Accounting
"Most small companies do not have a books problem. They have a close problem. Close on time, close clean, the rest follows."
— Lead CPA, 724 Care Accounting

reviewed by a CPA.

What is distinctive about this practice.
№ i
A US-licensed CPA reviews the close.
Every monthly close is reviewed by a US-licensed CPA on our team before the financials are sent to you. The Manila accountants do the work; the CPA signs off on it. Cheaper bookkeeping shops skip this step. It is the step that matters.
№ ii
Close by the 10th business day.
Standard SLA on the Professional and Executive tiers: monthly financials in your inbox by the 10th business day of the following month. We close on time because we close every month the same way — same checklist, same reconciliations, same review.
№ iii
No surprises in your audit.
For the Executive tier we keep your PBC list current month-to-month, not in a panic in March. When your auditor or lender asks for the schedule, the schedule is already done. Audit prep stops being a project.
№ iv
Built to hand off.
The work is documented in your books, not in a Manila accountant's head. If you ever bring accounting in-house or move to another firm, you take the SOPs, the close checklist, and the dashboards with you. We do not hostage you with tribal knowledge.

A Day in the Life
Reginald
Senior accountant on the Professional tier, paired with a $9M direct-to-consumer brand
Tuesday, the 4th of the month. Reginald is in close mode. The bank feeds reconciled overnight; he opens his Manila workstation to a checklist with 38 items, of which 22 are already done by the team. He picks up the prepaid amortisations, the inventory-in-transit accrual, and the Shopify-to-bank settlement timing differences — three things that bite this client every month and that he now expects, schedules for, and clears in under an hour.
By midday Manila time he is on a short Zoom with the client's COO: the freight number is up, here is why, here is what it does to gross margin, and here is the one line in the contract with the new 3PL that should be flagged before next month. The COO did not ask for the read; Reginald wrote it because the variance crossed the threshold the lead CPA had asked them to flag. The CPA reads the variance memo on her morning, signs off on the close packet, and the financials land in the founder's inbox before the 10th business day, as they have every month for two years.
At end-of-day he updates the year-end PBC list — three items moved to done, one item marked as needing a confirmation from the client's tax preparer. When the auditor comes in February, the list will already be ready. The work that earns the fee is not the bookkeeping. It is the closing on time, every month, without drama. The closing is what compounds.
Plain answers.
Are your accountants CPAs?
The senior reviewer on every engagement is a US-licensed CPA. The day-to-day accountants are senior Philippine CPAs or qualified equivalents. The combination is the model.
Which platforms do you work in?
Xero and QuickBooks Online on Starter and Professional. NetSuite and Sage Intacct on Executive. We do not work in pure Excel-on-shared-drive setups; we will help you migrate first.
Will you handle our taxes?
No — we are deliberately not your tax preparer. We deliver a clean, tax-ready package to your CPA firm. If you do not have one, we will introduce you to two we trust.
Can you clean up a year of messy books?
Yes. Catch-up and clean-up are quoted as one-time projects, separate from the monthly engagement. Most clean-ups land between $2,400 and $9,000 depending on the mess.
How fast can you start?
Onboarding takes 7–10 business days because we insist on documenting the close before we own it. Cheaper shops will start tomorrow. They will also miss things.
Is our financial data secure?
Work is performed on managed hardware in our Manila office, behind a VPN, with role-based access in your accounting system and quarterly access reviews. We will sign your security questionnaire.

Show us last month's close.
We'll tell you what's missing.
Send us your last close packet — even if it is a screenshot of a P&L. Our lead CPA will write back with a 200-word read on what is clean, what is suspect, and what would need to be done differently if we owned the close. No obligation.
