Bookkeeping

Behind on Your Books? We'll Get You Current — and Keep You There.

Disorganized records, months of uncategorized transactions, a shoebox of receipts you've been avoiding — we've seen it all, and we know how to fix it. The Reliant Group provides monthly bookkeeping, catch-up bookkeeping, and cleanup services for small businesses in Middletown, Loveland, and across Southwest Ohio.

Bookkeeping, Catch-Up, Cleanup, and Accounting — What's the Difference?

  • Monthly bookkeeping — ongoing transaction categorization and reconciliation, kept current every month.
  • Catch-up bookkeeping — bringing months or years of unrecorded transactions up to date.
  • Cleanup — correcting an existing file with errors, duplicates, or miscategorized transactions.
  • Small business accounting — builds on clean books to deliver financial statements, cash-flow analysis, and advisory.

Why It Matters at Tax Time

Clean, current books are what make tax season painless. When your records are reconciled every month, your return is a straightforward handoff instead of a scramble to reconstruct a year of transactions in February. Because The Reliant Group handles both bookkeeping and tax preparation, your records flow directly into your return — no last-minute reconstruction.

We Work in QuickBooks Online and Desktop

Whether your business runs QuickBooks Online or Desktop, we work directly in your system — no forced migrations. If your file needs to be set up or restructured first, our QuickBooks Setup service handles that.

Bookkeeping FAQs

  • How far behind do my books need to be before you can help?

    There's no minimum backlog. We'll assess your records and give you a proposal before any work begins.

  • Do you work with QuickBooks Desktop, or only Online?

    Both. We work directly in QuickBooks Online and Desktop — no need to switch platforms.

  • What's the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?

    Bookkeeping is maintaining accurate records — categorizing transactions and reconciling accounts. Accounting uses those records for reporting, cash-flow analysis, and decision support. Many clients use both.

  • Can I get a fixed monthly price?

    Yes, for ongoing bookkeeping. Cleanup and catch-up projects are priced separately, and we'll give you that scope upfront.

  • Will my bookkeeping connect to my tax preparation?

    Yes, when both are handled by The Reliant Group — your reconciled records flow directly into your return.
