Cross Bay Bookkeeping

For CPAs and tax preparers

Your January, minus the shoebox.

Year-End Tax-Ready Close for the clients whose books aren't ready.

Every tax season, some clients hand you a year of uncategorized transactions. You either do bookkeeping at tax-prep rates or push them to an extension. Send them to us, and get back a closed year.

What lands on your desk

  • The tax year reconciled to statements and closed through December 31
  • Trial balance, P&L and balance sheet
  • 1099 vendor list for contractors paid that year
  • Fixed asset additions with cost and date
  • An open-questions memo, so you're not chasing the client
  • A change log of every adjustment we made

Why CPAs send us clients

  • We never prepare returns or give tax advice. The client stays yours.
  • No referral fees either way. You get a clean file, we get a bookkeeping client.
  • January is capped at 8 closes, so refer early.
