Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the questions we're asked most often by small and growing businesses — from software and pricing to how we collaborate with your existing team. Our goal is to give you clear answers so you can feel confident about the next steps and understand exactly how Whetstone & Co. fits into your business.

01

What is the benefit of financial support?

Bookkeeping is essential for managing your finances effectively. It helps track income and expenses, ensuring that you always have a clear picture of your financial health. With accurate records, you can make informed business decisions, prepare for taxes easily, and identify potential areas for cost savings. Bookkeeping also provides the necessary documentation for loans and audits, giving you peace of mind and financial stability.

02

Do you prepare taxes?

No, we do not prepare annual business income tax returns, and we do not provide tax strategy. However, we do manage the ongoing administrative reporting for local sales & use tax compliance and weekly payroll processing workflows. Our primary role is to work directly with your chosen CPA or Enrolled Agent to ensure they receive clean, accurate financials and everything they need for a seamless year‑end.

03

Is my business too small or too large?

No business is too small for bookkeeping support. In fact, small businesses benefit greatly from keeping accurate financial records — it keeps you organized, supports cash‑flow management, and gives you the insight you need to make informed decisions as you grow.

We work with businesses at every stage, from brand‑new startups to established companies with expanding operations. Our involvement scales to fit your needs, whether you’re just getting started or looking to strengthen existing systems.

04

I'm behind, do I need to do anything to prepare?

No need to worry! If your books are a mess, I'm here to help. You don't need to do anything before reaching out. I'll work with you to organize and clean up your financial records, ensuring everything is accurate and up to date. My goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible, so you can focus on running your business.

05

Do I need Bookkeeping software?

Not necessarily. While professional bookkeeping software like Quickbooks Online can be extremely helpful, some small businesses don’t need it right away.

I’m comfortable working in whatever system you already use — Epicor, Xero, or QuickBooks Online — and can adapt to your existing setup so you don’t have to switch platforms. These tools are powerful for keeping your books organized, accurate, and easy to maintain.

If you don’t currently use Xero or QuickBooks Online, I can help you get set up and make sure the software supports your workflows. It also allows for seamless collaboration and streamlines your processes as your business grows.

06

What if I already have a bookkeeper?

Having an in-house bookkeeper is great! We can work alongside your existing team to provide additional support. Many businesses bring us in to handle more complex areas like asset tracking, profitability analysis, inventory oversight or operational management review throughout the year.
 

You don't necessarily need to replace the people already supporting your business — we can fill the gaps where you need us. 

07

How often do I need financial support?

Support frequency depends on your business needs. Some clients work with us monthly to keep their books current and their operations running smoothly. Others prefer quarterly or project‑based support for cleanup, catch‑up, or more complex areas like cash flow, profitability, inventory, or operational management oversight.

08

How much does your financial support cost?

Pricing is based on the scope of work rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all package. 

For most small businesses with basic bookkeeping needs, monthly packages start at $400, with lighter support available at lower rates.

 

More advanced or specialized support is priced based on scope. After a discovery call, we’ll outline the level of involvement that fits your business and provide a clear estimate so you know exactly what to expect.
