How do Phoenix businesses work with an East Valley bookkeeper?
Most Phoenix clients work with us online: QuickBooks Online or NetSuite, secure bank feeds and document uploads, and a monthly call or video meeting. Our office in Chandler is available for in-person meetings.
Working online means your location in the Valley does not change the service. You get the same monthly close, the same reports and the same direct line to Chris as a client down the street from our office.
How does Arizona TPT work for Phoenix businesses?
Arizona transaction privilege tax (TPT) is filed through the Arizona Department of Revenue, and the rate a Phoenix 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.
Phoenix businesses with taxable activity report Phoenix city TPT along with the state and Maricopa County portions, and businesses with locations or jobs in more than one city need sales tracked by location. Nonprofits may have exemptions for some activities but not others, so we review each income stream when we set up the 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 Phoenix?
Monthly bookkeeping plans for Phoenix 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.
