Your books should close the same way every month—on time, error-free, and ready for decisions. RemoteBooksOnline provides a small business bookkeeper who runs your weekly engine in Xero or QuickBooks and follows a CPA-designed monthly close checklist. Every account is reconciled to statements, undeposited funds are cleared, accruals/prepaids are posted, and you receive a reporting pack (P&L, Balance Sheet, AR/AP aging, cash highlights) with CPA review and variance notes. Add AR invoicing, AP bill pay (with approvals), payroll JEs, and integrations as needed. Use the Instant Quote inputs below to see pricing based on transactions, accounts, and workflows.
