For US owners who want the numbers before they ask
Books closed by business day five. Every month, without chasing.
We reconcile every week, so month end is a review rather than a rebuild. A senior reviewer checks every pack before it is sent, with a written note on what changed and what to do about it.

The reviewer's call
Software is up on last month because two seats were added mid-month, so next month's run-rate is higher still. Confirm both seats are needed before the annual renewal.

How your close runs
Reconciled all month, so month end is a review rather than a rebuild
Finbryn is outsourced bookkeeping for US small businesses: accounts reconciled every week, books closed by business day five, and every file checked by a senior reviewer before it reaches you. Prices are published before you call, and your QuickBooks Online or Xero file stays in your name.
- What changed
- Revenue rose on last month.
- Why it matters
- One milestone invoice made up most of the rise, and it will not repeat next month.
- What to do
- Plan next month's cash on recurring revenue only, and chase the milestone invoice by its due date.
Illustrative note. The kind of judgment every pack carries.
Every week
Bank, card and processor accounts reconciled to their statements. Questions go to you while they are fresh.
Month end
Last transactions coded, accruals and prepaid items posted, open items listed with what we need from you.
Before it is sent
A senior reviewer checks every reconciliation and reads the numbers against last month.
By business day five
The pack arrives: profit and loss, balance sheet, cash, open items and a written note.
How we work
What we build every account around
Tonight's work, done by morning
Send receipts, a bill run or a question by 6:00 PM. It is reviewed and closed before your 9:00 AM, so the morning starts with answers instead of a backlog.
A reviewer on every pack
Nothing goes out until a senior reviewer has checked the reconciliations and read the numbers. The pack arrives with a short note on anything that moved.
Your file stays yours
Books live in your own QuickBooks Online or Xero subscription. If you ever leave, you take the full file and its history, and a named pod writes a handover memo if anything changes.
Set up for how you operate
Foreign-owned US LLCs filing Form 5472, ecommerce sellers reconciling marketplace payouts and multi-entity restaurant groups each get a chart of accounts built for that model from month one.

Questions
Questions before you call
What does closed by business day five mean?
By the fifth business day of each month, last month's accounts are reconciled, reviewed and sent to you as a month-end pack: profit and loss, balance sheet, cash, open items and a short written note.
Who reviews the work before I see it?
A senior reviewer checks every file before reports reach you. See the About page for how that review works, and ask on the call who would review yours.
Can I take my books if I ever leave?
Yes. Your books live in your own QuickBooks Online or Xero subscription, so the file and its full history are yours to take.
Do you work with foreign-owned US LLCs?
Yes. We handle the bookkeeping behind Form 5472 and pro-forma Form 1120 filings, prepared for signature by a credentialed preparer.
Industries
Books set up for how your business actually earns
The chart of accounts, the reconciliations and the monthly note change with the model. Three examples:
- Ecommerce (Amazon and Shopify)Bookkeeping for online sellers on Amazon, Shopify, Etsy and their own storefronts, built around clean payout and sales tax data.Where the books usually hurt
- Marketplace payouts land as one lump sum that hides sales, fees, refunds and reserves
- Cost of goods sold gets estimated instead of tracked by SKU and inventory location
- Construction and job costingBookkeeping for contractors and builders who need cost and profitability tracked by job, not just by month.Where the books usually hurt
- Labor, materials and subcontractor costs get lumped into general expense accounts instead of assigned to a job
- Work in progress does not get calculated, so profitability on active jobs is a guess until the job closes
- Agencies and consultanciesBookkeeping for marketing agencies, design studios and consulting firms billing clients on retainers and project fees.Where the books usually hurt
- Retainer income gets booked as cash received instead of spread across the service period it covers
- Contractor and subcontractor payments pile up in accounts payable without a clear view of project margin
