§ 02 — Proof before promises
Verified credentials. Readable books.
You should not have to guess whether your bookkeeper knows QuickBooks or whether the work will be ready when your CPA asks. The basics are verified up front, then delivered every month.

— what you get back
0hrs
That's the ten hours a month most owners spend worrying about their own books. Gone. Off your plate, off your mind, back in your week.
§ 02 — Why work with me
01
Accuracy first, always.
Every transaction is categorized correctly the first time. When your CPA asks, the answer's already in the books, not a three-day scavenger hunt through bank statements.
02
Organized so you can find anything.
A consistent chart of accounts, clean attachments, and reports that read the same way every month. You stop guessing where the money went.
03
Detail-oriented, quietly.
I read every line. Duplicate charges, mis-coded transfers, a subscription that should have been cancelled, caught before it becomes a tax-time problem.
§ 03 — About
Your books shouldn't be on your mind.
They're all that's on mine. I'm a one-person practice by design. You'll always be talking to the same person, and the books are the thing I'm thinking about, not a side project between client meetings.
I've been doing this since 2023 from Clovis, California, serving small businesses who'd rather spend their evenings not in QuickBooks.

§ 06 — Questions before we talk
Bookkeeping questions, answered plainly.
What does a bookkeeper do?
A bookkeeper keeps your financial records current by categorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, and preparing reports that show how your business is doing.
How often do my books need to be updated?
Monthly is the right rhythm for most small businesses. It keeps decisions current and avoids a stressful year-end scramble.
Can you clean up old QuickBooks files?
Yes. Cleanup work can correct historical entries, fix reconciliation issues, remove duplicates, and prepare the books for ongoing service or CPA review.
Do I need a CPA?
Usually, yes. A bookkeeper keeps the books clean and current; a CPA or tax preparer handles tax strategy and tax filing.
How much does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Pricing depends on transaction volume, number of accounts, cleanup needs, and reporting complexity. A short consultation is the fastest way to scope it correctly.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. QuickBooks Online makes remote bookkeeping practical for businesses in Clovis, Fresno, the Central Valley, and throughout California.
Do you only serve California?
No. Martinez Bookkeeping is based in Clovis, California, but can support U.S. businesses that use QuickBooks Online.
How do I get started?

§ 07 — Insights
Notes from the books.
Plain-English answers to the questions small-business owners actually ask me.
How clean books make tax time easier for your CPA
Your CPA files the return. What happens in the eleven months before that is what decides how painful, or how cheap, that filing turns out to be.
