Washington DC Small Business Bookkeeping
Monthly bookkeeping with a real person you can reach
We work with many businesses in the Washington, DC area. You'll have a dedicated bookkeeper who gets to know your business—someone you can call, text or email when questions come up.
Our work is performed virtually. Monthly bookkeeping starts at $150/month, with services and pricing based on your business's needs.
Bookkeeping with tax preparation in mind
We also prepare tax returns, so we keep tax preparation in mind as we work on your books throughout the year. That means your bookkeeping isn't being handled in isolation from the tax work it ultimately supports.
You can use us for bookkeeping, tax preparation or both. Tax preparation is separately priced.
How we can help
Monthly bookkeeping
We organize and categorize transactions, reconcile bank and credit card accounts, and prepare financial reports. Your bookkeeper will help you understand your reports and answer questions about your books.
Payroll
We can also help with payroll. We'll explain the services and pricing for your business.
Bookkeeping cleanup
Behind by months or years? Or maybe your QuickBooks reports don't look right. We can help you figure out what needs attention and talk through the work involved.
Tax preparation
We prepare business and personal tax returns. Tax preparation is quoted separately.
Learn about business tax preparation or personal tax preparation.
We'll explain what's included in your bookkeeping plan. Payroll, tax preparation, accounts payable, invoicing and accounts receivable aren't automatically included in the monthly starting price.

Christopher Schiavone, City Square Associates
“Having Chanelle and SnapBooks on our team has been game-changing. I'm spending more of my time leading the business, and less of it trying to troubleshoot a QuickBooks glitch or hunt down a missing expense. And, for the first time in 25 years, I feel like I can always get an accurate picture of our financial situation in real-time. The SnapBooks bookkeepers are just a pleasure to work with. They’re responsive, empathetic, and personable.”

“Our law firm has had a great experience working with SnapBooks. From onboarding to the flow of monthly bookkeeping and payroll processing, this team has been great to work with. Jessica's attention to detail is unmatched, which is critical in a law practice. I feel confident that our business books are in great hands. “

“SnapBooks is responsive to inquiries, efficient, and reliable. After hiring them for a Quickbooks 'cleanup,' I chose to continue with ongoing monthly support. My quarterly and annual reports are always ready to go at tax time. If you are looking for a very reasonably priced partner to help you organize your business, I highly recommend you give SnapBooks a call!”

“Can’t say enough good things about the Snapbooks team! They are knowledgeable, helpful, and responsive. I put off getting Bookkeeper Support for the last few years and my books were a mess. They were patient, were able to sort through everything, give me advice, and get me on the right track. I can’t tell you how much better it feels knowing that Snapbooks is taking care of my books.”

Paul Schiavone, Boston Chefs
“We engaged SnapBooks because we needed a vendor that would manage our books with as much care and detail as we would if we were able to do it in-house...but we ended up getting so much more. Not only is SnapBooks incredibly responsive and reliable, but they've also helped us dramatically improve our financial operations and are consistently anticipating our needs. “
We make bookkeeping personal

Need to catch up on your bookkeeping?

Start with a free bookkeeping cleanup review. We'll take a look, explain what the work would involve and give you a clear quote before cleanup work begins, with no obligation to move forward.
