FAQs
Expert Financial Guidance When It Matters Most
Your top questions, answered.
What financial services does Foundation Ledger Group offer?
Foundation Ledger Group provides accounting, bookkeeping, and business consulting services tailored for small businesses, ensuring financial clarity and growth.
Why should small businesses outsource bookkeeping?
Outsourcing bookkeeping saves time, reduces errors, and provides expert insights, allowing business owners to focus on growing their business rather than managing daily financial tasks.
Which software do you recommend?
It depends on your business. We’re certified in both QuickBooks Online and Xero, and we match the system to your industry and workflows.
Is QuickBooks Online better than QuickBooks Desktop for my business?
QuickBooks Online offers real-time access, collaboration with your CPA, and cloud storage, making it an excellent choice for businesses seeking flexibility and remote work options.
Can you clean up messy books?
Yes. Whether it’s a few months or a few years, we rebuild records so owners have a clean slate and clarity moving forward.
How do you handle W-9s and 1099s?
We collect W-9s year-round and prepare 1099s on time, so deadlines don’t sneak up and tax season stays predictable.
What does monthly bookkeeping include?
Bank and credit card reconciliations, accurate categorization of transactions, monthly reports (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow), and regular check-ins if needed.
How much do your services cost?
Pricing depends on the size and complexity of your business, but we keep it transparent and competitive. Most clients choose a monthly package. Cleanup projects are quoted separately and can transition into monthly support.
Do you work remotely or on-site?
Most work is done remotely for efficiency, but we also provide on-site support when it makes sense—training, payroll setup, or best practices.
How do I know if I need accounting help for my small business?
If you’re struggling with financial records, tax deadlines, or business decisions, professional accounting services can bring peace of mind and ensure your business stays financially healthy.
Can Foundation Ledger Group help me during tax season?
Absolutely! We specialize in preparing accurate tax documents, finding opportunities for savings, and ensuring your business remains compliant with tax laws.
How much do accounting services cost for small businesses?
Costs vary based on your business size and needs. Foundation Ledger Group offers competitive, transparent pricing and customized packages to fit your budget.
Do you prepare taxes?
No. We don’t file tax returns, but we make sure books are accurate and your tax preparer has everything needed on time.
How do you handle W‑9s and 1099s?
We collect W‑9s year‑round and prepare 1099s on time, so deadlines don’t sneak up and tax season stays predictable.
Can you work with my CPA or tax preparer?
Yes. It’s a key part of what we do. We collaborate year-round with CPAs and tax preparers, which makes tax planning proactive instead of last-minute.
Do you work with side hustles or freelancers?
Yes. We offer Side Hustle & Schedule C support for solopreneurs and creators who don’t need full bookkeeping but want accurate year-end reporting.
How do I start working with you?
It begins with a free Discovery Call. We’ll review your current systems, goals, and needs, then outline next steps—cleanup, systems setup, or monthly bookkeeping.
What industries do you work with?
Construction, manufacturing, retail, online sellers, professional services, social media influencers, digital creators, and freelancers.
