What gets kept

Pick one, or bring all three.

Each service stands on its own. If you only need the books kept, that is what happens. If the filings and the payroll come with it, they are done by the same hands rather than passed along.

Filed monthly

Bookkeeping

Clean books, reconciled every month, with reports you can actually read. General ledger, payables and receivables, job costing, bank and card reconciliations, sales tax filings, and QuickBooks setup or cleanup when the file has drifted.

Why one CPA

A practice this size has nowhere to hide.

There is no junior associate reading your file for the first time and no rotating account manager. Michael Hayes reviews the ledger, prepares the return, and runs the payroll himself. Every one of the sixteen Google reviews on this practice names him personally, not the firm, because there is no firm behind him to hide inside.

Church accounting is a named part of the practice rather than a sideline: designated funds, clergy compensation, and a board that needs a statement it can actually understand. The logo has a cross in it for a reason.

Checkable, not claimed

Ramsey Solutions vetted this practice before letting it carry the name.

In Michael's own words, this recognition isn't bought, it's earned. It is a credential somebody else checked, which is worth more than anything a website can say about itself.
