Who this is for

For small business owners tired of doing this themselves.

If any of these sound familiar, we built this for you.

What we do

Everything your books need. Nothing you have to think about.

We handle the day-to-day work. A CPA reviews everything before it reaches you.

01 / Books

Books Kept Up to Date

Every transaction recorded, every account reconciled, every month. No backlog, no end-of-year scramble.

02 / Bills & Invoices

Bills Paid, Invoices Sent

We pay your vendors on time and send invoices to your customers. You stop chasing payments and stay out of the inbox.

03 / Payroll

Payroll Handled

We work with your payroll provider (Gusto, ADP, Rippling) so your team gets paid right and the numbers land cleanly in your books.

04 / Reports

A Monthly Report You'll Actually Read

A clear, one-page summary of how the business is doing each month — in plain English, not accountant-speak.

05 / Tax Season

Your Tax Accountant Talks to Us

We know your books inside out. When your tax accountant has questions, they come to us instead of you. No more digging through receipts in April.

06 / Year-End

Clean Handoff Every January

Your books are closed, reconciled, and packaged for your tax preparer — so they have everything they need to file on day one.

What we don't do: file your taxes. We're not a tax firm. We make tax season painless by keeping your books clean year-round and working directly with the accountant who files for you.

How it works

How we keep the cost down without cutting corners.

There are three parts to how the work gets done. Each one does a job the others can't do as well — which is how the price stays low and the quality stays high.

Step 1

A Real Team Does the Work

A trained team — assigned to your account and consistent every month — handles the day-to-day: entering transactions, reconciling accounts, building your month-end file. Not a faceless app and not a different person each month.

Step 2

Software Double-Checks

Software scans the work for anything that looks wrong — odd numbers, missing entries, things that don't match up. It catches the small stuff before a person ever has to look for it.

Step 3

A CPA Signs Off

Before anything reaches you, a North American CPA reviews it. That's the same standard of review you'd get at a much more expensive firm — built into every plan.

The result: clean, accurate books reviewed by a CPA — without paying CPA rates for the day-to-day work. You're paying for the senior judgment that actually matters, and software handles the rest.

Pricing

Three simple plans. All include a CPA review.

A full-time bookkeeper costs $55,000–$75,000 a year once you add benefits and taxes. With our launch pricing, your first 6 months start at less than a third of that — and a CPA reviews the work too.

Frequently asked

Common questions before signing up.

How is this different from Bench, Pilot, or Botkeeper?

Those are software-first products. Staq is people-first. A real team does your books and a CPA reviews the work each month before you see it. Software helps us catch mistakes — it isn't the bookkeeper.

Are you new?

Yes — and that's the point. Our first 25 clients get the launch rate and our full attention because we have the bandwidth right now. After those spots fill, the standard rate kicks in for everyone else. The work we do isn't new; the firm is.

Do you file my taxes?

No — we're not a tax firm. We keep your books clean year-round so your tax accountant has everything they need at filing time. When they have questions, they come to us instead of you.

Can you work with U.S. clients?

Yes. We work in US GAAP, in your existing US accounting software, and hand off to your US tax preparer at year-end. We're not a tax firm in any country — we're the bookkeeping operation behind the scenes.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. After an initial three-month setup period, you can cancel anytime with 30 days notice. No long contracts, no exit fees.

What if my books are months behind?

Common situation. We quote the catch-up work separately as a one-time project so you can see the cost before committing to a monthly plan. Most cleanups take 2–4 weeks.

Is my financial data safe?

Yes. Everything is encrypted, access is limited to your team, and we sign an NDA up front. We can work inside the accounting software you already have — your data doesn't have to move.

How fast can we start?

Usually 2 to 4 weeks. Faster if your books are already in decent shape, longer if there's cleanup to do. We tell you the timeline before you sign anything.

Will I work with the same person each month?

Yes. You get a regular point of contact and the same team each month. A CPA reviews everything before it reaches you. No revolving door.

What accounting software do you use?

QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Sage Intacct, and NetSuite. We can keep using what you already have, or help you switch if it's holding you back.

What we've done

A look at the work, with the names left out.

Confidentiality matters in this industry, so we don't name names. Here's the kind of work we deliver.

Property Management · ~$13M · 6 entities

Six entities, one clean set of books.

A multi-entity property management group needed someone to own the books across all six companies — intercompany transactions, consolidated statements, AR/AP across the group, trust accounting, cash flow forecasting, and annual budgeting. We run the close every month and hand off everything the tax accountant needs for corporate filings.

Home Services · ~$4M

Books current in a month — financing approved.

A home services company needed bank financing but the books were months behind, so the bank wouldn't move. We came in, cleaned everything up, and delivered current financial statements inside 30 days. Financing closed shortly after.

Real Estate Brokerage · audit prep

Books reconciled in time for a licensing audit.

A real estate brokerage was facing an audit from the licensing board and needed clean, reconciled books on a tight timeline. We rebuilt the records and reconciled every account so the brokerage could pass review without delay.

Client names withheld for confidentiality. Reference calls available on request once we're a few conversations in.
