I’m Diane Jones, a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor about 30 minutes up Highway 160 in Ash Grove. Some of my Springfield clients I sit down with, most I never do. The work’s the same either way, and it’s the same work I do for clients in other states: reconciled accounts, a clean file, your financial package in a shared folder by the 15th.
Springfield businesses I work with
Springfield runs on services and healthcare, with a lot of small trades underneath. Those are the businesses I’m set up for. I keep books for the property managers and landlords working the rental corridors around Missouri State, who need per-property tracking and owner statements more than anything else in the file. I work with contractors staying busy on the south side and out toward Republic Road, who want job costing that matches the checkbook and 1099s ready for their subs in January. And the service businesses all over town, from the shops and restaurants on Commercial Street to HVAC and lawn crews, need merchant deposits reconciled and books that show which work pays.
Where in Springfield
Wherever you are in town, I can help: downtown and along Commercial Street, the shops on Glenstone and Battlefield Road, the crews working Republic Road, Kearney Street, and the north side, and the rentals around Missouri State and Drury and the houses in Rountree, Galloway, and Chesterfield Village. The books look the same from my desk in Ash Grove whichever side of town you’re on. If you’re out in Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Willard, or Battlefield, those towns each have their own page, and yes, I work with businesses there too.
Monthly bookkeeping for Springfield businesses
Every monthly plan works the same. I enter and categorize every transaction, reconcile your bank and credit card accounts, record and reconcile every payroll transaction from your payroll provider, and put your financial package in a shared Google Drive folder by the 15th. When something looks odd, I call and ask you about it instead of guessing. The fee is a flat monthly amount that fits an average month of transactions, and you get the price in writing before I touch anything. The pricing page explains how I build that quote, and the monthly bookkeeping page walks through what a month with me looks like.
Cleanup for Springfield companies
Maybe your QuickBooks file has duplicates and balances that match nothing. Maybe the books are months or years behind. That’s how most owners sound the first time they call, and I especially like the files that are years behind. A cleanup project, even one that is years behind, gets a fixed quote in writing after a free review of your file, so you know the number before I start.
When you just need an hour of advice
Just opened something in Springfield and not sure what you’re supposed to be doing with the accounting side? That’s what financial business consulting is for. Financial business consulting is $85 an hour. We sit down on Zoom or the phone, go through what you’ve got, and you leave knowing what to set up and what to stop worrying about.
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 Springfield sits from my desk
Springfield is about 30 minutes from my office, straight down Highway 160. 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.
