Where’s your business right now?

Every plan is built for a stage, not a company size. Pick the one that sounds like your week.

Stage 1 · Foundation plan

Start clean. Stay clean.

The most expensive accounting mistakes happen in year one — the wrong entity, mixed personal and business spending, quarterly taxes discovered in April. We set you up right the first time, then keep it effortless: your books stay current on their own and your quarterly tax estimates just show up.

  • Entity formation — LLC or S-Corp, chosen for your tax picture
  • EIN, state registrations & licenses
  • Accounting system + custom chart of accounts
  • Payroll setup and a compliance calendar you can trust
  • First-year tax strategy, planned upfront

Stage 2 · Autopilot plan · Most popular

Get your Saturdays back.

First hires, real invoice volume, cash-flow anxiety — this is where admin quietly eats the founder. It’s also where automation pays for itself fastest. We run the books, payroll, and taxes, and install workflows that chase invoices, collect receipts, and flag problems before they cost you money.

Bookkeeping & Monthly Close

Clean books you can actually trust, closed on a schedule you can plan around.

  • Transaction categorization & bank reconciliations
  • Monthly close with financial statements delivered
  • AR/AP tracking so cash never surprises you
  • Bookkeeping Tune-Up for messy or behind books

Payroll Services

Your team paid correctly and on time — with every filing handled.

  • Payroll setup, processing & direct deposit
  • Federal & state payroll tax filings (941, 940, state)
  • W-2 and 1099 preparation at year-end
  • Contractor vs. employee compliance guidance

Stage 3 · CFO plan

A finance function — without the finance hires.

Past $1M — or the moment investors are involved — clean books stop being enough. You need to see around corners: what cash looks like in 90 days, which products actually make money, what the board will ask before they ask it. It all runs on the automated foundation of Autopilot, so CFO-level insight doesn’t come with CFO-level cost.

Financial Reporting & Operations

Know exactly where the business stands — without asking anyone to “pull the numbers.”

  • Cash-flow management & forecasting
  • Monthly financial statements & KPI dashboards
  • Budget vs. actual reviews
  • Cost & margin analysis that finds leaks

Efficiency Consulting

We’ve spent years speeding up finance processes inside public companies. We bring the same playbook to yours.

  • Process mapping — find where hours actually go
  • Close acceleration: weeks → days
  • Tooling recommendations that fit your stack
  • Automation roadmap, prioritized by ROI
Plans & pricing

Every plan is scoped and priced before work starts. No hourly rates, no contracts — your data is always yours.

Wait, you can do that?

We automate things you didn’t know were automatable

Invoice chasing, in your voice

Polite reminders for good customers, firmer ones for repeat late payers. Your tone, not a robot’s.

Errors caught before month-end

Duplicates and miscategorized charges flagged the day they happen — not discovered at tax time.

Receipts that file themselves

Forward it, snap it, or let us auto-pull it. Matched to the transaction and filed without you.

Payroll crunch, seen 3 weeks out

A cash warning based on your real payment patterns — never the night before payday.

1099s, assembled automatically

Contractor payments pulled from PayPal, Stripe, and your bank into ready-to-file 1099s.

Billing questions, pre-answered

Customer emails arrive with a drafted reply and the order history already pulled in. You just hit send.

How it works

From audit to autopilot in three steps

1

Free back-office audit

One call. We map how your books, payroll, and taxes run today, then show you the five things we’d automate first — and what they’d save in hours and dollars. Yours to keep either way.

2

We set it up

We migrate your books, connect your tools, and build your workflows — tested against your real data, reviewed by a licensed CPA. Most clients are live in 2–4 weeks.

3

It runs

Books stay current, payroll goes out, reports land in your inbox. You approve things from your phone. A CPA signs everything that matters.

Why KSR

Reasons that actually mean something

Public-company rigor

Your books are run by people who close real books at NASDAQ-listed companies — audits, controls, and all.

Flat fees, no meters

Every engagement scoped and priced before work starts. Asking us a question never costs you money.

Systems, not heroics

Documented processes and automation mean your finances never depend on one person’s memory — or ours.

Answers in one business day

Same team member start to finish, and you’ll never chase us. Responsiveness is part of the service, not a favor.

FAQ

Business questions, answered

What business structures do you help set up?+
LLCs, S-Corps, C-Corps, and partnerships — always aligned with your business goals and tax strategy.
Can you handle ongoing bookkeeping and payroll?+
Yes. Bookkeeping, monthly close, payroll processing, and all the related filings — year-round, as one accountable partner.
How does efficiency consulting work?+
We map your current process, measure where hours actually go, and deliver a prioritized plan — quick wins first, automation where it pays for itself. You can implement with us or on your own.
How can you help my business reduce taxes?+
We specialize in tax planning — maximizing deductions, credits, and entity strategies to lower your tax burden.
What industries do you specialize in?+
Small businesses, start-ups, retail, healthcare, construction, marketing, finance, and the creator economy.
Do you run payroll, or just set it up?+
We run it. Every cycle, every filing, every state you hire in — plus W-2s and 1099s at year-end. You approve each run from your phone; a CPA oversees the filings.
Can we switch to KSR mid-year?+
Yes — it’s the most common way clients arrive. We take over your books as-is, clean up what needs cleaning, and you’ll know the fixed cleanup price before we start.
Do I have to switch accounting software?+
Almost never. We build around QuickBooks, Xero, and the tools you already use — and only recommend a change when it clearly pays for itself.
What does the automation actually cost?+
It’s built into your monthly plan — not sold separately. The one-time setup fee covers building and testing your workflows; after that, they’re just how your service runs.
Is there a contract?+
No lock-in. Month to month, cancel anytime, and every report and record leaves with you. We’d rather earn your business every month.

Hand off the back office. Keep the dream.

One free call. We’ll show you exactly what we’d automate, what it saves, and what your flat monthly fee would be. No pressure, no hourly meter.
