Monthly plans typically start around $300.
Which Ahwatukee businesses do we work with?
Ahwatukee Foothills is a Phoenix village tucked between South Mountain, the I‑10 and Chandler, and it is home to many independent professionals: therapists, dentists, consultants, real estate professionals and owners who run their business from home.
We work with Ahwatukee therapists and counselors, dental practices, salons and barbershops and consultants, plus home-based owners who need their business and personal spending separated and a clean picture for their tax preparer. Professional practices often benefit from reporting by provider or service line, which we set up in QuickBooks.
- Private practice bookkeeping for insurance and private pay
- Home office, vehicle and owner draws recorded correctly
- Monthly profit reports for solo and small group practices

Practices and consultants are busy with clients all day, so we keep the monthly work low effort for you: bank feeds and uploads come to us, questions are batched, and the reports arrive on a schedule.
How does Arizona TPT work for Ahwatukee businesses?
Arizona transaction privilege tax (TPT) is filed through the Arizona Department of Revenue, and the rate a Ahwatukee business owes is the state rate plus the county and city rates for its business activity. Your books need to track taxable sales by location and activity so every return matches what QuickBooks shows.
Ahwatukee businesses have Phoenix addresses, so any taxable sales are reported using Phoenix city rates along with the state and county. Many professional services are not subject to TPT at all, while retail sales and short-term rentals are, so we make sure each income stream is classified correctly in your books.
We set up sales tax items in QuickBooks so taxable and nontaxable income are separated, reconcile what was collected against what was filed, and keep the liability account clean so it is never a surprise. We record and reconcile TPT; the returns themselves can be filed by you or one of our tax and payroll partners.
How much does a bookkeeper cost in Ahwatukee?
Monthly bookkeeping plans for Ahwatukee businesses typically start around $300 a month. The price depends on how many bank and credit card accounts you have, your transaction volume, payroll and inventory, and how often you want to meet.
Cleanup and catch-up work is quoted as a project once we have seen the books, so you know the cost before work starts. During the free consultation Chris will tell you which plan fits and what it would cost, and you can compare that with hiring an in-house bookkeeper or doing it yourself.
