Brookline sits just west of Springfield off I-44, folded in next to Republic, with the metro’s industrial and warehouse parks right up the road. It’s a working town: contractors, freight outfits, and service companies that work in Springfield and park the trucks at home.
I’m Diane Jones, a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor in Ash Grove, about 25 minutes up the road.
Contractor books with job costing built in
Materials and sub invoices for four different jobs can all land in one account, and at the end nobody can tell which job paid. My contractor bookkeeping sets up job costing in QuickBooks Online so labor, materials, and subs get tied to the project they belong to, and the monthly reports show which jobs made money. Sub payments get tracked all year, and the 1099s go out e-filed in January. The monthly fee is flat, and you get the price in writing first.
Service businesses working the parks and the metro
For cleaning crews, maintenance outfits, haulers, and the other service businesses working around the parks, the job is keeping fast money organized. That means reconciling merchant deposits, putting fuel and equipment costs where they belong, and giving you a Profit and Loss you can actually read. It starts with a free 30-minute call. I look at your file, walk you through what’s reconciled and what isn’t, and quote a fixed price, whether that’s monthly service or a one-time cleanup. If I miss your call, 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 Brookline sits from my desk
Brookline is about 25 minutes from Ash Grove, just west of Springfield off I-44. 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 Brookline business owners
Do you have clients in Brookline?
Brookline’s a small place, so you get a straight answer instead of a sales line. My clients are spread across this side of the metro and into other states, and where they sit changes over time. You’d be about 25 minutes from my desk, closer than a lot of Springfield, and the books live in QuickBooks Online anyway.
We’re close to Republic. Does it matter which town we count as?
Not to me. Brookline and Republic are both easy trips from my office, and the books live in QuickBooks Online either way. The town on your mailing address doesn’t change the service or the price.
What does bookkeeping cost?
Monthly bookkeeping is a flat monthly fee, quoted in writing after a free review of your file. Cleanup work gets a fixed quote the same way, so the price is in writing before anything starts. The pricing page breaks down how I build the number and what monthly service includes.

On a free 30-minute call, you’ll hear plainly what shape your books are in and what I’d recommend. You don’t sign or owe anything unless you decide to go ahead.
