Right Before Fast
A file that balances quickly and wrongly is worse than no file. Nothing goes out until the accounts reconcile against the statements.

Meet Carl Thomas, The Person Actually Doing Your Books
Owner of Accounting & Bookkeeping By Carl in Nanuet, NY. Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor with more than fifteen years in small business books.
Fifteen Years Of Other People's Books
"I've spent 15 plus years helping small business owners with accounting and bookkeeping services."
That is how Carl Thomas describes the work, and it is accurate. Fifteen years of monthly closes, payroll runs, reconciliations and files that arrived in worse shape than the owner realised. He opened Accounting & Bookkeeping By Carl in 2022 to do that work on his own terms, for the kind of clients he does his best work with.
Carl holds a Bachelor of Business Administration with a minor in Forensic Accounting from SUNY Cobleskill, class of 2011, and he is a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor. The forensic side is not decoration. It is the reason a file that has been coded wrong for two years is a problem he finds interesting rather than a problem he quotes his way out of.

Why The Practice Started In 2022
After more than a decade inside other people's accounting departments and practices, Carl kept running into the same two things. Owners were getting their numbers far too late to use them, and nobody was calling them in between.
The practice was built to fix both. It runs virtually, which keeps the overhead low and means a business anywhere in the country can be served properly. And it runs on regular contact, because a bookkeeper who only surfaces at year end is a historian, not much use to someone trying to run something.
The clients who get the most out of it tend to be the same sort of people: resilient, cooperative owners who see what good accounting is worth and would rather hand the workload to someone who does it for a living.
Tri-State And Beyond
Carl has been working on small business books since 2011. Along the way that has meant a wide range of trades and storefronts, not only the three industries the practice specialises in today.
- Restaurant owners
- Landscapers
- Contractors
- Electricians
- Hairstylists
- Barbers
- Automotive repair shops
- Truck drivers
- Ambulette services
- Home improvement businesses
The practice has served businesses across the Tri-State area and is set up to work with businesses anywhere in the United States.
Three Things That Do Not Change
You Hear From Us First
If something in the numbers needs your attention, you find out that week. Several touchpoints a month, not one at year end.
Plain Language
The reports are explained until they make sense to you. A monthly package you do not understand is a filing cabinet, not information.
