Built for Cleveland

Ohio makes small business paperwork harder than it should be

Between state filings and a patchwork of municipal income taxes, a Cleveland business with a few employees across a couple of suburbs can end up owing returns in several places at once. None of that is hard if the records are clean — and all of it is miserable if they aren't. We keep them clean.

Shaun Neal Founder

Hi, I'm Shaun Neal. For more than 30 years I've built and led the financial systems behind fintech companies, banks, and payment platforms — work where every number has to reconcile and every record has to stand up to an auditor.

My career has centered on regulated finance: payments, fraud controls, and compliance programs spanning PCI and FFIEC audits and KYC, BSA, and AML workflows. I know exactly what clean, defensible books look like — and how to build them without the enterprise price tag.

Now I bring that same discipline to small businesses across Greater Cleveland, working fully remotely so a brewery in Ohio City and a fabrication shop out toward Westlake get the same accurate, audit-ready books and clear monthly reporting — at a price that actually makes sense.

Simple pricing. No surprises.

FAQs

Straight answers

Is it really $99 a month — flat?

Yes. Full-service monthly bookkeeping and payroll for up to 10 employees are included for one flat $99/month. No add-ons, no cleanup surcharges, no surprises.

Is payroll actually included?

It is. Payroll for up to 10 employees, paid monthly, is built into your $99/month at no extra charge — no separate payroll bill.

Ohio municipal income tax is a headache. Can you help?

Ohio is unusual — many cities levy their own income tax, and a business with employees in more than one municipality can end up with several filings. We keep payroll and location detail organized so those filings are straightforward instead of a year-end reconstruction.

Do you file my taxes too?

We keep your books filing-ready all year. Year-end federal and state income tax filing is a separate annual add-on at $199/year per entity, stated honestly up front.

Do I need QuickBooks or special software?

No. If you already use QuickBooks we'll work in it, but you don't have to buy or learn anything — we meet you where you are.

My books are a mess. Can you help?

That's exactly who we're built for. Catch-up cleanup is included with your monthly plan — we'll get you current and keep you there.

Do you actually work with Cleveland businesses?

Yes — we serve small businesses across Cuyahoga County fully remotely, from Ohio City and Tremont to University Circle, Lakewood, Shaker Heights, and out to Westlake.
