In brief

Bookkeeping at WestgateFS, in plain terms.

What is bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping is the disciplined recording, categorizing, and reconciliation of every financial transaction your business makes — bank, credit card, payroll, sales, expenses — so a reconciled monthly close ties out to source and your CPA can work from clean numbers.
What does WestgateFS bookkeeping include?
Bookkeeping cleanup, catch-up bookkeeping, monthly bookkeeping, account reconciliations, outsourced bookkeeping, and QuickBooks ProAdvisor management of QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop — for small businesses, nonprofits, and churches across Texas.
Who is it for?
Texas small businesses, growing operators, nonprofits, and churches that need senior bookkeeping judgment rather than rotating staff or software-only automation. Typical clients run $250K–$15M in annual revenue.
How is it different?
The same senior operators stay on your file every month. Every account reconciled back to source. Quality controls before reports leave. Plain-English answers when you ask what the numbers mean. We are not a CPA firm — we work alongside yours and deliver CPA-ready books.

Bookkeeping problems we solve

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

These are the patterns Texas owners describe most often when they reach out. Each one is solvable — usually faster than expected.

Bookkeeping cleanup

“My books are a mess.”

Bank feeds out of order, hundreds of uncategorized transactions, reports that don’t tie out. We diagnose, rebuild from source, and document every fix.

Bookkeeping cleanup

Catch-up bookkeeping

“I’m months — or years — behind.”

Tax deadline coming. Loan application pending. Books behind. We catch you up cleanly, in priority order, with deadlines respected.

Catch-up bookkeeping

Reconciliations

“Balances don’t reconcile.”

Unreconciled accounts. Negative undeposited funds. Duplicate transactions. We reconcile to source and fix the root cause — not the symptom.

Reconciliations

Rotating bookkeepers

“Every month it’s a new person.”

No context. Different judgment every close. Same questions every quarter. We staff the same senior operators on your file — for years.

Switch without disruption

CPA-ready books

“My CPA needs clean books.”

Tax-season prep, loan financials, audit support. We deliver CPA-ready books your CPA can work from immediately — never the filing ourselves.

CPA-ready prep

No real monthly close

“Reports are guesses.”

If your books aren’t closed every month, every report is a guess. We run a reconciled monthly close — reports owners and boards actually trust.

QuickBooks bookkeeping

Your bookkeeping — run inside QuickBooks, the way it should be.

WestgateFS is a credentialed QuickBooks ProAdvisor practice. We run your bookkeeping inside QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop — not on top of it, not around it, not in a separate platform we’ll quietly migrate you to.

Your file stays clean, your reconciled monthly close ties out, your CPA can pull anything they need, and your data stays in the ecosystem you already own.

  • QuickBooks Online management Monthly bookkeeping, reconciliations, reporting, and clean app integrations inside QuickBooks Online.
  • QuickBooks Desktop management Bookkeeping on QuickBooks Desktop with periodic file-health checks and migration support when the time is right.
  • QuickBooks file cleanup Diagnostic-first cleanup of inflated balances, miscategorized transactions, and broken reports.
  • QuickBooks ProAdvisor judgment Senior operators credentialed in the software — the people who actually use QuickBooks every day.

How bookkeeping runs at WestgateFS

A real monthly workflow — documented, repeatable, owner-friendly.

Every client. Every month. The same disciplined sequence behind every reconciled monthly close.

  1. Source capture

    Bank, credit card, payroll, merchant, and loan statements pulled or uploaded to the secure portal. Nothing reconciled without source.

  2. Categorization

    Transactions classified inside QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop against a chart of accounts built for your operating shape — not a generic template.

  3. Reconciliation

    Every account reconciled back to source. Variances investigated, not papered over. Discrepancies flagged for owner review.

  4. Senior review

    Senior operator review before anything leaves our desk. Quality controls on the reconciled monthly close, the P&L, and the balance sheet.

  5. Reporting

    Owner-readable P&L, balance sheet, and any custom views your operations need. Delivered on a fixed monthly cadence.

Who this is for

Bookkeeping built for the way real Texas organizations operate.

We work best with operators who want senior judgment on their books — not software shortcuts and not the cheapest possible option.

Small businesses

$250K–$15M revenue. Restaurants, contractors, professional services, medical practices, e-commerce, trucking, real estate — operators who need a reconciled monthly close and senior bookkeeping judgment.

Nonprofits

Small Texas nonprofits with fund-style tracking needs — restricted and unrestricted balances, designated giving, board-ready reporting. Form 990 prep stays with your CPA.

Churches & ministries

Faith-based organizations where stewardship and accuracy carry equal weight. Designated funds tracked properly. Board reports owners can defend in any meeting.

Bookkeeping FAQ

Direct answers to the bookkeeping questions Texas owners ask.

What is bookkeeping and what does WestgateFS handle?

Bookkeeping is the systematic recording, categorizing, and reconciliation of every financial transaction your business makes. WestgateFS handles bookkeeping cleanup, catch-up bookkeeping, monthly bookkeeping, reconciliations, outsourced bookkeeping, and QuickBooks ProAdvisor management of QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop — for small businesses, nonprofits, and churches across Texas. We are not a CPA firm and deliver CPA-ready books to your CPA.

What’s the difference between bookkeeping cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping cleanup fixes books that exist but are wrong — miscategorized transactions, unreconciled accounts, broken reports. Catch-up bookkeeping addresses books that don’t yet exist for a period — months or years of unrecorded activity. Many engagements involve both: catch-up the missing periods, then clean up what was previously recorded.

How is monthly bookkeeping priced?

Monthly bookkeeping is priced based on transaction volume, the number of bank and credit card accounts, the complexity of your industry, and the reporting cadence you need. Most Texas small businesses fall into honest, predictable monthly ranges. We never quote until we’ve reviewed a recent month of activity. See our pricing approach.

How long does bookkeeping cleanup take?

Most bookkeeping cleanups take between four and ten weeks, depending on how many months are out of order, how many accounts need reconciliation, and how clean the source documents are. We give a written timeline after a free diagnostic review of your QuickBooks file. More on bookkeeping cleanup.

Do you only work in QuickBooks?

Primarily, yes. We are a QuickBooks ProAdvisor practice and we run our bookkeeping inside QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop — the platforms most Texas small businesses already use. If you’re on a different system, we’ll discuss whether migration to QuickBooks makes sense before any engagement begins. Explore QuickBooks management.

Is outsourced bookkeeping right for my small business?

Outsourced bookkeeping makes sense when you don’t need a full-time in-house bookkeeper but still need a reconciled monthly close, reconciled accounts, and CPA-ready reports. Most of our outsourced bookkeeping clients are Texas small businesses in the $250K–$15M range. More on outsourced bookkeeping.

Will you coordinate with my CPA?

Yes — coordinating with your CPA is part of the work. We deliver clean monthly bookkeeping, year-end CPA-ready books, and any specific schedules your CPA requests. We do not prepare tax returns, audits, or other CPA-regulated work ourselves; we make your CPA’s job faster.

Is my financial data secure?

Yes. We use encrypted file sharing, least-privilege access controls, multi-factor authentication on every system, and secure QuickBooks accountant access — never shared admin logins. Read our data security practices.
