Question 1

Can you take over mid-year?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We review the existing ledger, clean what is needed, and continue monthly closes without waiting for January.

Question 2

What software do you support?

Accepted Answer

QuickBooks, Xero, and similar cloud tools are common. We can set up a new file or clean an existing one.

Question 3

When do monthly books close?

Accepted Answer

On our standard engagement we target close by the 10th business day after month end, with statements ready for review.

Question 4

Do you handle bill pay and receivables?

Accepted Answer

Those are optional add-ons. Core bookkeeping covers categorization, reconciliations, and monthly statements.

Question 5

Will our books be audit-ready?

Accepted Answer

We keep reconciled workpapers and clear support. That makes tax prep and assurance reviews much smoother.

Question 6

What if our current books are a mess?

Accepted Answer

Cleanup is normal. We scope a catch-up project, then move you onto a steady monthly close.

Question 7

Do you work with our tax preparer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Whether tax is with Pear or elsewhere, we deliver a clean year-end package for return prep.

Question 8

How do you communicate each month?

Accepted Answer

You get statements, a short variance note when useful, and a clear channel for questions during the close.
