QuickBooks Bookkeeper | Honolulu, Hawaii
I keep the books for small businesses across Hawaii. Every account reconciled every month, so the numbers on your reports are ones you can do something with.
It costs nothing. We go through your QuickBooks together and I tell you what I see, whether you hire me or not.
What messy books cost
Most books I open look clean from the outside. Underneath, they are built wrong, so your CPA has to go digging before they can file anything, and your reports do not tell you much.
In this example that meant income tax on money the business never made. That is why the first look is free.
Example figures
How it works
You can stop after any of them.
We go through your books together. Within five business days you have a written summary of what I found and what I would do about it.
If the books need fixing, you get a fixed price up front, based on what the diagnostic found. No hourly meter.
Every account reconciled to the penny each month. At year end your CPA gets books they do not have to dig through.
Once the books are right, the pieces start to fit. We use them to see where your profit comes from and to get ready for the slow months.

Hawaii GET

4.5% on every island today, up to 4.712% passed on. If your books go back before 2024 on Maui, or before 2020 on Hawaii Island, the rate for those years was lower, and a catch-up has to use it.

About
I’m Rodrigo Guerrero. I kept the books for my own businesses first, then spent two years training before I opened Crucible Ledger Co. in Honolulu. This work fits what I believe in. It helps people, instead of just looking like it does. I am thorough, and I care whether your business makes it. Give it a few months and I start to feel less like your bookkeeper and more like a business partner.
We go through your QuickBooks together and I tell you what I see. If your books are clean enough, I will also show you a few quick moves that could put more money in your pocket.
