Or you can just reach out below.

Don’t know what to ask?
Tell me what your business does, where you work, and what you would like help understanding. You might need regular bookkeeping, help catching up, or a clearer way to keep track of the work you are already doing. You do not need a perfect set of books to start a conversation.For a construction, roofing, plumbing or handyman business, mention whether you keep records by job. That gives us a practical starting point for talking about how your books support your work.

No.
Courage works with business owners remotely and visits customers in person. We focus on Yakima County and also serve the Ellensburg area. Include your location and preferred way to meet so we can discuss what works for your business.
-
A short description of your business, the bookkeeping system you currently use, and the question you want help answering is enough to begin. If you are behind, an estimate of how far behind is useful. Please do not send bank passwords or sensitive financial documents through this form; we can agree on an appropriate way to share records when needed.
-
Statements, receipts, invoices and notes about unusual transactions are a useful starting point. The details depend on your accounts and how we work together. Our monthly records checklist for Yakima contractors explains how to prepare and what to flag.

Tell me which parts you want to keep doing and where you would like help. We can talk through your current records and bookkeeping needs before deciding what support makes sense. You can also review the bookkeeping plans on our homepage before reaching out.
