The problem
If your books make you wince, you're our kind of client.
Most of the people we help feel a little embarrassed about the state of things. There's no need. Messy books are a consequence of being busy — and every one of these is fixable.
- 01
Years behind
Tax season keeps coming, extensions keep stacking, and the shoebox of receipts keeps growing. Catching up alone never quite happens.
- 02
Personal & business, tangled
One card pays for everything, so your P&L is part fiction and your deductions are a guess. Untangling it by hand is the worst kind of evening.
- 03
A bookkeeper who vanished
They left mid-year with no handoff. Half the work is done, none of it is documented, and you can't tell which numbers to trust.
What we do
Four ways to get your books right.
Bookkeeping cleanup
Wrong, messy, or co-mingled books — reconciled, re-categorized, and delivered tax-ready.
Catch-up bookkeeping
Months or years of unrecorded transactions, brought fully current — month by month.
New business setup
The right platform, a clean chart of accounts, and connected feeds — done right from day one.
Coaching
Learn to keep your own books with confidence — one-on-one in QuickBooks or Xero.
Why owners choose Poised
A different kind of bookkeeper.
Project-based, fixed-price, and personal — the opposite of a faceless monthly subscription. Here's what that means for you.
- 01
You work directly with Elizabeth
Not a team queue or a junior associate. A West Point graduate, MBA, and QuickBooks Advanced Certified ProAdvisor scopes your cleanup — and is the one who does it.
- 02
One fixed price, never hourly
Quoted in writing before any work begins. No meters, no surprise invoices, no scope creep — even if the file turns out harder than expected.
- 03
You keep your own file
It stays your QuickBooks or Xero the entire way through. No proprietary platform, no lock-in — when we're done, you own clean books outright.
- 04
Built to stay clean
Every cleanup ends with a live walkthrough and training, so your books stay reconciled long after we hand them back.
