Where the practice started
A charity bookkeeping and reporting service in Naperville, Illinois: 5 staff, one locally managed operation.
- 01
The starting point
The bookkeeping onboarding page worked nine to five. Interest arriving at eight in the evening met a silent office and a bare form.
- 02
What it was costing them
For bookkeeping onboarding, overnight inquiries were long on enthusiasm and short on usable detail. The first hour of each day went on assembling the queue rather than working it.
What we built
The out-of-hours route now records accounting software, business type and last reconciled month, states normal response times and explains the path to a records-readiness call with the bookkeeping team. Automated acknowledgments are labeled as automated.
