Around the historic downtown square, antique stores and longtime shops still anchor the town. Out on the Highway 65 corridor the retail keeps spreading and new houses go up month after month. Christian County is one of the fastest-growing in Missouri, and Ozark is the county seat. Growth is good for business. It also puts more transactions in QuickBooks than most owners can keep up with.
I’m Diane Jones. I’ve kept books for more than 30 years, and I’m a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor. I keep the books for Ozark owners from my office in Ash Grove, working over Zoom the same way I do with clients in other states, so a busy week on your end never has to wait on a meeting.
Contractors building Christian County
Steady residential construction has kept Ozark’s builders, remodelers, and trade crews working for years, and busy season is exactly when the paperwork slides. Estimates go out, draws come in, subs get paid, and by fall nobody can say which job actually made money. I set up job costing in QuickBooks Online, reconcile every account monthly, and prepare and e-file 1099s for your subs each January. My contractor bookkeeping page covers how I handle it.
Service businesses from the square to the 65 corridor
Ozark’s antique dealers, salons, restaurants, and repair shops run on card readers and busy weekends. I reconcile merchant deposits to the penny, keep the accounts current, and send a Profit and Loss by mid-month that shows what the shop actually made. If that sounds like your shop, my service business bookkeeping page has the details.
How we’d start
It starts with a free 30-minute call over Zoom or the phone. I look at your QuickBooks file and tell you straight what shape it’s in. Then you get a written proposal with a fixed price, before I touch anything. Monthly service is a flat fee, cleanup projects get a fixed project quote, and the pricing page explains how I build both. When you’re ready, set up the free call and I’ll get right back to you.
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 Ozark sits from my desk
Ozark is about 50 minutes from my office, out 160 and across on 14. 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 Ozark business owners
Do you meet with Ozark clients in person?
Most of my work happens in QuickBooks Online and over Zoom, so the 50 minutes between Ash Grove and Ozark rarely comes up. When a face-to-face visit would help, it’s an easy trip to arrange. Either way, I call you back within 15 to 20 minutes during the day.
My construction company’s books are a couple of years behind. Where do we start?
We start with a free call, and I’ll lay out a plan without giving you a hard time about being behind. I rebuild behind books one period at a time, and books a couple of years behind are exactly the kind of job I like taking on. You get a fixed quote in writing before I begin, and the payment schedule goes in the proposal.
How much does monthly bookkeeping cost for an Ozark small business?
It’s a flat monthly fee, quoted in writing after a free review of your file. The number depends on how many transactions run through an average month, how many bank and card accounts you have, payroll, and how your business is set up. The pricing page explains what moves it.
