Questions? Fair.
Accounting comes with enough confusing shit. Working with your accountant shouldn’t.
Do I need to know anything about accounting?
Nope. You run your business. Knowing what a reconciliation is was never supposed to be your job. I’ll explain what matters in normal human language and handle the accounting part.
My books are a mess. Are you going to judge me?
Absolutely not. Behind, confused, mixed-up accounts, mystery transactions, I’ve seen it. The goal is to figure out what happened and fix it, not make you feel bad about it.
Do you only work with artists and creative businesses?
No. Corvid was built with artists, creatives, makers, misfits, and unconventional business owners in mind, but you don’t need tattoos or an Etsy shop to work with me. If the approach fits, you’re welcome here.
Do you work with clients remotely?
Yep. Corvid is fully virtual. We can communicate by email, video call, phone, and secure online tools, so you don’t need to be anywhere near me.
What accounting software do you work with?
QuickBooks Online is my primary accounting platform, but I also have extensive experience with the various other accounting platforms, payroll, bill pay, payment processors, reporting tools, and the assorted software your business has accumulated along the way.
How much does this cost?
It depends on what your business actually needs. Checkups start at $299, cleanups at $750, and ongoing bookkeeping at $500/month. Systems, reporting, and more complicated situations are scoped individually.
What if I don’t know which service I need?
That’s completely fine. Tell me what’s going on, or what feels wrong, and I’ll help figure out what kind of support actually makes sense. You don’t need to diagnose your own accounting problem first.
Can you clean up old or behind books?
Yes. Catch-up and cleanup work is a big part of what I do. We’ll figure out where things went sideways, get the books back into shape, and build something you can actually maintain going forward.
Do you do taxes?
Corvid focuses on bookkeeping, accounting systems, cleanup, reporting, and financial insight rather than tax return preparation. I can keep your books organized and tax-ready and work alongside your tax professional when needed.
Can you help with payroll, bills, invoicing, or other accounting systems?
Yes. Depending on the engagement, I can help with payroll coordination, accounts payable and receivable, QuickBooks setup, platform migrations, reporting, and getting the different pieces of your accounting system to actually work together.
Still have a weirdly specific question?
Good. Weird accounting problems are kind of my thing.
