Bookkeeping & Accounting

Fresno Monthly Bookkeeping & CPA Accounting You Can Trust

Running a business is demanding—and your books shouldn’t add to the stress. At Harlan Willow Accounting Group, we keep monthly bookkeeping and accounting handled for business owners across Fresno, Clovis, and the Central Valley, so your financials are accurate, current, and ready whenever you need them: for a tax deadline, a lender, or a decision you’re making this week.

Every engagement is priced as a flat monthly fee. No hourly billing, and no surprise invoice for asking a question.

Supporting Your Business Month After Month

We work with you at one of two levels, depending on where your business is right now.

Monthly Bookkeeping keeps the books right every month — reconciliations, clean financial statements, and a general ledger you can rely on.

Monthly Accounting with CPA Advisory adds a CPA actively working your tax position through the year: income timing, estimated payments, and entity-level opportunities addressed before the window closes rather than after it.

Most owners start with bookkeeping and move up when the tax bill starts outgrowing the bookkeeping question. If you are not sure which fits, that is a five-minute conversation.

Monthly Bank & Credit Card Reconciliations: All bank, credit card, and key balance-sheet accounts reconciled to source documents for an accurate, audit-ready ledger.
Monthly Financial Reporting: GAAP-informed P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow reports prepared monthly—complete with a simple, plain-English summary of key movements and insights.
Sales Tax & Compliance Awareness: We keep California sales tax considerations top-of-mind and flag issues before they become problems. When applicable, we support your filings or coordinate with your sales tax provider.
General Ledger & Chart of Accounts Maintenance: We maintain clean ledgers, streamline your Chart of Accounts, correct categorization errors, and help prevent reporting inaccuracies.
QuickBooks Setup & Support: We optimize your bookkeeping systems—including QBO setup, integrations, and monthly ledger hygiene—so your books stay clean and functional.
CPA Tax Strategy Check-Ins: Included with the advisory tier. Monthly or quarterly working sessions covering income timing, estimated payment adjustments, and entity-level planning, so nothing is a surprise in April.

Note: We coordinate and integrate with your AP/AR and payroll systems, but execution of payroll runs, invoicing, or bill pay is out of scope.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE EACH MONTH

Compliance, Handled

Your monthly bookkeeping and accounting stay aligned with IRS and California FTB requirements. We flag issues early, keep your records organized, and keep you compliant all year, not just at tax time.

Fixed & Transparent Pricing
