Monthly bookkeeping with CFO-level insight

Your books.
And what they
actually mean.

Most contractors do not need more reports. They need books they can trust and numbers they can actually use. BooksSteady gives you clean monthly bookkeeping, a plain-English explanation of what changed, and three practical actions to improve cash flow, job margins, or profitability. Built by a CFO with 20 years of finance experience. Delivered on a guaranteed monthly schedule. No jargon. No surprises. Just clarity.

The difference
"Your books, steady every month.
And a CFO who tells you what they mean."

Every month you get clean books β€” every transaction categorized, every account reconciled. But you also get a plain-English summary written by a CFO explaining what the numbers mean, what changed, and what to do about it.

That's what you'd get from a $300/hour fractional CFO. It's included in your monthly plan. And unlike a generic bookkeeper, we're built specifically for contractors and trades businesses β€” we know job margins, labor cost, and how cash moves between big jobs.

Connect your accounts once. We handle everything every month. You get clean books and a CFO explanation of what they mean , delivered on your plan’s guaranteed schedule.

1
Send us your books

Export your P&L and balance sheet from QuickBooks, Xero, or whatever you use and send it to us. No logins required. Not sure what to send? We'll walk you through it.

2
We close your books

Every month we categorize transactions, reconcile accounts, and produce your P&L and balance sheet. AI handles the volume. Our CFO handles the judgment calls.

3
You get the full picture

Clean financials plus a plain-English CFO summary β€” what happened, what changed, and what to do next. In your inbox by your plan’s guaranteed delivery date, every month.


What's included

More than a bookkeeper.
Less than a full-time CFO.

Every BooksSteady plan includes the same core deliverable β€” clean books and a CFO insight summary. The only difference between plans is how much transaction volume we handle.

πŸ“‹
Clean, accurate books every month

Every transaction categorized, every account reconciled, every report ready before tax season. No more scrambling in April.

πŸ’‘
CFO-level insight included

A plain-English explanation of what your numbers mean β€” where you made money, where you lost it, what to watch, and what to do next.

πŸ“Š
Tax-ready financials all year

Your books stay current every month. When your CPA asks for your financials, they're ready in minutes.

πŸ“ž
A real person who knows your numbers

Not a support ticket. A CFO who reads your books every month and knows your business β€” your job mix, your busy season, your margins β€” as well as you do.

πŸ“…
Annual Business Review Call β€” included on every plan

We schedule your first call in month 1 to walk through your books together, answer questions, and make sure you're getting full value. Then once a year after that.


Transparent pricing

Priced by volume.
No surprises.

Every plan includes the same deliverable: clean books and a CFO insight summary on a guaranteed monthly schedule. Plans are sized by monthly transaction volume so you only pay for what your business actually needs.
