Common questions
A few things you may be wondering.
Do you work with QuickBooks Online and Desktop?
Yes. ExpressBooks has experience with both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop. We review your version, access method, and company file before confirming the service scope.
Can bookkeeping, payroll, and taxes be combined?
Yes. We can prepare a coordinated package around your business. Your proposal identifies which bookkeeping, payroll processing, payroll filings, tax returns, and other forms are included.
What if my books are several months behind?
We can assess your records and quote catch-up or cleanup work separately. Once the agreed cleanup is complete, you can move into a monthly bookkeeping plan.
Do you help businesses outside Columbus?
We offer virtual services. Availability and scope depend on your software, entity type, states involved, and filing needs. Contact us to discuss your situation.
Are tax preparation and software included in every plan?
No. Tax preparation, payroll processing, forms filing, software subscriptions, and prior-period cleanup are separately quoted unless your written agreement expressly includes them.
