What clients are saying

Questions business owners ask

How much does bookkeeping cost?

Every business is different, so I price based on your transaction volume, number of accounts, and the services you need, no one-size-fits-all packages. After a free consultation I'll send a clear, fixed monthly quote so there are no surprises.

Do you work with businesses outside Portland?

Yes. I'm based in Portland, OR and work virtually with clients across Oregon and California. Everything is handled securely online, so your location is never a barrier.

My books are behind or a mess, can you still help?

Absolutely, and there's no judgment. Catch-up and cleanup is one of my most requested services. I'll reconcile every account, fix miscategorized transactions, and bring your books fully current and tax-ready.

What's the difference between a bookkeeper and a CPA?

A bookkeeper keeps your day-to-day records accurate; a CPA brings higher-level tax and advisory expertise. With Parker Bookkeeping you get both in one person, I'm a CPA who does your books, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Do I have to use QuickBooks?

QuickBooks Online is what I recommend and I'm a Certified Level 2 ProAdvisor, but I'll meet you where you are, including setup, cleanup, and training if you're new to it.
