Everything you need to know about working with Peterson Bookkeeping & Advisory.
Bookkeeping keeps your records accurate and current — reconciliation, categorization, monthly close, clean reports. Advisory uses those numbers to help you make decisions — cash flow planning, profitability analysis, growth strategy. Most clients start with bookkeeping and add advisory once they're ready for strategic guidance.
Established small businesses doing roughly $1M–$10M in revenue who need strategic financial guidance but aren't ready to hire a full-time CFO. If you're making decisions about hiring, pricing, expansion, or financing and want someone in your corner who knows your numbers cold, advisory is for you.
Not necessarily, but it helps. Advisory works best when the books are clean and current — that's the data we'll plan from. If your records need work, we'll often start with a catch-up and clean-up, then layer in advisory once the foundation is solid.
Most clients meet with me monthly for a structured strategy session — we review the financials together, talk through what's coming, and decide on next steps. Between meetings, I'm available for questions. Quarterly we step back for a deeper business review.
I partner with business owners — contractors, consultants, local shops, professional services firms, and more — who want reliable, hands-on bookkeeping and strategic financial guidance.
I'm a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and primarily work with QuickBooks Online, which is perfect for most small businesses. I can discuss other platforms if you're already set up elsewhere.
Absolutely. I specialize in getting you up-to-date quickly and stress-free, no matter how far behind things might feel.
Your data's safety is my priority. All records are encrypted and handled through secure, trusted platforms — never emailed or left exposed.
Nope. I coordinate with your existing accountant or payroll service, or can refer you to trusted partners if you ever need a change.
Services are tailored to your needs and the level of support you want. After a free call, I provide a clear, no-surprises quote. Advisory and Complete engagements are typically billed as a fixed monthly retainer.
It depends on the engagement. Bookkeeping clients typically check in monthly or quarterly. Advisory clients meet with me monthly for strategy sessions, with availability between meetings. I'm always reachable for urgent questions.
I don't provide tax preparation, but I make tax season easy with organized, CPA-ready books. I also work with a network of trusted tax professionals and can refer you to the right fit for your business.
