Billings is a farm town on Highway 60, in the western corner of Christian County between Republic and Marionville, and it’s one of the closest towns to my desk. I’m Diane Jones, and I keep books from Ash Grove, about 30 minutes north. Most of the businesses there are family operations and one-person outfits, where the owner is usually the crew too.
When the whole business is you
Plenty of folks around Billings earn a living without ever calling themselves a company. Hauling, mowing, welding, custom farm work, selling at markets. The books work the same either way. My self-employed bookkeeping keeps business money separated from personal, every transaction categorized, and the accounts reconciled, so tax time is a handoff instead of a scramble. I keep income and expense records straight for farm operations in QuickBooks Online too. Your CPA handles the tax treatment and files the return. My part is making sure the numbers are right.
Service businesses along Highway 60
For the shops and service companies working the 60 corridor, my service business bookkeeping reconciles merchant deposits, tracks what each line of work brings in, and gives you a Profit and Loss you can read in five minutes. It all starts with a free 30-minute call by Zoom or phone. I’ll show you what I found in the file and quote a fixed price in writing. If you call and I can’t pick up, I’ll call you back within 15 to 20 minutes during the day.
A Form 990 on extension is due November 16, 2026. Your CPA needs reconciled, fund-level books to finish it, and that’s the part I do.
Filed an extension for 2025? Those returns are due October 15, 2026. Your CPA needs a reconciled 2025 file before then, and the sooner I see it the more room we both have.
1099s for your subs and vendors are due February 1, 2027, and they’re built from a full year of entered payments. If 2026 is behind, the last weeks of the year are the time to catch it up.
1099s for your subs and vendors are due February 1, 2027, the same day your payroll provider sends W-2s. If the 2026 books aren’t entered yet, that’s the first thing I’d fix.
S corporation and partnership returns are due March 15, 2027. Your CPA needs a reconciled 2026 file to file on time.
Individual returns are due April 15, 2027. A reconciled 2026 file is what your CPA needs to file, or to file the extension with real numbers.

Where Billings sits from my desk
Billings is about 30 minutes from Ash Grove, down through Republic on Highway 60. Most of my work happens in QuickBooks Online and over Zoom, so the drive rarely matters. When an in-person visit helps, it’s an easy trip.

Questions
Questions from Billings business owners
Do you work with anyone in Billings?
My client list runs across Missouri and into other states, and it changes over time, so I won’t invent a number for you. Billings is close, though. About 30 minutes down through Republic. I live and work in a town about that size myself.
Can you do the books for our farm?
I can keep the records side in QuickBooks Online: income, expenses, equipment purchases, and loan payments, all categorized and reconciled. Your CPA makes the depreciation calls and files the return, working from clean books instead of a folder of receipts. If you need a CPA, I work alongside several firms and I’ll introduce you.
What does it cost?
Monthly bookkeeping is a flat monthly fee, quoted in writing after a free review of your file. If the books need a cleanup first, or they are behind, that work gets a fixed quote the same way. The pricing page shows how I build the number and what monthly service includes.
