008 Questions

Answers, up front.

What does Turnkey CFO do?+
Turnkey CFO is a bookkeeping firm based in Austin, Texas. We handle monthly bookkeeping, reconciliations, monthly close with written commentary, payroll, 1099 filing, accounts payable and receivable, and catch-up bookkeeping. Every client also gets a live financial dashboard instead of a static PDF report. We serve small businesses, churches, and nonprofits nationwide.
Do you offer virtual bookkeeping outside of Austin?+
Yes. Turnkey CFO is a virtual bookkeeping service. We are headquartered in Austin, Texas and work with clients across the United States through QuickBooks Online, secure document sharing, and scheduled video calls. Location never limits the service.
What is included in monthly bookkeeping?+
Transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliations, a monthly close finished on a fixed business-day schedule, financial statements, plain-English commentary on what changed and why, and a live dashboard covering cash, revenue, and spending.
How much do bookkeeping services cost?+
Pricing depends on transaction volume, number of accounts, payroll needs, and how current your books are. Our free instant estimate gives you a personalized range in about two minutes, before any sales call.
Do you do church and nonprofit bookkeeping?+
Yes, churches and nonprofits are a core specialty. We handle fund accounting, designated giving, donor and giving reports, clergy payroll including housing allowance, 1099s for guest speakers and contractors, and board-ready monthly financials. See our church bookkeeping page.
My books are months or years behind. Can you fix them?+
Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is one of our most requested services. We rebuild messy or missing books month by month, reconcile every account, and hand you a clean, current set of financials. We have rebuilt as much as three years of books for a single client.
What is the difference between a bookkeeper and a CPA?+
A bookkeeper keeps your financial records accurate and current: categorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, running payroll, and producing monthly statements. A CPA typically focuses on tax filing, tax strategy, and audits. We handle the bookkeeping side and work alongside your CPA. For tax or legal questions, talk to your CPA or attorney.
Do you handle payroll and 1099 filing?+
Yes. We run payroll on your schedule, keep contractor records clean throughout the year, and file 1099s at year end so January is not a scramble.
What accounting software do you use?+
We work primarily in QuickBooks Online. If you are on spreadsheets or another system, we migrate you to a clean QuickBooks Online file as part of onboarding, and you keep full ownership and access to your own books at all times.
How fast can we get started?+
Most clients are fully onboarded within days, not months. It starts with a free 15-minute intro call, then a short assessment of your books, then secure access setup. Many clients see their first live dashboard within the first two weeks.
