Free 30-minute intro call by phone, Zoom, or Teams. No obligation.
Services
Both are done in QuickBooks Online, with a written scope and fee before anything starts.
Your books stay current, and you get a short report you can actually read.
Your records are brought current and reconciled, with a written summary of what I found and changed.
I send a written proposal after a short intro call. The fee depends on how many transactions and accounts you have, how far behind your records are, and which reports you need. Nothing starts until you've seen the scope and fee in writing and agreed to it.

Who I help
Also outside my current scope: businesses with significant inventory or multiple entities, and very high transaction volumes.
I'm glad to share organized records with your tax preparer, with your permission. Not sure which side you're on? Describe your business on an intro call and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
How it works
We talk through your business, your records, and what you need. I'll tell you honestly whether MQ Bookkeeping is a good fit.
You receive a clear scope, timeline, and fee, plus a separate one-time fee if your books need catching up.
I ask for accountant access to your accounting software, never your passwords. Documents move through a secure portal, not regular email.
Each month I categorize, reconcile, and review your books, then send your reports with a short summary and any questions. Target delivery: by the 15th of the following month.
About
I'm a CPA with a master's degree in Taxation and Data Analytics. My background is in accounting: bookkeeping, account reconciliations, adjusting entries, financial statement corrections, and helping clients get set up and onboarded.
I started MQ Bookkeeping to give self-employed people and small business owners something simple and dependable: books that are accurate, current, and easy to understand.
It's an independent, one-person practice, so you always work directly with me. I'd rather ask you a question than guess at a transaction.
I live in Mesa and work with clients across the East Valley and online.
FAQ
After a short intro call, I send a written proposal with a monthly fee and, if your books need catching up, a separate one-time cleanup fee, so you know the cost before anything starts. What affects the fee is explained under Services.
I work in QuickBooks Online. If you aren't using accounting software yet, we can talk through the simplest option for your business.
No. MQ Bookkeeping focuses on bookkeeping. I can keep your records organized so your tax preparer has what they need, and with your permission I'm glad to answer their questions about your books.
That's what cleanup and catch-up is for. I review what you have, give you a written scope and one-time fee, then reconcile your accounts, correct errors, and bring your records current. If you'd like, we then move to monthly bookkeeping.
Please don't send financial documents by regular email or through the contact form. Once we've signed an agreement, I set up a secure portal or encrypted file exchange. For accounting software, I ask you to invite me as an accountant user rather than sharing your password.
Your agreement sets a clear schedule. Once your statements and answers to my questions are in, I aim to deliver your reconciled books and reports by the 15th of the following month. I take on a limited number of clients so each one gets consistent attention.
I'm based in Mesa and work with clients across the East Valley and online. Meetings are by phone or video; in-person meetings are not offered.
