Question 1

What does a bookkeeper actually do?

Accepted Answer

We record and categorize every transaction, reconcile your accounts to the bank, produce monthly financial statements, and keep your books audit-ready. Think of it as the financial back office that lets your CPA, lender, and team trust the numbers.

Question 2

Why hire Amorcil instead of doing it myself?

Accepted Answer

Most owners can do their own books, they just shouldn't. The hours add up (we average 260/year saved per client), and DIY mistakes get expensive at tax time. Outsourcing means specialist eyes, predictable cost, and your evenings back.

Question 3

How is Amorcil different from a full-time bookkeeper?

Accepted Answer

A full-time hire averages around $65k/yr loaded. Our Entrepreneur tier is $4,800/yr, and you get a whole team behind it instead of a single person who might leave or take vacation.

Question 4

What software do you support?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in QuickBooks Online. We also work with most major payroll platforms (Gusto, ADP, Paychex). If you're on something else, ask, we've probably worked with it.

Question 5

Do I need a contract?

Accepted Answer

We use a simple month-to-month engagement letter. No long-term lock-in, no early-termination fees. We earn your trust month by month.

Question 6

What does onboarding look like?

Accepted Answer

Week 1: Discovery Meeting and access setup. Week 2: We dig into your books and surface any cleanup needed. Week 3-4: First monthly close delivered. From there, you're in our regular rhythm.

Question 7

My books are a disaster. Will you take me on?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and you're not alone. Most new clients arrive with at least one quarter of catch-up. We scope the cleanup as a one-time project, then move you onto a regular monthly tier once you're current.

Question 8

How long does cleanup usually take?

Accepted Answer

Typically 4-8 weeks depending on volume and how tangled things are. We'll give you a fixed-fee quote after a 30-minute diagnostic, no open-ended hourly billing.

Question 9

What if my transaction volume changes?

Accepted Answer

We review your tier annually. Outgrowing Essentials? We'll move you to Entrepreneur with a heads-up first. Slowing down? You can move down a tier, too. Pricing should match the actual work.
