BOOKKEEPING & PAYROLL

---

Unlike transactional bookkeeping services, Brim builds structured financial systems designed to support strategic decision-making, long-term scalability, and seamless integration with higher-level financial leadership.

Our onboarding begins with a discovery consultation, followed by secure account access, chart of accounts review and system configuration, historical cleanup if required, and the establishment of a structured monthly close rhythm.

Timelines vary depending on the condition and complexity of your books, but most clients transition into our monthly reporting cycle within 2–6 weeks.

Yes. Depending on your service tier, you receive structured monthly financial statements and KPI reporting designed to provide clarity and actionable insight.

Pricing is based on the complexity of your business, including transaction volume, number of bank and credit accounts, revenue structure, payroll integration, inventory or project tracking needs, and whether multiple entities are involved.

If transaction volume or reporting complexity materially increases, pricing may be adjusted to reflect the additional oversight required. We communicate changes proactively and transparently before implementation.

When transaction volume or structural complexity moves beyond your selected tier, we provide a custom quote to ensure reporting accuracy and service quality remain uncompromised.

Yes. If your books require historical reconciliation before monthly services begin, we scope and price that work separately to ensure you start from a clean and reliable financial foundation.

Scale-level service includes structured KPI dashboards, balance sheet integrity reviews, and leadership-level reporting designed to support executive decision-making.

Scale bookkeeping focuses on reporting discipline and financial visibility; clients requiring forward-looking forecasting, budgeting, and capital strategy may benefit from our Financial Strategy & Management (CFO) services.

Yes. Our systems are intentionally designed to integrate seamlessly with higher-level financial strategy services as your business grows.

Structured add-ons are available for businesses needing expanded support, including catch-up bookkeeping, payroll coordination, sales tax monitoring, 1099 preparation coordination, real estate reporting modules, and advanced inventory or cost-of-goods tracking.

Yes. Even small teams must follow payroll tax, withholding, and reporting requirements. Using a structured payroll system ensures employees are paid correctly and that payroll taxes are calculated, filed, and recorded properly. As your business grows, having payroll integrated with your bookkeeping also keeps labor costs accurately reflected in your financial reports.

Absolutely. Brim & Co works with most modern payroll platforms including Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, ADP, Paychex and more. Rather than replacing your system, we ensure it is configured correctly and integrated with your accounting records so payroll expenses, taxes, and liabilities flow properly into your financial statements.

Payroll affects several areas of your financial records, including wages, employer taxes, benefits, and payroll liabilities. We ensure payroll entries are recorded accurately in your accounting system each month so financial reports reflect true labor costs and remain clean, compliant, and decision-ready.

Premium tiers include contextual reporting and monthly discussions to help interpret financial data and identify key trends and risk areas.

Our objective is to build durable financial clarity and structured reporting systems that support sustainable growth — not short-term fixes or reactive bookkeeping.
