The Rundown

Sound familiar?

Your bank feed hasn't been touched since March. Receipts live in a drawer, an inbox, or nowhere.

You don't actually know your profit margins. Revenue looks fine — profit is a mystery.

Quarterly estimated taxes catch you off guard. Every single time.

1099s for contractors and vendors get done in a panic the last week of January.

Your last bookkeeper ghosted, or was really an admin doing this on the side.

You'd rather spend your time on work that makes money than on a spreadsheet that doesn't.

Rates

One flat number. No surprises.

Priced like a project, not billed like a lawyer. Pick the tier that fits your team — move up or down whenever your business does.

How It Runs

Three steps, start to finish.

01 — Estimate

Free look at your books

Send over what you've got, messy or not. You'll get a flat monthly rate and a clear cleanup number if there's backlog — no guessing games.

02 — Setup

Chart of accounts, built right

Your QuickBooks file gets set up (or fixed) to actually reflect how your business works — revenue streams, vendors, project or department tracking, the whole picture.

03 — Monthly Close

Books closed, reports in hand

Every month, reconciled and closed by the same date. You get a P&L that actually tells you if the business made money.

Who's Doing The Work

Local, licensed, and built for small business.

Clear Street Tax is run by Joe Balkovic, a Mechanicsburg-based bookkeeper and Enrolled Agent — licensed by the IRS for full representation rights, so your books and your tax return are handled by the same person who knows both.

No enterprise clients, no retail chains. Just small businesses that want a bookkeeper who actually understands cash flow, contractor payments, and why your March invoices don't match your March deposits.
