Bookkeeping for Sedalia Small Businesses

Bookkeeping and payroll for Sedalia businesses. A Versailles-based firm serving Pettis County and the surrounding Mid-Missouri region.

Bookkeeping for Sedalia

Sedalia is the largest city in Pettis County and a regional hub for the surrounding area. Between the Missouri State Fair each August, the manufacturing operations, and the businesses that serve both local residents and rural communities nearby, there’s a lot of economic activity here. That activity creates bookkeeping needs that don’t stop just because the owner is busy running the business.

We’re based in Versailles, about 30 minutes away. Close enough to meet when it matters, but the real work happens through QuickBooks Online regardless of distance. We provide bookkeeping services for Sedalia businesses that need their books handled while the information is still fresh. Monthly bookkeeping, payroll, cleanup work, and the day-to-day financial tasks that pile up when nobody’s watching them.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed. Every month. You get financial reports that reflect what actually happened in the business, not a three-month-old guess.

Bookkeeping Cleanup

Books that haven’t been touched in months need work before monthly service makes sense. We sort through the backlog, fix what’s wrong, and build a clean foundation to work from.

Payroll Processing

Payroll runs on schedule. Tax deposits made, quarterly reports filed, W-2s issued at year end. Your employees get paid correctly and you stop tracking deadlines.

Bill Payment and Invoicing

Vendor bills paid on time. Customer invoices sent promptly. Money moves in and out without you managing every transaction manually.

Sedalia Businesses We Work With

Sedalia has more economic diversity than people sometimes realize. Yes, the State Fair defines August, but the rest of the year has manufacturing, construction, agriculture support, retail, and professional services keeping things moving. State Fair Community College brings students and employees. The businesses here serve Sedalia itself plus the smaller communities throughout Pettis County and beyond.

We work with businesses that have outgrown the shoebox-of-receipts approach but don’t need a full-time bookkeeper. Real operations that need accurate books without the overhead of adding staff.

Construction and Trades

Contractors, electricians, plumbers, HVAC companies working in Sedalia and across the region. Job costing that shows which projects actually made money. Books that support bonding and equipment financing.

Agriculture and Farm Services

Sedalia sits in farm country. Equipment dealers, feed suppliers, ag services, and farm operations that need books organized for operating lines and tax prep. We understand the seasonal cash flow patterns.

Retail and Restaurants

Downtown shops, restaurants along Highway 65, and the businesses that see extra traffic during State Fair. Daily reconciliation, sales tax tracking, and books that stay current even during the busy stretch.

Service Businesses

Auto repair, salons, professional services, home services. Businesses with steady transaction volume that need consistent bookkeeping without spending evenings and weekends on QuickBooks.
