I'm a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor with additional certification in Intuit's Point of Sale (POS) and Enterprise (mid-market) software and a former "COO".

I provide customized, in-person, and one-on-one training, tutoring, classes, instruction, seminars, private lessons, and online and telephone help at your pace and skill level based on what you know (or don't) at your office, quiet coffee/tea shop, or my place in Greater Seattle.

Why fight traffic to attend a class and go at the slowest person's pace (yawn) (do you really want to ask delicate questions about your business in front of others?) when I will make house calls like an old fashioned doctor and come to you to make you financially well and software literate.

Hourly, session, and unlimited use for one year rates are at the end of this section of my profile and my web site.

Learn how to effectively use QuickBooks(there are 5 (Simple Start, Pro for Windows, Premier [Contractor, Retail, Professional Services, NonProfit, Manufacturing & Wholesale, and Accountant], and Enterprise for Windows, QuickBooks for the Mac, and Online, Point of Sale for retail businesses), or Quicken for (Windows or Mac) to properly set up your financial records so you can fish (or make Tofu if you are a vegan) for yourself, save on accountant's fees, worry less, and sleep better.

There is nothing more fun than watching someone's eyes light up as they gain the self-confidence by making their financial or accounting software work for them instead of the other way around and learn how to produce financial reports that tell them how their business or personal finances are really doing.

And so they don't make the mistakes several of my small business clients made by (1) creating their chart of accounts for a C corporation when they were a LLC which screwed up their tax accounting; (2) setting up their credit card as an expense account instead of as a credit card; (3) setting up their vendors as customers and vice versa; (4) recording all their payments individually instead of matching them up with the actual bank deposit; and not updating their version of the program.

Do you need someone to set up or check your business or start up's chart of accounts, financial records, or books? Have you slowly come to the realization that you don't know how to use your accounting software and it is affecting your bottom line? Has your company grown to the point where it would be nice to have someone come in to review what you are doing or have done and then train, tutor, and instruct you and your staff and let you make more money by doing what you really enjoy doing which is also billable?

Or would you rather sit in the dark?

Well, let's chat for 30 minutes about what I can do for you, what might be your best choice of financial management software - sometimes the answer may surprize you) and to bounce ideas off of.

You've hired an attorney, accountant, insurance broker, business coach, SEO expert, marketing pro, and others to help you start and manage your business. Shouldn't you hire someone to teach you how to effectively use the accounting software that you'll be relying on to discover how well you are (or aren't) doing?

As someone who has been a bookeeper and ran the day to day aspects of a medium sized business, I've been in your shoes.

My company is a Better Business Bureau Accredited Business. I am a member of the QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program, the Intuit Accountant's, Quicken, and TurboTax Inner Circle which advises the company on ways to improve their products (I recently found a bug in QuickBooks Pro 2008 and suggested a fix) and make them more consumer friendly (gasp!).

If you want to know what would be covered in a session, please go to the middle of my What I Do Best section below.

I have three pricing arrangements for you to choose from.

If you only think you need my services on an hourly basis to address a specific issue or just to review your work, I am available at $120 an hour.

The second is $295 for a three consecutive hour session, a savings of $65 off my hourly rate, (I find that most people need that amount of time to adequately learn the program or have their company file checked or for me to do a basic set up) and $90 an hour thereafter so you can count dollars instead of sheep and learn how to fish (or make tofu if you are a vegan) for yourself.

The third is unlimited training for one year for one person in a company for QuickBooks Pro for the PC or Mac (or Premier if you're not using Premier's advanced features) for $1,195. [less]

  In working with Keith, we have found that he can explain how to use QuickBooks to make bookkeeping much easier, faster, and simpler. His extensive business and accounting experience enables him to understand the needs of a variety business types. He is able to recommend unique and novel ways to solve both general business problems as well as the most efficient approaches when configuring and using QuickBooks. Keith is much more than just a QuickBooks expert. His experience and skills go well beyond into many aspects of running a small business, whether they be sales and marketing, organizational issues, or accounting / bookkeeping. I have found him to be very patient and easy to work with even with my limited knowledge and experience with accounting issues. I highly recommend Keith.    [less]

  Keith worked with me to help me understand how to classify the various types of income and taxes that come in through my personal training business Pure Body Fitness. Because I provide a number of different fitness services, some which require me to collect sales tax, and others that don't, and each of them falling under different Washington state tax codes, Keith helped me figure out how to classify everything on Quicken so that I am better prepared for tax season. I was very stressed out after 9 months of categorizing sales tax incorrectly, but Keith met with me over coffee and in 30 minutes I had figured out how to correctly categorize and pay sales tax in Washington. And even though our meeting was initially arranged to talk through this one big issue, Keith gave me some tips about how to more effectively and correctly utilize the Quicken software for all the business income and expenses I deal with.   [less]
