Common Questions Answered
How much will it cost me?
Most of my clients average an invoice of $55.00 to $200.00 per month, for monthly or semi-monthly services.
Do I need to sign a contract?
Yes, if you are an on-going client I have a simple and straightforward, one-page contract for you to sign. It outlines what I will do for you, my client confidentiality policy, payment policies, and my service guarantee. Since my clients are the sole judge or my performance, if at any time you are unsatisfied with my work you may cancel your contract with written notice to Lux Bookkeeping.
Is my business too small?
Never. I am focused on small and home-based businesses, the self-employed and entrepreneurs. I am here to help whether you need 2 hours of bookkeeping a year, or 10 hours each week.
I'm not located in Central California, can you still help me?
Yes, of course! I offer completely remote services for both local and long-distance clients. Utilizing the most secure and modern project communication tools and remote access services, I ensure all my client’s projects are up to date no matter where in the world they might be.
Why should I hire a bookkeeper?
There are many good reasons to hire a bookkeeper. Bookkeepers take all of your sales, expense receipts, and other financial paperwork, analyze the data, and condense it down to just a few short reports. These reports will help you monitor your business’s progress and growth, show real profits, and can aid you in planning the future of your small business. I manage your finances so you can focus on what you do best.
How long will it take to complete my bookkeeping?
Most projects are completed within 3-5 business days, or one week. Complicated and more intensive projects may take longer.
Do you offer catch-up bookkeeping?
Yes, tax catch-up bookkeeping is one of my most popular services! Many small businesses come to me months, or even years, behind in their bookkeeping and financial data and tax returns. Lux Bookkeeping can take the stress off by gathering all of your documents and organizing your financial data into an orderly system in a matter of days, getting you ready for tax preparation in about a week. Never put off filing your taxes or file an extension again, let me help today
Do you help with more than just bookkeeping?
Yes! I can assist you with budgeting, cash flow management, financial statements, customized reports and forms, business planning, sales tax, administrative services and even graphic design! Learn more about my services
How much experience do you have? Do you have references?
I have been using QuickBooks since 2001 and started Lux Bookkeeping in 2006 – that’s 15 plus years of using the online and desktop version on a daily basis. If QuickBooks can do it, I can make it work. I also have excellent references, available upon request after completion of a complimentary consultation. Because I strive to offer great customer service, many of my clients have been with me since the beginning. You can also see my skills and endorsements here on my LinkedIn profile.
How do I get started?
Call today to set up a free consultation at (858) 367-3050 to discuss your unique business situation and financial needs. Once I have collected information about how you work, where your business is at, and where you would like it to go, I can create an estimate for your specific needs. If during your initial consultation an accurate estimate cannot be created due to lack of information, I will help you create a detailed action plan to gather the needed information. If you approve of your estimate, the next steps include:
- Review and sign a simple and straight forward, one-page contract
- Gather your financial source data, such as banking statements, invoices and receipts
- Sit back and let me work for you!
