Bookkeeping & Accounting | QuickBooks & Xero Bookkeeper

Looking for an experienced bookkeeper and accountant for QuickBooks or Xero? I’m a Chartered Accountant with 4,600+ Upwork hours, 98 completed projects, and 100+ businesses served. I specialize in QuickBooks cleanup, Xero cleanup, catch-up bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, and accounts payable and receivable (A/P and A/R). Once your books are clean, I keep them accurate every month so your CPA always has the numbers ready. I work with small businesses, e-commerce sellers, nonprofits and real estate investors across the US, UK, Canada, Europe and Australia. Many of my clients run several companies at once, and I handle accounting and bookkeeping for all of them. SIGNS YOUR BOOKS NEED A BOOKKEEPER ❌ Months or years behind and overdue for a bookkeeping catch-up ❌ Transactions uncategorized or coded to the wrong accounts in QuickBooks or Xero ❌ Bank, credit card or PayPal accounts not reconciled ❌ Shopify, Amazon or Stripe payouts that don’t match your books ❌ Not sure your books are tax-ready if your CPA asked today ✅ These are exactly the bookkeeping and accounting problems I fix in QuickBooks and Xero, without the back-and-forth. RESULTS FROM REAL CLIENTS ✔ Cleaned up a 4-year backlog of 3,700+ transactions in QuickBooks, fully reconciled and categorized in one week. ✔ Completed a full year of books for a client’s tax filing, then finished an eight-month catch-up in one week. They kept me on for monthly bookkeeping. ✔ Handle monthly bookkeeping for one client’s three companies, two in QuickBooks Online and one in Xero, with a separate P&L for each by the 10th of every month. ✔ Found years of misclassified transactions for a client before they turned into tax penalties. WHAT I DO ✔ QuickBooks cleanup and Xero cleanup ✔ Catch-up bookkeeping for books months or years behind ✔ Monthly bookkeeping and accounting in QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop and Xero ✔ Bank, credit card, PayPal and Stripe reconciliation ✔ Accounts payable and accounts receivable ✔ Month-end close: Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow ✔ Tax-ready financial statements for your CPA ✔ Budget vs actual and cash flow reporting ✔ Multi-entity bookkeeping for owners with several companies ✔ QuickBooks Desktop to Online and QuickBooks to Xero migrations INDUSTRIES E-commerce bookkeeping: Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, TikTok Shop and eBay sellers, including payout reconciliation with A2X and Link My Books, COGS and inventory in QuickBooks or Xero. Real estate bookkeeping: Property-level books and investor-ready reports for landlords, including AppFolio. Nonprofit bookkeeping: 3 years of nonprofit accounting and bookkeeping. Also SaaS, construction, agencies, and restaurants. TOOLS QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Wave, Zoho Books, Sage, FreshBooks, Excel, Dext, Hubdoc, A2X, Link My Books, Bill, Gusto, AppFolio, Stripe, PayPal WHY CLIENTS STAY ✅ Chartered Accountant with 7+ years of hands-on bookkeeping and accounting experience. ✅ Regular updates, so you never have to ask where things stand. ✅ Most clients hire me for a cleanup, then keep me on for monthly bookkeeping. Send me a message with two things: whether you use QuickBooks or Xero, and how many months your books are behind. I’ll review where things stand and give you a clear plan, timeline and quote within 24 hours. No pressure, and no obligation.
