Our construction business has been working with Kathryn and Reno-Tahoe Bookkeeping now for about 5 months. The entire experience has been exceptional. Kathryn was quick to learning our needs and has made our business run so much smoother.For fifteen years, I did all of our companies books and was worried that hiring someone else for this would be a mess. However, it was the best decision we ever made. I now have more free time to focus on growing my business and focusing on the tasks needed to keep my crews running efficiently. Kathryn is organized, driven, and always up for a challenge. I highly recommend that you give her a try, she will not disappoint.

FAQ

Frequently Ask Questions.

Welcome to the Reno Tahoe Bookkeeping FAQ section, where we address your most common questions about our bookkeeping, payroll, and consulting services to help you better understand how we can support your business.

A bookkeeper keeps your day-to-day financial records accurate — transactions, reconciliations, and reports that tell you where your business stands right now.

A fractional CFO takes those numbers and turns them into strategy: cash flow forecasting, job costing, pricing decisions, and the financial clarity to plan your next move — without the cost of a full-time hire.

A CPA handles tax filing and compliance, making sure you meet IRS requirements and file correctly each year.

Most construction and trades businesses need all three at different points — but bookkeeping and fractional CFO support are the two you'll lean on year-round. We provide both, so your books and your strategy are never out of sync.

Yes. Every construction and trades business runs differently, so we build your service around what you actually need — whether that's straightforward bookkeeping, controller-level oversight, or full fractional CFO support. We'll start with a conversation about where your business stands today and scale up as you grow, rather than locking you into a one-size-fits-all package.

Your first meeting is your free business risk assessment. We'll go through where your business currently stands — cash flow, profitability, debt, and growth risk — so you walk away with a clear picture, not just a sales pitch. From there, we'll talk about which services make sense for where you are now, whether that's bookkeeping, controller support, or fractional CFO strategy. We aim to become a team, and be prepared that we may discuss your finances.

Please come prepared with your last couple of bank statements and anything you use to run your business. Ensure you have your most recent receipts saved. Even if you feel completely unorganized, it's okay. We will create a system that you will understand.

I will help prepare your accounts to be able to file taxes and assist with 1099s. While I do not actually file the taxes, I ensure your accounts and ledgers are in order so your CPA can efficiently assist with the filing process.

Outsourcing payroll and bookkeeping services can save time and reduce errors, ensuring that financial records are accurate and employees are paid on time. It helps businesses stay compliant with financial regulations and frees up internal resources to focus on core business activities. Additionally, outsourcing can be more cost-effective as it eliminates the need to pay employment taxes and benefits for in-house staff. It also provides access to expert knowledge and advanced technology that can streamline financial management processes.

Bookkeeping covers your day-to-day financial records, transactions, reconciliations, and reporting. For payroll, we don't process it directly, but we help get it set up and running smoothly through platforms like Gusto, so your employees are paid accurately and everything stays in sync with your books.
