West Campus Businesses We Work With
The businesses around Mizzou’s west side deal with patterns that other Columbia businesses don’t. Move-in weekend looks nothing like finals week. Summer brings a different crowd than fall. If you’re running payroll for student workers who come and go each semester, the bookkeeping has to keep up.
We work with West Campus businesses doing anywhere from $50K to a few million in revenue. Big enough to need accurate books. Not so big that you need someone on staff producing them.
Property Management
Property Management
Landlords and property managers handling student rentals across West Campus. We track income by property, manage expense categories, and keep the books ready for tax season and lender reviews.
Restaurants and Retail
Restaurants and Retail
The spots along Broadway and throughout the neighborhood. High transaction volumes, tip reporting, inventory tracking. Books that show which months carry the business and which ones you’re surviving.
Personal Care and Fitness
Personal Care and Fitness
Salons, barbershops, gyms, and studios serving the campus community. We handle booth rental accounting, membership revenue, and the worker classification questions that come up in these industries.
Medical and Dental Practices

Clinics and practices near the hospital district. Insurance receivables, patient balances, and the revenue timing that makes healthcare bookkeeping different from other service businesses.
