited, filings submitted. Your employees get paid correctly and on time. You stop tracking payroll deadlines and tax deposit schedules yourself.

Sales Tax Filing

Missouri sales tax handled on schedule. We track what you owe, file the returns, and make sure payments go out on time. No penalties from missed deadlines or calculation errors.

Howard County Businesses We Work With

Howard County’s economy runs on agriculture. Cattle, row crops, and the operations that have worked this land for generations. But farming doesn’t happen in isolation. Contractors build and maintain farm structures. Home service businesses keep rural properties running. Auto and equipment shops service the machinery that makes everything work.

We work with businesses throughout the county doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in annual revenue. Operations that need real bookkeeping but don’t have enough volume to hire someone full-time. That gap is exactly what we fill.

Farms and Agricultural Operations

Farm bookkeeping requires understanding seasonal income, equipment depreciation, and cash flow that doesn’t follow a predictable monthly pattern. We track what matters for agricultural operations and keep the books ready for lenders and tax prep.

Contractors and Trades

Construction, HVAC, plumbing, electrical. The trades that build and maintain Howard County. We handle job costing so you know which projects actually made money and which ones ate into your margins.

Home Services

Lawn care, cleaning, pest control, property maintenance. Service businesses covering rural routes across the county. We keep the books straight while you keep the routes running.

Automotive and Equipment

Repair shops, farm equipment service, small dealers. Businesses that keep Howard County’s vehicles and machinery operating. We track parts, labor, and the job costing that shows real profitability.
