Bookkeeping for Laurie Small Businesses

Bookkeeping for Laurie businesses at the Lake of the Ozarks. We're just down Highway 5 in Versailles and understand seasonal lake operations.

Bookkeeping for the Lake

Laurie runs on the lake economy. From Memorial Day through Labor Day, the strip is packed and businesses are running full speed. Nobody has time to think about books when the dock is full or the restaurant is on a two-hour wait. Then September hits, things slow down, and suddenly there are four months of transactions that never got recorded.

We’re a Lake area bookkeeper based in Versailles, just ten minutes down Highway 5. We work with businesses along the strip and around the lake. The goal is keeping your financial records current while you focus on the busy season, not playing catch-up every fall.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed. Monthly bookkeeping that happens on schedule even when you’re too busy to think about it. Financial statements that show where you actually stand.

Bookkeeping Cleanup

Most Laurie businesses come to us with a backlog. Peak season creates a pile of receipts and bank transactions that nobody had time to sort. We clean up the mess and build a system that keeps it from happening again.

Payroll Processing

Seasonal staff means payroll that scales up and down throughout the year. We handle the processing, tax deposits, quarterly filings, and year-end paperwork regardless of how many people are on the roster.

Sales Tax Filing

Missouri sales tax filed correctly and on time. We track what you collect and handle the filings so you’re not scrambling at deadline or paying penalties for late submissions.

Laurie Businesses We Work With

The Lake of the Ozarks brings millions of visitors every summer. Laurie sits right in the middle of it. Marinas, restaurants, vacation rentals, boat services, retail shops. All of it runs on a seasonal cycle that creates specific bookkeeping challenges. Revenue spikes hard for four months, then drops. Cash flow swings wildly. Staffing changes constantly.

We work with businesses that live this reality. If your books reflect a seasonal operation and you need someone who understands that pattern, we’re set up for it.

Marinas and Boat Services

Slip rentals, fuel sales, boat repairs, storage fees. Revenue streams that all peak at once and require tracking through the off-season. We handle the accounting so you know which services actually make money.

Vacation Rentals

Lake properties rented through VRBO, Airbnb, or direct booking. Cleaning costs, platform fees, property management splits, and property-level reporting that shows performance across multiple units.

Restaurants and Bars

The strip has restaurants that do more business in June than they do from November through March combined. We track food cost, labor, tips, and the numbers that matter when margins are tight and volume swings dramatically.

Contractors and Home Services

Lake homes need constant maintenance. Docks, decks, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping. Contractors working around Laurie deal with seasonal demand and customers who are only at the lake part of the year. We track jobs and keep books organized for tax time.

Common Questions

How close are you to Laurie?

We're in Versailles, just down Highway 5. About ten minutes from the strip. We're not a remote firm listing Laurie as a service area. We're actual neighbors.

What does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Starting at $200 per month. Seasonal businesses get pricing that reflects the actual rhythm of the work. We quote exact numbers after learning about your operation.

Do you work with seasonal businesses?

Yes. Lake businesses run hot from May through September and slow down in winter. We understand that cycle and structure our services around it.

What if my books got behind during the busy season?

That's the most common way businesses come to us. We handle the cleanup first, get everything current, then move to regular monthly service so it doesn't happen again.

Do you work with vacation rental owners?

Yes. Multiple properties, cleaning expenses, platform fees, property-level reporting. We handle the accounting complexity that comes with managing rentals at the lake.
