Bookkeeping for Battlefield's home offices and small businesses

Battlefield sits on Springfield’s southwest edge, named for the Wilson’s Creek battlefield just down the road, and it stays quiet with the city a few minutes away. A lot of the work here happens in home offices and spare bedrooms. Consultants, designers, one-person trades, and folks who see clients in Springfield all day and do their own paperwork at night.

I’m Diane Jones, a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor in Ash Grove. That paperwork is what I take off people’s plates.

Bookkeeping built for a business of one

When the business is just you, the books slide to the bottom of the list. Business and personal spending end up tangled in the same checking account. It happens. My self-employed bookkeeping is sized for exactly that. I separate business from personal, categorize every transaction, reconcile the accounts, and send you reports by mid-month that show what you actually earned. At tax time your CPA gets a clean file instead of a shoebox, because I keep the books tax-ready all year. Your CPA files the return from that file. If you don’t have a CPA yet, I work alongside several firms and I’ll introduce you.

How this works from Battlefield

Most of it runs through QuickBooks Online and Zoom, the same way I work with clients in other states, so you never have to leave Battlefield to have a bookkeeper. We start with a free 30-minute call, looking at your QuickBooks file, or at the spreadsheet you’re using instead of one. I’ll walk you through what I find in it, and you get the price in writing before I touch anything. If the books have fallen behind, rebuilding them is the part I like best, and you’ll get a plan from me, never a lecture.
