Our Process: How We Work Together

Getting your finances on track is all about giving you freedom and peace of mind. We’ve designed a simple, open, and collaborative process so you always feel empowered and connected to your numbers. Here is a quick look at how we partner with you to fuel your business growth:

Client Assessment

Every great partnership starts with a conversation. We’ll meet to discuss your current business setup, identify your biggest financial pain points, and map out exactly how we can support your goals.

Onboarding & Document Collection

Once we decide we’re a great fit, we make the transition seamless. We’ll securely gather your necessary financial documents and system access so we can take over the heavy lifting without disrupting your daily operations.

Cleanup & Setup (If Needed)

If your records are a bit messy or a few months behind, take a deep breath—there’s zero judgment here. We’ll jump in, sort through the chaos, and get everything beautifully organized so we have a fresh, accurate starting point.

Consistent Monthly Bookkeeping

With the foundation built, we handle the regular maintenance behind the scenes. Month after month, we keep your transactions categorized, your accounts reconciled, and your records completely up to date.

Clear Reporting & Open Communication

Data is only useful if you understand it. Every month, we’ll deliver clear, easy-to-read financial reports and touch base to review the health of your business, ensuring you always have the insights you need to scale with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does SJE Bookkeeping securely manage remote financial data and QuickBooks access from Lower Burrell, PA?
We prioritize your data security by utilizing encrypted, industry-standard cloud networks to serve small businesses nationwide. You can easily upload financial records, bank statements, and receipts via secure platforms like Google Drive or Dropbox. By inviting us directly as an accountant user on your QuickBooks Online account, we handle your ongoing ledgers efficiently from our Lower Burrell office without ever requiring physical access to your checkbooks or primary banking passwords.
Can a Lower Burrell-area remote bookkeeper handle complex industry needs like construction job costing or boutique retail inventory?

Absolutely. Thanks to Sharon’s 38+ years of professional accounting experience across diverse fields, SJE Bookkeeping understands the specialized compliance and reporting your business requires. We routinely manage Work-in-Progress (WIP) tracking and detailed job costing for construction and field services, multi-channel inventory reconciliation for eCommerce and boutique retail, and legal compliance workflows for professional firms. We specialize in tailoring your QuickBooks Desktop or QuickBooks Online setup to mirror your industry’s exact operational needs.

I already have a CPA. Why do I need a separate bookkeeping service?

Think of your CPA and your monthly bookkeeper as two different specialists on your financial team. Your CPA is a year-end tax strategist who primarily reviews your files to file returns. SJE Bookkeeping acts as your daily and monthly financial defense system. We ensure your transactions are accurately categorized, balanced, and organized throughout the year. When tax season arrives, we deliver an audit-ready, crystal-clean set of books directly to your CPA, saving you significant billable hours and preventing stressful tax-time surprises.

How long does a historical book cleanup or catch-up project typically take for a family-owned small business?

The timeline for a deep diagnostic cleanup depends entirely on how many months or years your records are behind and the number of bank or credit card accounts involved. A standard 1-to-3-month catch-up project is often finalized within a week. For more extensive historical book cleanups (6 to 12+ months behind), it generally takes 2 to 4 weeks to thoroughly audit past data, reconcile balance sheet errors, and troubleshoot hidden discrepancies. We provide a definitive project timeline alongside your custom data rescue quote.

What makes Sharon’s personalized QuickBooks training sessions more effective than standard online video courses?

Most automated online tutorials simply show you which buttons to click inside the software. Sharon Eilart, MBA, provides interactive, personalized QuickBooks training with foundational accounting integration over Zoom. Instead of just memorizing data entry, you or your internal staff learn why transactions are categorized in specific ways, how accounts payable and receivable interact with your cash flow, and how to spot structural red flags. Every session is customized to your live business accounts and includes practical troubleshooting guidelines.

Not Sure Which Solution Fits Your Needs?
