Monthly bookkeeping & close
Clean, current books and a real monthly close, so the numbers you make decisions on are the numbers that are actually true.
Clean books, real numbers,
a plan you can act on.
Most small businesses outgrow their bookkeeper long before they can justify a CFO. Angelus sits in that gap: full-cycle bookkeeping, monthly close, tax compliance, and the advisory perspective owners actually need to make decisions.
You should not have to choose between a bookkeeper who only types and a CPA who only files. Most small businesses end up with both, and a gap between them where the actual decisions live.
The bookkeeper records what already happened. The CPA files it months later. Nobody is sitting with you in the middle of the year, looking at cash flow and margin and saying, here is what the numbers are telling you to do next. So you run on instinct, and the surprises show up at tax time.
We give small businesses one team for the whole cycle: accurate books, a real monthly close, tax handled proactively, and an advisory layer that turns the numbers into decisions. You get to run your business on information instead of guesswork.
What we do for small businesses
Bookkeeping, tax, and advisory under one roof, so your numbers actually inform your decisions.
Sales & use tax
Registration, filing, and a clear read on where you have nexus, before a state sends a notice rather than after.
Payroll & 1099 compliance
Payroll oversight and year-end 1099 filing handled correctly, including the worker-classification questions that quietly create risk.
Tax prep & quarterly planning
Your business and personal returns prepared together, with quarterly estimates so the tax bill is a number you already planned for.
KPI reporting & dashboards
The handful of numbers that actually run your business, in a dashboard you will look at, not a report you will file away.
Fractional CFO
Forward-looking financial leadership as you scale: cash-flow planning, pricing, and the decisions a bookkeeper is not there to make.
Common questions
My books are a mess. Can you clean them up?
Yes. A catch-up and clean-up is usually the first thing we do, so the monthly close starts from a foundation you can trust. We will tell you honestly what shape they are in.
Do I need monthly bookkeeping, or just annual taxes?
If you are making decisions during the year, hiring, pricing, spending, you need numbers during the year. Annual-only books mean you find out how the business did long after you could have done anything about it.
When do I have to worry about sales tax?
Once you have nexus in a state, which can come from physical presence or, increasingly, from economic activity alone. We help you figure out where you owe and get registered before it becomes a penalty.
What is a fractional CFO, and do I need one?
It is financial leadership without a full-time hire: someone who looks forward instead of backward, plans cash flow, and helps you make the calls a bookkeeper is not there to make. Most owners need it well before they can justify a salaried CFO.
Can you work with my existing payroll provider?
Yes. We coordinate with the tools you already use, including Gusto, which we recommend to many of the businesses and ministries we serve, so payroll, books, and taxes line up.
