or call OneBooks at 888-665-5085OneBooks provides monthly bookkeeping to businesses in all 22 Essex County municipalities: Belleville, Bloomfield, Caldwell, Cedar Grove, East Orange, Essex Fells, Fairfield, Glen Ridge, Irvington, Livingston, Maplewood, Millburn (including Short Hills), Montclair, Newark, North Caldwell, Nutley, Orange, Roseland, South Orange, Verona, West Caldwell and West Orange.
Because our workflow is virtual, you do not need to bring paperwork to an office. OneBooks works with your QuickBooks Online file and electronic financial records to maintain your books throughout the year.
Outside Essex County? OneBooks also provides monthly bookkeeping throughout New Jersey.
Monthly bookkeeping is the ongoing process of recording, reviewing and reconciling financial activity so your books stay current and useful throughout the year.
The exact monthly scope depends on your business, transaction volume and accounting requirements.
OneBooks does not prepare or file tax returns. Payroll-tax and sales-tax returns are filed by your business, your payroll provider or your CPA, using books OneBooks keeps reconciled.
The objective is straightforward: accurate, reconciled books every month so you, your business advisers and your CPA can rely on the numbers.
OneBooks focuses on QuickBooks Online. A connected bank feed is useful, but downloading transactions into QuickBooks is not the same thing as completing the bookkeeping.
Activity is reconciled against financial institution statements. Differences are investigated rather than simply carried into the next month.
Loan payments are reviewed so principal, interest and other charges can be reflected appropriately in the books.
When included in scope, payroll activity can be recorded through monthly journal entries so wages, payroll taxes and related balances are properly reflected. OneBooks records payroll processed by your payroll provider; it does not run payroll.
Balance-sheet accounts are reviewed because errors in loans, credit cards, payroll liabilities, owner accounts and other balances can eventually distort the Profit & Loss statement.
Completed monthly bookkeeping provides updated financial reports, including the Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet, so you have a clearer view of how the business is performing.
Employers with employees performing services in Newark generally owe the City of Newark a payroll tax equal to 1% of those wages, reported quarterly. Employers whose workforce meets Newark’s resident-employment requirements may qualify for a reduced rate. When payroll is included in scope, OneBooks records the Newark payroll-tax liability and payments so your balance sheet reflects what is owed.
Businesses certified in Newark’s Urban Enterprise Zone may charge a reduced 3.3125% sales-tax rate on qualifying sales instead of New Jersey’s standard 6.625% rate. When sales tax is included in scope, OneBooks keeps the sales-tax liability in QuickBooks consistent with the rates your business actually charges.
OneBooks monthly bookkeeping starts at $300 per month, and most small businesses pay between $300 and $700 per month.
Typical range for most small businesses
If your books are already behind or contain material errors, OneBooks may recommend a separate catch-up or QuickBooks cleanup project before monthly bookkeeping begins.
Pricing is customized after a discovery call so the monthly service matches the work your business actually requires.
Pricing depends on:
Attorneys, consultants, agencies and other professional firms may need accurate expense categorization, payroll entries, account reconciliation and dependable month-end reporting.
Contractors may have vehicles, equipment, loans, payroll, multiple accounts and job-related costs that need consistent monthly treatment.
Medical, therapy and other healthcare businesses may have payroll, merchant deposits, equipment purchases and recurring expenses requiring organized monthly accounting.
Retailers and other local businesses may have merchant processors, sales-tax activity, payroll and significant transaction volume flowing through QuickBooks.
Online businesses can have payment processors, merchant fees, sales-tax considerations and inventory-related activity that complicate monthly bookkeeping.
Property owners and real-estate-related businesses may have multiple entities, properties, loans and financial accounts that benefit from consistent monthly bookkeeping.
OneBooks LLC is based at 681 Lawlins Rd Ste 10-4, Wyckoff, NJ 07481 and serves businesses throughout Essex County and New Jersey.
Client bookkeeping work is performed by OneBooks’ U.S.-based staff.
OneBooks focuses its bookkeeping workflow on QuickBooks Online. Every OneBooks bookkeeper is required to earn QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor certification, and completed monthly work is reviewed by a Certified ProAdvisor before reports are delivered.
You can keep your existing CPA or tax preparer. OneBooks can maintain the monthly books and coordinate with your tax professional when appropriate.
Bookkeeping problems often begin with relatively small errors. A transaction is categorized incorrectly. A loan payment is recorded entirely as an expense. A duplicate transaction appears. A credit card stops reconciling. Payroll activity is recorded incorrectly. A deposit is entered twice or posted to the wrong account.
One month becomes two. Two months become six. Eventually, the business owner no longer trusts the financial statements and the bookkeeping becomes a cleanup project.
Consistent monthly bookkeeping is designed to prevent those problems from accumulating.
When bookkeeping is months behind, those questions become harder to answer with confidence. Monthly bookkeeping keeps the accounting record current enough to be useful throughout the year — not just when a tax return is due.
You do not need perfectly current books before working with OneBooks.
If your Essex County business is several months or years behind, OneBooks can first complete the necessary Catch-Up Bookkeeping.
If the bookkeeping has been done but the QuickBooks file contains material errors, the business may need QuickBooks cleanup instead.
Once the historical books are accurate and current, the business can transition into ongoing monthly bookkeeping.
OneBooks provides dedicated Catch-Up Bookkeeping for Essex County businesses as well as QuickBooks Cleanup Services throughout New Jersey.
| Service | Problem It Solves | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Bookkeeping | Books are current and need ongoing maintenance. | Transactions are reviewed, accounts reconciled and reports prepared each month. |
| Catch-Up Bookkeeping | Months or years of bookkeeping were not completed. | Missing historical activity is reconstructed and reconciled. |
| QuickBooks Cleanup | Bookkeeping exists but contains errors or unreliable balances. | Duplicates, miscoding, reconciliation problems and balance-sheet errors are corrected. |
OneBooks evaluates your current bookkeeping, financial accounts and reports.
If the books are behind or materially inaccurate, the necessary catch-up or cleanup work is identified before monthly service begins.
The accounts to reconcile, monthly deliverables and information needed from your business are defined.
Transactions are reviewed and categorized, included accounts are reconciled, and accounting issues are addressed.
You receive completed monthly financial statements by the 15th of the following month, provided all required statements and information have been received, so you and your tax professional can work from organized books.
Often, a CPA and monthly bookkeeper perform different functions. Your CPA may prepare tax returns, provide tax planning and offer specialized accounting advice. Your bookkeeper maintains the underlying financial records that your CPA relies upon.
When bookkeeping is maintained throughout the year, your CPA can receive organized financial records instead of discovering months of bookkeeping problems when tax preparation begins. OneBooks is comfortable coordinating with your existing CPA or tax preparer.
OneBooks monthly bookkeeping starts at $300 per month, and most small businesses pay between $300 and $700 per month. Pricing depends on transaction volume, number of financial accounts, payroll, business structure and bookkeeping complexity.
