Tell me where your books stand. I read every request myself and reply personally to set a time.
Behind on the books? You’re in good company.
Most people find me when something has started to slip. None of these mean you did anything wrong. They mean you’ve been busy running the business.
The shoebox, or the camera roll
Receipts in the truck, the glovebox and four hundred photos on your phone. You know it all matters. You just haven’t had a free Saturday since spring.
The first-year 1099 surprise
You went out on your own, nobody mentioned quarterly estimated taxes, and now April has a number attached that you weren’t expecting.
Months behind and getting heavier
Every month you don’t open QuickBooks, the next one feels worse. Completely normal. It’s exactly what cleanup and catch-up are for.
The lender wants financials by Friday
A loan, a lease or a bonding company asks for current statements, and all you have is a bank login. Clean books turn that into an attachment, not a project.
Bookkeeping, payroll and tax prep, in one place
One certified bookkeeper who knows your business, instead of a different person every month. Pick what you need now and add more later, or see all bookkeeping services.

Cleanup and catch-up
Months or years behind? I rebuild the books from your bank and card statements, reconcile everything and bring you current, with no lecture about how it happened. Cleanup and catch-up

Your books, handled by someone who gets your business
I’m Holly Kuehn, born and raised right here in Aurora. I’ve studied accounting since 1994 and spent my career inside construction-based businesses, in flooring, plumbing, painting and cabinets. That’s where I learned how small businesses really run their books, and how easily they fall behind when the work gets busy.
Today I’m a certified bookkeeper, fully insured and certified in QuickBooks, Xero and Digits. I’m completing my four-year degree at Purdue, where I’m on the Chancellor’s List, and I’m a member of COCPA, SHE Leads and the NSLS honor society. Every Perfectbooks client is handled personally, by me. Read more about Holly.
Based in Aurora, working across the Denver metro and beyond

Bookkeeping in Aurora, answered
What does Perfectbooks charge?
Monthly bookkeeping is $0.75 per transaction for Essentials or $1.00 for Full-Service. Cleanup is $50 an hour, and tax returns start at $50. You get an exact price on the free consultation before any work begins. The full list, with examples, is on the pricing page.
What’s included in monthly bookkeeping?
Posting every transaction, reconciling your bank and credit card accounts, journal entries, keeping your chart of accounts in order, and three monthly financial reports. In short, books you can trust and hand to a lender or your CPA at any time.
How far behind can my books be?
As far as they are. Two months behind or two years, cleanup and catch-up rebuilds the books from your statements. You’ll know the cost before I start. See how cleanup and catch-up works.
Do you have to be in Aurora to work with me?
No. I’m based in Aurora and work virtually, so I can work with clients across the Denver metro and in other states the same way. All you need is your books in QuickBooks, Xero or Digits, or the willingness to move them there.
Which bookkeeping software do you use?
Whichever one you already have. I’m certified in QuickBooks, Xero and Digits. If you’re on spreadsheets or nothing yet, we’ll choose the right one together.
Will you work with my CPA?
Yes. Plenty of business owners keep their CPA for tax planning and business returns while I keep the books current. Your CPA gets clean, reconciled numbers instead of a shoebox, and tax time gets easier for everyone.
Messy books? I’ve seen worse, and fixed it.
Tell me where things stand. I’ll reply personally to set up a time, and you’ll come away knowing exactly what your books need and what it will cost.
Free one-hour consultation. You’ll have an exact price before any work starts.
