Frequently Asked Questions

What does a bookkeeper do and why would I need one? 

A bookkeeper (that’s me) tracks and organizes your business’s financial transactions throughout the year. Farrier invoices, hay deliveries, lesson income, show fees, board payments, and everything in between.

You need one if you’re behind on your books, tax season fills you with dread, or you have no idea if your barn is actually making money. Basically, if you’d rather spend an hour with your horse than an hour in QuickBooks…that’s where I come in.

I keep your numbers clean and current so you always know where your equestrian business stands, and so you can spend more time at the barn, less at the desk.

How does the process work? 

Simple! We start with a free Barn Chat, a quick call to talk about your horses, your business, and where your books stand. From there I’ll recommend the right package, get you set up, and handle everything so you can get back to the barn.

What’s included in monthly bookkeeping? 

Monthly bank and credit card reconciliation, transaction categorization in QBO, monthly financial reports (Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet), and year-end prep for your accountant. No more scrambling at tax time!

How much does it cost?

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $300/month depending on transaction volume. Clean Up/Catch Up services are custom quoted based on how far behind your books are. Contact me for a free consultation, no pressure, no jargon.

Do you work with businesses outside of New Hampshire? 

Yes! I work virtually with equestrian businesses across the US, from backyard horse owners to full boarding facilities.

When should I hire a bookkeeper? 

The sooner the better! Whether you just got your first horse or you’ve been running a barn for years, there’s no wrong time to get organized. The longer you wait the messier it gets, and the more expensive to clean up.

How do I get started? 

Click “Get in Touch” at the bottom of the page! We’ll schedule a free 30-minute call to talk about your business and figure out the best path forward. No spreadsheets required, I promise.

Are you a CPA?
No, I’m a professional bookkeeper with an MBA and accounting degree. I handle your day-to-day financial records and keep your books clean and organized. For tax filing and tax advice, you’ll want a licensed CPA. I’ll make sure your books are perfectly prepared for them!
