QuickBooks is software. Bookkeeping is a skill.

Your office manager may be one of the most capable people in your company—customers, employees, schedules, vendors, problems, sales. That doesn't mean they should have to become your bookkeeper too.

Knowing where to click in QuickBooks isn’t the same as knowing bookkeeping and accounting. A few hours of software training can’t replace the experience required to know whether the books are accurate and the financial statements can be trusted.

Don't turn your best office person into a part-time bookkeeper.Let us focus on the books.

Already worried your QuickBooks may be wrong?

Sometimes the problem is bigger than normal bookkeeping. Maybe the books are months behind. Maybe something simply doesn't look right. Maybe your CPA or bank suddenly needs financial statements you can trust.

52-Point QuickBooks Health Assessment

We review your QuickBooks file and document: what's right, what needs attention, and what should be corrected.

Then you decide what happens next: fix it yourself, give our report to someone else, or ask us for a fixed-price proposal to clean it up. And once the books are right, we can help keep them that way.

More time to run the business. Better information to run it with.

“They lifted a huge burden off my shoulders. I get real-time data that helps me know where my business stands each day, which allows me to be proactive.”
D. Lathem
“Doing the bookkeeping is the last thing I have on my mind when I get done checking on my staff and job locations. Giving up the entire job has saved me hundreds of hours that I use to build my business.”

Built for owner-led small businesses.

10 Minute Bookkeeping works especially well for Birmingham and Central Alabama businesses that:

The secret is consistency.

The system works when information flows every business day. Give us what happened, answer our questions, and we can keep the financial picture current.

Questions owners ask

Does bookkeeping really take only 10 minutes a day?

Your part generally takes about 10 minutes each business day. The actual time depends on your transaction volume, complexity and how efficiently information is sent to us. We do the bookkeeping.

What if our QuickBooks is already a mess?

That's common. If we believe the books need significant cleanup before ongoing bookkeeping makes sense, we'll recommend starting with our 52-Point QuickBooks Health Assessment. We also handle QuickBooks cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping when the books are months behind.

Who will be doing my bookkeeping?

10 Minute Bookkeeping is led by Michael S. Pruet, CPA, and our team includes Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisors. You work with real people who know accounting, not just software.

Do you provide QuickBooks training?

Yes. But sometimes more QuickBooks training isn't the best answer. If your office manager is spending substantial time trying to learn bookkeeping and accounting, outsourcing the bookkeeping may be less expensive and a much better use of their time.

Do you prepare tax returns?

No. We focus on accurate, tax-ready books and work alongside your tax professional.

Do you work with companies outside Alabama?

Yes. We’re based in Birmingham, but because everything runs in QuickBooks Online, we can keep the books for businesses anywhere in the U.S. You send your information electronically, we book it every business day, and you see the results in your Owner Dashboard.

What areas do you serve?

We’re based at 3100 Lorna Road in Birmingham and work with small businesses across Birmingham, Hoover, Vestavia Hills, Homewood, Mountain Brook, Trussville, Pelham, Alabaster and the rest of Central Alabama, as well as clients nationwide.

What could you do with your time back—and numbers you could actually trust?

You don't need another job. And your office manager doesn't need one either.

You run the business.We'll run the books.

A short fit conversation. Quick qualification, then choose a time that works for you. No obligation.
