Books done weekly. Messes cleaned up. A CFO when you're ready.
Bookkeeping, catch-up cleanup and fractional CFO support for small businesses — in QuickBooks or Xero, at a flat monthly price, handled personally by one dedicated expert.
The best parts of big-name bookkeeping. None of the runaround.
I studied what the top online firms do best — then put all of it in one small, personal practice.
Weekly, not month-old
Transactions categorized every week, so your numbers are current when you need to make a call — not six weeks later.
One expert, start to finish
The person who does your books is the person you talk to. Every close passes a 15-point review, so errors get caught here, not by your CPA.
Promises in writing
Published service levels: replies within one business day and books closed by the 15th of every month. Miss it, and that month is on me.
Your books, your file
I work inside your own QuickBooks or Xero account — no proprietary software. If we ever part ways, everything stays with you.
What happened — and what's next
Bookkeeping and CFO guidance under one roof, so your reports come with a plain-English read on what to do next.
Lender- and investor-ready
Cash or accrual books, clean enough to hand a bank, a buyer or an investor without a scramble.
Start where you are. Grow into what you need.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Your books kept current, reconciled and reviewed — so tax season is a non-event.
Cleanup & Catch-Up
Months behind? Messy file from a past bookkeeper? I rebuild it right — no judgment, fixed price.
Fractional CFO
The financial partner a growing business needs — without a full-time executive salary.
How far behind are you? Here's your number.
No hourly meter running. Cleanup is a flat rate per month behind — you'll know the price before I touch a single transaction.

Questions, answered
Don't see yours? Ask me on a free call — no sales pitch.
No. I work inside your own QuickBooks Online or Xero account. You stay the owner, and I'm simply added as your accountant user. If you're on something else, like QuickBooks Desktop, Wave or spreadsheets, I'll move you to QuickBooks Online or Xero and bring your history with you. Your connected apps (Stripe, Shopify, Square, Gusto and others) are reconnected and tested so data flows in cleanly from day one.
That's exactly what cleanup is for, and it's more common than you'd think. I start with a free, read-only review of your file, then send a fixed quote based on how many months need work, from $950 per month behind. I reconcile every account, fix miscategorized and duplicate entries, correct opening balances and bring you fully current. Once you're caught up, you can move straight into monthly bookkeeping so you never fall behind again.
I do. The Agency CFO is a boutique practice: I'm Khushboo, the founder, and I personally handle every client's books, from weekly categorization to the final monthly review. There are no hand-offs and no rotating staff, so the person who knows your numbers is the same person who answers your emails. That's also why I keep my client roster small.
This is where my IT background shows. I never ask for your passwords: you invite me as a user in QuickBooks or Xero, and you can remove my access at any time. I use multi-factor authentication on every account, an encrypted password manager, and read-only bank access wherever possible. Documents are shared through secure, encrypted links, never as plain email attachments.
No, and that's intentional. I focus on keeping your books accurate and tax-ready all year, then work directly with your CPA at tax time. They receive reconciled books and a year-end package in the format they ask for, which usually means faster, smoother filing and fewer surprise questions. If you don't have a CPA, I can introduce you to a CPA partner.
No. Monthly plans are month-to-month and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. There's no onboarding fee, and your books stay in your own QuickBooks or Xero account the entire time, so if you ever leave, you keep everything. Cleanup projects are quoted separately, with a fixed price agreed before any work begins.
I plan my calendar around my clients' close dates and give advance notice of any time off, so nothing lands during your busy weeks. Because your books live in your own QuickBooks or Xero account, not in a system I control, you and your CPA always have full access to your data.
A bookkeeper tells you what happened; a CFO helps you decide what to do next. Common signs you're ready: sales are growing but cash still feels tight, you're planning a hire or a big purchase, a bank wants projections, or you're not sure which services or clients are actually profitable. The CFO Partner plan includes full bookkeeping plus a 13-week cash forecast, budget vs. actual reporting, a KPI dashboard and quarterly planning sessions.

Weekly rhythm

Bookkeeping questions
How much of my time does this take?
Usually 10 to 15 minutes a week. Each week I send one short list of questions about transactions I can't identify, and you reply by email or right inside QuickBooks or Xero. Once a month, your reports arrive with a short plain-English note on what changed. No digging through receipts, no chasing statements.
Cash or accrual?
Either. Cash basis records money when it moves in or out of your bank, which is simple and works for many small businesses. Accrual records income when it's earned and expenses when they're owed, which gives a truer picture of profit. If a lender, investor or your growth calls for accrual, I'll make the switch with you and coordinate it with your CPA.
Can I switch from my current bookkeeper?
Yes, and I make the handoff easy. I start by reviewing your current file to confirm reconciliations are complete and balances are right. If anything's off, you'll get a fixed cleanup quote before I begin. Then I take over from the next open month. Your previous bookkeeper simply removes their access, and your full history stays intact.

How a cleanup works
Diagnostic
I review your file and list exactly what needs fixing.
Fixed quote
One price, in writing, with a target finish date.
Cleanup
I rebuild month by month, with weekly progress updates.
Review & handoff
Final 15-point review, then clean books in your hands.
Cleanup questions
How long does a cleanup take?
Most cleanups take 2–4 weeks. Timing depends on how many months are behind, how many bank and card accounts you have, and how quickly statements come in. You'll get a target finish date with your fixed quote and a short progress update every week, so you always know where things stand.
What if I'm missing statements or receipts?
Very common, and fixable. Most banks and card companies let you download several years of statements online, and I'll walk you through it step by step. For missing receipts, I rebuild transactions from bank and card records and flag only the items that truly need your input, so you're never asked to find every receipt.
Do I have to sign up for monthly bookkeeping after?
No. The cleanup stands on its own, and you'll own clean, tax-ready books either way. Many clients do choose monthly bookkeeping afterward so they never fall behind again, and because I already know your file, the switch is seamless.

Forecast, budget and dashboard set up around your business.
Plan every quarter
Monthly check-ins and a quarterly planning session.
CFO questions
Do I need clean books first?
Yes. Forecasts and dashboards are only as good as the numbers underneath them. The CFO Partner plan includes full ongoing bookkeeping, so your data stays accurate every month. If your books are behind today, I start with a fixed-price cleanup and begin CFO work as soon as you're current.
How is this different from bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping records what happened: every transaction categorized, reconciled and reported. CFO support uses those records to plan ahead: forecasting cash 13 weeks out, comparing results to budget, finding your most and least profitable services, and modeling decisions like a new hire or a loan before you commit.
Can I add CFO support later?
Absolutely. Many clients start with monthly bookkeeping and move up once they have a few clean months of data. Upgrading is simple: we hold a goals session, I build your forecast and dashboard, and your first quarterly planning session follows from there.
Your next big decision deserves real numbers.

One expert. Your books, handled personally.
The Agency CFO is a boutique practice led by Khushboo Patel. No call centers, no rotating account managers — the person who does your books is the person you talk to.
Why I started
I didn't come to bookkeeping from a finance office. I came from IT. For more than 10 years, my job was making systems work: finding where data breaks, fixing it, and building processes people could rely on without thinking twice. After a decade of fixing systems for other people, I wanted to build something of my own: work where I could see, every single month, the difference I make for a real business owner.
When I looked closely at how small businesses handle their money, I recognized the same problems I'd spent my career solving: apps that don't talk to each other, numbers that don't match, and nobody sure which figure is right. Owners weren't short on effort. They were short on clarity — and their options were either do-it-yourself software or big firms where a different person answered every email.
So I built The Agency CFO around what IT taught me: clean systems, careful checks, and clear communication. I'm certified in QuickBooks Online and Xero, and I earned the NACPB Certified Public Bookkeeper credential. I keep my client list small on purpose, so every business works with me directly — not a queue, not a rotating team.
Clean books. Plain English. From someone who knows your business by name.

What I promise every client
These aren't marketing lines. They're the standards I hold myself to every month, for every business I work with.

Every email and every question gets a real answer from me, not an auto-reply or a ticket number. If something needs more digging, I'll tell you when to expect the full answer, and I'll keep to it.
Books closed by the 15th
Your reconciled, reviewed reports land in your inbox by the 15th of every month, with a short note on what changed and what to watch. Every close passes my review checklist before it reaches you.
Your books stay yours
I work inside your own QuickBooks or Xero account, never a system I control. You keep full ownership and access, and if we ever part ways, your complete history stays with you.
Plain English, always
You'll understand your numbers without an accounting degree. I explain what changed, why it matters and what to consider next, and no question is ever too basic to ask.
No surprise invoices
Monthly plans are flat-rate, and cleanups are quoted at a fixed price before any work begins. A quick question is never a billable hour, and if something would cost extra, you'll know first.
Your data, protected
With more than 10 years in IT, I treat your financial data like it's my own. No shared passwords, multi-factor login on every account, read-only bank access where possible, and encrypted file sharing only.
