How it works

Get started in three steps.

  1. Meet your account manager

    Talk through your business, your software and what is slowing you down. Then we take the bookkeeping and back-office work off your plate.

  2. Connect and review your data

    We work directly in your accounting system, so there are no repetitive file transfers. We review where things stand and fix what needs fixing.

  3. Launch, and get your ZEN back

    Most clients launch within three days of calling us. From then on you receive detailed monthly reports with insight you can act on.

Questions

Bookkeeping and accounting FAQ

What does AccountZen do?

AccountZen is an outsourced bookkeeping and accounting firm based in San Diego, California. We handle daily bookkeeping, bank and credit card reconciliations, accounts payable, month-end and year-end close, monthly financial statements, budgeting, audit preparation, and controller and fractional CFO support for businesses across the United States.

Is AccountZen a fit for small businesses or larger companies?

Both. Owner-led businesses usually start with daily bookkeeping and a monthly financial package. Growing and multi-entity companies add a dependable close, controller oversight and fractional CFO support. The same team scales the work up or down as your business changes.

Do I have to switch accounting software?

No. We work inside the system you already use, including QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Sage 100, Microsoft Dynamics, Acumatica, Yardi, AppFolio and Buildium. If a change would help, we explain why before anything moves.

Most clients are up and running within three days of their first call. You meet a dedicated account manager, we connect to your software, and your books start moving.

Do you require a long-term contract?

No. AccountZen does not require long-term contracts, paid assessments or startup fees to become a client. We would rather earn your business every month.

Who owns our books and data?

You do. Your accounting systems and financial data stay in your name, and you keep admin control. AccountZen works as a trusted user of your system, not the gatekeeper.

Do you prepare taxes?

We prepare the books and reporting your tax CPA needs, and we coordinate directly with your CPA. Tax preparation itself stays with your CPA.

Yes. Our Real Estate Accounting division supports property owners, operators and property management companies, with Yardi, AppFolio and Buildium experience and reporting built for properties and entities.
