Case Studies

Real problems.
Real results.

Restaurant · Texas

Three years of books reconstructed in 28 days

A Dallas BBQ restaurant owner came to us with three years of unreconciled books, mixed personal and business expenses, and a looming IRS notice. Their previous bookkeeper had disappeared mid-year.

We completed a full catch-up, separated all transactions, and delivered clean financials in under a month. Result: $11,400 in previously unclaimed deductions identified.

E-Commerce · Florida

Multi-channel chaos turned into monthly clarity

A Shopify and Amazon seller with 4,000+ monthly transactions had no clear picture of profitability per channel. They were guessing at margins and couldn't plan inventory spend.

We built a channel-segmented bookkeeping system with automated reconciliation. Result: Owner identified their most profitable product line and grew it 40% in one quarter.

Construction · Ohio

Job costing that finally made sense

A mid-size contractor was winning jobs but not understanding why profit margins were inconsistent. Materials, labour, and subcontractor costs were all pooled together with no per-job visibility.

We implemented job-cost accounting with weekly WIP reports. Result: Identified two unprofitable job types and repriced them — margin improved by 12% within six months.

FAQ

Common questions about
bookkeeping & accounting services.

What does a bookkeeper do for a small business? +

A bookkeeper records and organizes all financial transactions — income, expenses, invoices, and payments — so your accounts are always accurate and up to date. At Kelmont&co., we also handle bank reconciliation, payroll, financial reporting, and prepare your books for tax season. Think of us as the financial backbone of your business.

How much does bookkeeping cost for a small business in the US? +

Bookkeeping costs vary depending on your transaction volume, business complexity, and the services you need. Kelmont&co. offers flat monthly pricing — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. We'll provide a custom quote during your free consultation. Most small businesses find our services significantly more affordable than hiring in-house staff.

What is catch-up bookkeeping and do I need it? +

Catch-up bookkeeping (also called backlog bookkeeping or clean-up bookkeeping) is the process of reconstructing and reconciling financial records for periods that were missed or incorrectly recorded. If your books are months or years behind, or you've received an IRS notice, catch-up bookkeeping is essential. We've helped businesses get fully up-to-date in as little as 28 days.

Do you work with QuickBooks and Xero? +

Yes. Kelmont&co. is led by a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and Xero Certified Advisor. We work directly inside your existing accounting software — QuickBooks Online, Xero, FreshBooks, Wave, and others — with no disruption to your current workflow. If you don't have software set up yet, we'll handle that for you too.

What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting? +

Bookkeeping is the day-to-day recording and organizing of financial transactions — invoices, expenses, payroll, and bank reconciliations. Accounting involves analyzing, interpreting, and reporting on those records for tax filing, financial planning, and strategic decisions. Kelmont&co. delivers CPA-level bookkeeping so your accountant always has perfectly clean records at tax time, saving you hundreds in CPA fees.

Which US states do you serve? +

We provide virtual bookkeeping and accounting services to small businesses in all 50 US states — including California, Texas, New York, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Georgia, Washington, North Carolina, and every other state. Our fully cloud-based workflow means geography is never a barrier to getting clean, accurate books.
