Common questions

Honest answers, up front.

It means I don't just categorize last month's transactions. I build a repeatable monthly system around how your business actually runs: your accounts, your workflows, the reports you need.

Software and budget bookkeeping record what happened. What you're paying me for is analysis: I review what the numbers mean, catch what doesn't look right, and tell you what to do next. You get a person who knows your books, not a feed of categorized transactions.

Yes. Cedar & Thyme is fully remote and serves service-based businesses in all states.

It depends on where your books are and what you need. A cleanup project and steady monthly bookkeeping are scoped differently. After a free consultation you'll get a clear plan and a price before any work begins, no surprises.
