If your bookkeeping needs are basic but you still prefer professional handling, our Quarterly Copper bookkeeping service might be the right fit for you. This service is designed for those with fewer than 2 checking or credit card accounts and under 20 transactions per month. It is ideal for small businesses that require quarterly and annual financial statements. Should you need to add more transactions or accounts, these can be included for an additional fee or change order invoice. You can begin with this service and later upgrade to our more comprehensive programs as your needs grow. Since managing a business is demanding, let our skilled team of professionals take care of your bookkeeping and accounting tasks.
Services Included in the Copper Quarterly Program:
Bookkeeping Done Quarterly (some postings to be done Monthly at our discretion)
Enter and Match all Bank Feed Transactions in QuickBooks once a quarter.
Posting all transactions and receipt paperwork received each quarter and matching to bank feed transactions. Posting is done for the prior quarter that just ended. Work is complete by the 25th of the month following the end of the quarter. Any unknown transactions are posted as uncategorized. Late submission of receipts and other paperwork may cause change order fees as work is only performed once a quarter for the previous quarter period. We may choose, at our discretion, to post and reconcile the accounts more frequently if this information is made available to us regularly.

Reconcile Bank & Credit Card Accounts Quarterly
We will reconcile all banking, credit card, and loan accounts to their provided statements quarterly. That said, the bank feeds will pull in transactions into your QuickBooks file throughout the quarter, but they will only be posted and reconciled once a quarter in this Copper Quarterly program. If you need transactions posted and reconciled more frequently to the bank feeds, then upgrade to the Daily Platinum, Weekly Gold, or Monthly Bronze program.

We will send your CPA or Tax Preparer your year-end financials once you have reviewed and approved them. These typically consist of the:

We can send your AR Aging & AP Aging as well if you opt in for either Modified Cash Basis or ACCRUAL BASIS accounting.
General Ledgers may also be provided, depending on the total transaction count. E-Commerce companies that have 1,000s of transactions will not receive a general ledger as the report would be too many pages long to be useful. In these cases, ledgers for certain accounts can be made available upon request in the client portal.
We can also invite your CPA or Tax Preparer to your QuickBooks Online file once the year-end books are ready. This allows for a collaborative review each year with our bookkeepers and your CPA or tax preparer.

Change Orders for Out of Scope Requests
If you have very limited needs, then this quarterly program may suit you. However, if you simply started here to save money, and we discover (relatively quickly) that more time is needed on your account, we will send change order invoices to complete your books. These could be for things like having more accounts, transactions, and complexity than initially disclosed when you first signed up for the service. We will recommend that you updgrade to a higher service if the time allocated in the quarterly service is not enough to get everything done without change orders. Typically, after the 1st or 2nd change order, we will pause service until you upgrade to something that may be more appropriate. Sometimes, it may just be a busy quarter or year and if things go back within scope then we can continue with this program. Your service agreement will list the dollar value per hour of the staff roles in our company. These will be used to determine any additional change order fees. Change order invoices are sent out as standalone invoices separate from your recurring ongoing service (which is charged automatically to the payment method on file). You will be given 30-day terms to pay any change order invoices you receive. You can request us to manually charge your payment information on file to pay for any change orders you receive, or you can choose a different form of payment, such as using your bill payment processor and any bill approvals workflow you use to pay other vendor bills. If your change order invoices are not paid within the 30-day terms, we do reserve the right to pause your current services and use your payment method on file to pay for any outstanding change orders before services resume.

Can not be combined with a CashFlow Advisory service. Must upgrade to Daily or Weekly bookkeeping in order to receive CashFlow Advisory support.
Can be combined with Budgeting advisory services which are performed quarterly after the books are finalized.
This is NOT a daily bookkeeping program. This is an annual program which means Transactions will accrue during the YEAR and will be posted and or reconciled ONCE a YEAR before the annual basic financials are posted in the client portal for review. This means your books will be up-to-date only ONE day each year (the day you receive your annual financials for the previous year). If you need your transactions posted daily please choose the Platinum program. If you need them posted weekly please choose the Gold Weekly program, if needed monthly please choose the Bronze program.*
This program does NOT include any annual Income Tax Filing Services for 1040, 1065, or 1120 tax forms. Your outside CPA or Enrolled agent will be responsible for your income tax returns and you will be billed separately from A Bigger Bottom Line for any income tax preparation and filings. You are required to pay for and handle all your own payroll taxes. We can help you send 1099’s at year-end using QuickBooks for an additional fee per 1099. We will work with your designated CPA to provide year-end financial statements and or access to your QuickBooks Online file for review.******
