Systems & Workflow

Financial Systems Foundation establishes the core systems your bookkeeping depends on. It creates a single source of truth for how money and documentation move through your business.

This service answers the question:
“How does financial information enter, live, and stay organized in my business?”

What’s Included

  • Intake and system audit

  • Financial workflow mapping (income, expenses, documentation)

  • Receipt and document capture system setup

  • Vendor and client organization structure

  • QuickBooks alignment for clean data intake

  • Defined responsibilities and handoff points

  • Clear rules for what goes where and when

Everything is built to be simple, repeatable, and realistic.

Who This Is For

This service is ideal if:

  • Your bookkeeping feels disorganized or fragile

  • You rely on memory, emails, or texts to track finances

  • You’re starting cleanup or switching bookkeepers

  • You want your books done correctly moving forward

This is often required before cleanup or ongoing bookkeeping begins.
