The Winning Hand · Signature

Every mess has an Ace.

This is the job, dealt face-up. Five chaos cards small-business owners know by heart — and the five Aces in Stephanie’s hand. Pick an Ace, play it on the mess it fixes, and turn the whole row In Order.

The shoebox months

Saturday morning shouldn’t look like this.

Your day off, spent buried behind a laptop — guessing at sales tax, re-typing invoices, trying to remember if that bill got paid. Meanwhile the real questions go unanswered: Did we actually make money last month? Can we afford the hire?

Chaotic books don’t just cost weekends. They cost deductions nobody captured, filings nobody scheduled, and decisions made in the dark. Order isn’t a luxury — it’s the difference between running your business and being run by it.

Hand Over the Mess
  • The P&L you’ve never seen.Months pass without a single clear look at profit — so pricing, hiring, and spending are all guesses.
  • Sales tax, somewhere.Multiple agencies, multiple schedules, nexus you’ve never mapped — and penalties that don’t care that you were busy.
  • Payday panic.Every other Friday, the same scramble — hours, taxes, and one more hope that the numbers are right.
  • The tax-season handoff.A year of paper dumped on your CPA in March costs you money, deductions, and goodwill — every single year.
Services

Five Aces. Every one played for you.

Everything a small business needs to stay in order — and nothing it doesn’t. No tax preparation (your CPA keeps that chair), no bloated packages: just the books, handled.

Flagship

Monthly Bookkeeping

The rhythm everything else hangs on. Every account reconciled, every expense monitored, your books kept aligned to GAAP — and a Profit & Loss statement in your inbox every month, with Cash Flow and AR Aging reports whenever you want them.

  • All accounts reconciled, monthly
  • Profit & Loss in your inbox, monthly
  • Real talk about profitability — a project, or the whole business

Accounts Payable & Receivable

Bills managed and paid on time; invoices sent out with reminder emails that keep cash coming in. No more late fees, no more double payments, no more awkward “did they ever pay us?”

  • Bills tracked and paid on schedule
  • Invoices + follow-up reminders

Sales Tax

The tax you owe, calculated in every agency where you do business. Nexus managed, reports prepared, and filings made on the schedule you’re on — monthly, quarterly, or annual — without the guesswork.

  • Calculation for each taxing agency
  • Reports & filing on your schedule

Payroll

For small businesses with under 15 employees: payroll run bimonthly or monthly, with payroll taxes handled properly. Payday stops being an event and starts being a non-event.

  • Teams under 15 employees
  • Bimonthly or monthly runs

Past Books Touch Up

Behind? We go back as far as it takes to bring your books current — ready for audits, ready for tax season, and positioned so you can take every deduction available to you. The rescue Ace, played without judgment.

  • Catch-up, back as far as needed
  • Tax-season & audit readiness
The process · her name for it

Meet the bookkeeper

Hi, I’m Stephanie.

I’m the owner of Absolute Ace Bookkeeping — and the bookkeeper, the payroll runner, and the person who answers when you call. I’m a full-time mother of four, a full-time homemaker, and a full-time bookkeeper, which is a long way of saying: I understand exactly how much time you don’t have.

So I built the practice I’d want to hire. You manage your growth, and I’ll manage your books — organization, the best software, and continuous education, working together to maintain order in your business. When your books are in order, the cards really are stacked in your favor.

Book a Consultation with Stephanie
What to expect

Thirty minutes. A straight read on your books.

The consultation is a working conversation, not a sales pitch — here’s exactly how starting looks.

1

Book the consultation

Pick a time that suits you and bring your books as they are — current, behind, or in a bag. The messier the starting point, the more useful the conversation.

Questions, answered straight

Before you ask

Do you prepare or file taxes?

No — and that’s deliberate. I’m a bookkeeper, not a CPA or a tax preparer. What I do is keep your books reconciled and current all year, so when tax season lands, your CPA gets clean records and you can take every deduction you’re entitled to. No shoebox handoff, no scramble.

Who will actually do my books?

I will — Stephanie Smith, owner and bookkeeper. Absolute Ace is a one-bookkeeper practice by design: the person you talk to is the person who reconciles your accounts, runs your payroll, and files your sales tax. Your numbers are never handed down a chain.

Which software do you work in?

QuickBooks Online and Xero — I’m certified in both (QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor and Xero Advisor Certified) — plus FINSYNC. If your books already live in one of them, we pick up right there; if they live in a shoebox, we’ll get them into the right one.

How far behind is too behind?

There isn’t a “too behind.” Past Books Touch Up goes back as far as it needs to go — a quarter, a year, more — and brings everything current: reconciled, audit-ready, and ready for tax season. The consultation starts with wherever your books are today, no judgment attached.

Can you run our payroll?

Yes, for businesses with under 15 employees. I run payroll bimonthly or monthly, and the payroll taxes are handled properly along with it — no payday panic, no notices to decode.

What do I get every month?

Every account reconciled, every expense accounted for, and a Profit & Loss statement in your inbox — plus other reports when you want them, like a Cash Flow report or an Accounts Receivable Aging Summary. And if you want to talk through what the numbers say about a project or the business, that conversation is part of the service.

How does pricing work?

Every set of books is different, so I don’t publish one-size prices. Book a consultation, tell me where your books stand, and you’ll get a quote for exactly what you need — no packages padded with things you don’t.
