Your Books, Current Every Month. Not Once A Year.
Carl Thomas keeps the books, runs the payroll and sends you the numbers while they still matter, so you always know what the business is doing.

Bookkeeping And Payroll For Nanuet, NY And Rockland County Businesses
Most owners do not call a bookkeeper because they love accounting. They call because the year got away from them, or the person who used to handle it is gone, and now something has to be in order by a certain date.
Accounting & Bookkeeping By Carl is a QuickBooks-certified bookkeeping and payroll practice based in Nanuet, New York. The work runs through QuickBooks Online, which means a business in Congers gets the same service as a business in Hartford or Houston. Whether you want help with one piece of the bookkeeping or you want the whole thing off your desk, that is the range we work in.
More about Carl
Who We Work Best With
Smaller operations where the owner is still close to the money and wants to stay that way.
Single-Member LLCs
One owner, one set of books, and a real need to keep business and personal spending apart. We keep that line clean and the reports ready whenever you need to show them.
Multi-Member LLCs And Partnerships
When more than one person has a stake, the numbers have to be something everybody trusts. Current books and a monthly report give partners the same picture at the same time.
Why Owners Call In The First Place
Three situations account for nearly every first conversation.
Your Accountant Retired
The person who knew your file closed up shop, and nobody has touched the books since. We pick up the file, find out where it actually stands, and get it current again.
You Just Started The Business
Everything is new at once. Getting the chart of accounts, the bank feeds and the payroll set up correctly in the first ninety days saves you a cleanup later.
The Financials Have To Be In Order
A lender, a landlord, a partner or your own tax preparer needs real statements, and they need them soon. We get the books to the point where you can hand them over without apologising.
What We Handle Every Month
Ten services, grouped the way the work actually happens.
Bookkeeping
- Monthly bookkeeping
- Quarterly bookkeeping
- Annual bookkeeping
- Catch-up and cleanup bookkeeping

You Will Hear From Carl More Than Once A Year
A lot of bookkeeping relationships run on silence until something goes wrong. This one does not.
Carl reaches out several times a month about payroll, about sales and tax, and about what the numbers are telling you regarding the direction of the business. Nothing sits in an inbox for a quarter. If something looks off in the file, you hear about it that week, while there is still time to do something about it.
The result is the thing clients mention most: timely bookkeeping and accounting reports that are available all year round, whether the reason is an audit, a personal or business application, or handing a clean set of books to your tax preparer.
Book a 20-minute callIndustries We Have Spent Years In
Every industry has one thing that wrecks the books if nobody is watching it. These are the three we know best.
Ambulette Services
Long payer cycles and money that arrives weeks, sometimes months, after the trip. We keep the books in a shape where you can see what has actually been collected, not just what was billed.
Restaurants And Food Service
Food cost, tips and a weekly payroll that never waits. Restaurant books have to be kept every week, not caught up in the slow season.
Home Improvement Contractors
Materials, subs and change orders on several jobs at once. Coded properly in QuickBooks, you can finally tell which jobs made money and which ones only looked like they did.
What Changes Once Someone Else Has The Books
Not a process diagram. Just what the month starts to look like.
Your Evenings Back
Nobody reconciles a bank feed at 11pm because it is enjoyable. That work leaves your calendar.
Numbers You Can Send
A profit and loss statement and a balance sheet you can forward to a lender the same day they ask.
Nothing To Unwind Later
Transactions coded correctly the first time, so year end is a review rather than a rescue.
A Person, Not A Portal
One certified bookkeeper who knows your file and answers when you call.

Twenty minutes on the phone is usually enough to tell you exactly what shape your books are in and what it would take to get them current.
