Yes. Catch-up and cleanup bookkeeping is designed to address overdue records, correct accounting errors, and organize books for ongoing management, lending decisions, or investor review. The work can also identify process issues that contribute to inaccurate records. Final scope is based on transaction volume, number of accounts, payroll complexity, and the overall cleanup needs.

Yes. Porter Accounting LLC can set up and optimize accounting systems, including QuickBooks, by designing a chart of accounts and creating workflows that fit business operations. A thoughtful setup supports more consistent transaction coding, easier reconciliations, and clearer reporting as the business grows. The exact configuration depends on the organization’s activities and reporting requirements.

Monthly bookkeeping is available through tiered accounting plans. The service includes recording and categorizing transactions, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, and preparing monthly financial statements. Businesses can also receive support related to payroll, financial analysis, budget tracking, cash-flow monitoring, and management reporting when those needs fit the selected plan and scope.

Yes. Payroll support helps ensure payroll is properly recorded and aligned with accounting records. The service also supports payroll-tax tracking and accurate reporting. Because payroll complexity can affect bookkeeping workflows and pricing, the appropriate level of support is determined by the company’s payroll structure, transaction activity, existing records, and reporting requirements.

Yes. Virtual services are available across the United States. Porter Accounting LLC also offers in-person services by appointment in supported areas, including San Francisco. Virtual delivery can support system reviews, bookkeeping coordination, reporting discussions, cleanup projects, and financial advisory work without requiring a client to visit an office.

Pricing depends on the service and scope. Monthly accounting plans start at $850 per month, while controller services start at $100 per hour and fractional CFO services start at $150 per hour. Cleanup work is priced based on the regular monthly bookkeeping rate and project requirements. Final pricing considers transaction volume, accounts, payroll complexity, and cleanup needs.

Yes. Porter Accounting LLC can prepare financial statements and provide reporting support, including budget tracking, cash-flow monitoring, financial analysis, and management reporting. Fractional CFO services also include cash-flow forecasting, budgeting, KPI tracking, and financial strategy. These services help business owners understand performance and plan with more reliable financial information.

Yes, for many businesses. Porter Accounting LLC can review your contracts, apply the ASC 606 five-step model, and set up deferred revenue accounts and schedules so revenue posts in the correct period. For companies with high contract volume or complex multi-element arrangements, the firm can also advise on whether an ERP such as NetSuite or Acumatica is a better fit.

Yes. Audit readiness in QuickBooks means reconciled balance sheet accounts, documented accruals, clean close procedures, and supporting schedules your auditor can tie out. Porter Accounting LLC prepares these records and helps respond to auditor requests, working alongside your external auditors or CPA rather than performing the audit.
