What We Do

Salt & Sand provides fully virtual bookkeeping services for small and mid-size businesses in QuickBooks Online and Xero. Everything below is available nationwide — no office visits required.

  • For most clients, this is the foundation. Every month, we make sure your books are accurate, up to date, and organized — so you always know where your business stands financially, and your accountant or CPA isn't starting from scratch at tax time.

    What's included:

    Transaction Matching & Categorization Every transaction — bills, receipts, invoices, payments, deposits — is matched to your bank feed and properly categorized. Nothing slips through the cracks.

    Month-End & Year-End Financial Reporting You'll receive a clean Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss, Cash Flow statement, and any additional reports your business needs, including 1099 reports and aging invoices.

    Sales Tax Setup We'll configure sales tax in QBO or Xero and establish recurring payments to each required agency, so you're never caught off guard.

    QBO & Xero Subscription Discounts As an Intuit ProAdvisor and Xero Partner, we can pass along preferred pricing on your software subscription — a straightforward way to reduce overhead.

    Coordination With Your Tax Professional We don't prepare or file income or payroll taxes, but we work directly with your CPA or tax preparer when they have questions or need additional reporting. Think of us as the bridge between your day-to-day finances and your annual tax filing.

  • Need more than the basics? These services can be added to any monthly engagement. Most mid-size clients find that A/R, A/P, and payroll are where they gain back the most time.

    Accounts Receivable (A/R) We handle the full invoicing cycle — creating and sending invoices, recording all related activity in QBO or Xero, reconciling POS system transactions, and setting up automated reminders for late payments. Your cash flow stays visible and your follow-up is handled.

    Accounts Payable (A/P) We enter bills, process payments, record all transactions, and manage vendor and contractor W-9s. You approve payments — we handle the rest.

    Payroll We can be involved in payroll as much or as little as you need. That might mean entering hours and employee information into QBO, Xero, or Gusto; setting up and configuring payroll from scratch; running payroll each period; or coordinating with a third-party payroll processor to make sure everything is accurate and on time.

  • Not every engagement is month-to-month. These services are designed for businesses at a transition point — whether you're just getting started with accounting software, switching platforms, or dealing with books that need serious attention.

    QBO & Xero Setup / Migration Whether you're a new business setting up QBO or Xero for the first time, switching from another accounting platform, or migrating from a desktop version of QuickBooks to QBO, we handle the full configuration so you start with a clean, properly structured chart of accounts.

    Catch-Up Services If your books are generally organized but you've fallen behind — a few months or more of unrecorded transactions — we'll get you current. This is a focused, time-limited engagement with a clear finish line.

    Cleanup Services If you're up to date in QBO or Xero but your books are incomplete, inconsistent, or just don't make sense anymore, cleanup is where we start. We go back through your records, identify and correct the problems, and leave you with books you can actually rely on. This is one of our most requested services — and often the first step for new clients before moving into a monthly engagement.

Not sure which service fits?

That's what the free consultation is for. We'll take a look at where your books stand, talk through what you actually need, and give you a straight answer — no pressure, no obligation.
