Marrow & Finch

Your books, closed by the fifth working day.

Marrow & Finch keeps the accounts of owner-run shops, studios and small partnerships. One named bookkeeper, one monthly close, a fixed fee agreed before we start.

1What the work is

A monthly close, done the same way every month

On the first working day we pull your bank and card feeds. By the fifth you have a reconciled ledger, a one-page summary of what changed, and a list of anything we could not match with a receipt.

We do not file your tax return and we do not give tax advice. When a question needs an accountant, we say so and hand over a clean file.

Three fixed monthly fees

Sole trader or studio
$140
Up to 80 transactions
Small shop
$320
Up to 250 transactions, payroll journal
Partnership
$590
Up to 500 transactions, two entities

3How a month goes

Five working days

  1. Day 1. We import the bank and card lines for the month.
  2. Day 2. We match each line to a receipt, invoice or your note.
  3. Day 3. You answer a short list of questions, usually under ten.
  4. Day 4. We reconcile and review the month against the last three.
  5. Day 5. You receive the ledger, the summary and the open items.
4Who we are not for

Honest limits

If you need inventory costing, multi-currency treasury or a controller on call, a larger firm will serve you better and we will say so on the first call.
