Caught-up books. Clear numbers.
Clean, caught-up books for Sonoma County small businesses and tradespeople, plus straight answers about which jobs actually make you money.
What I do
Most of my clients come to me behind, with a shoebox of receipts and a few bank logins. That's fine. We start where you are.
Catch-up bookkeeping
Months behind? I'll get your books into QuickBooks, reconciled to your bank and card statements, and ready for your tax preparer.
Monthly bookkeeping
Every transaction categorized, every account reconciled, and a simple monthly report you can actually read.
Tax-ready package
Not ready for monthly help? Once a year, I'll organize everything your CPA needs, so tax season stops being a crisis.
Job profitability & cash flow
Which jobs pay, which don't, and what's coming in next month. The kind of numbers bigger companies pay a finance team for.
How it works
No long contracts and no surprise bills.
Free conversation
We talk about where your books stand and what you need. Twenty minutes, no pressure.
A written estimate
After a quick look at your accounts, you get an estimate with a not-to-exceed cap. I won't go past it without asking you first.
Simple habits
I set up QuickBooks, your accounts, and an easy snap-a-photo receipt routine. I handle the rest.
About me
I'm Norm Tickner. I spent 20 years in commercial finance and pricing for wine and spirits companies, most recently leading commercial finance for a national spirits brand. That work was all about reconciling the numbers to the penny and finding where the money really goes.
Now I bring that same discipline to local businesses here in Sonoma County. I'm QuickBooks Online certified, I live in Santa Rosa, and I answer my own phone.
