Why business owners stick with Fitzgerald
We're a small firm on purpose — small enough that you talk to the person who actually does your books, large enough to handle payroll, reconciliations, and both sides of tax season.
01
Accurate, current books
Every account reconciled on a set schedule, not whenever there's time — so the numbers you see are the numbers that are true today.
02
One bookkeeper, not a queue
You work with the same person month to month. They know your chart of accounts, your vendors, and your busy season without a re-explain.
03
Audit- and filing-ready
Records are kept to a standard that holds up to a lender, an auditor, or the IRS — because that standard is cheaper than fixing it later.

What clients say
“Fitzgerald caught a payroll error our old bookkeeper had been making for months. That alone paid for the year.”

“First tax season in years I wasn't guessing what I owed. The quarterly estimates made cash flow so much easier to plan around.”

“I talk to the same person every month. She knows my business better than I expected any outside firm to.”
