Frequently asked questions
Good Questions.
Clear Answers.
Do I need to sign up for a monthly package?
No. Cedarstone offers standalone consulting, bookkeeping cleanup, inventory and purchasing reviews, and systems assessments for businesses that don't need ongoing bookkeeping.
Is payroll included in the bookkeeping packages?
Payroll is a separate add-on. This lets us tailor pricing to your employee count, pay frequency and complexity rather than charging every bookkeeping client for payroll they may not need.
Do you work with businesses outside my area?
Yes. Many bookkeeping and advisory services can be delivered remotely. On-site consulting may be available by arrangement, with travel terms agreed in advance.
Can you help if my current books are behind?
Yes. We can review historical bookkeeping and prepare a separate cleanup estimate based on the work required before starting regular monthly services.
What happens during an introductory call?
We'll talk briefly about your business, your priorities and the support you need. If Cedarstone is a good fit, we'll recommend a service package or provide a scoped proposal.
