Denver accounting support for owner-led businesses

Clean books. Reliable close. Finance in order.

When accounting has become a pressure point

Spreadsheets living on random desktops?

When the books are scattered, every request becomes harder than it should be. EJC helps pull the records, reconciliations, schedules, and open items into one organized accounting process.

The goal is simple: cleaner books, clearer reporting, and fewer fire drills.

Services

Where EJC can step in.

Most engagements start with one of four needs: recurring monthly accounting, cleanup and catch-up, tax-ready records, or oversight across open items and handoffs.

Monthly Accounting & Close

For businesses whose books are mostly current, but the recurring work still lacks an owner. EJC handles reconciliations, monthly entries, close tasks, review notes, and the reporting package.

Common signsThe books are mostly current, but reconciliations, close tasks, or reporting still slip.

First focusBank and credit card reconciliations, monthly entries, close checklist, balance sheet review, open items, and reporting package.

Cleanup & Catch-Up

For books with historical periods, stale balances, unreconciled accounts, or reports no one fully trusts. EJC repairs the records enough to move into monthly support, tax-ready work, or internal maintenance.

Common signsOld periods are messy, balances do not tie, or reconciliations are too far behind for monthly support to hold.

First focusHistorical periods, reconciliation gaps, stale balances, balance sheet repair, cleanup entries, and documentation.

Tax-Ready Accounting

For businesses that need tax-ready books, supporting schedules, and filing-period accounting support. EJC scopes the tax support around the review, including organized books, schedules, filing-period questions, and coordination around the return process.

Common signsFiling season keeps creating document hunts, missing schedules, cleanup, or avoidable tax questions.

First focusSupporting schedules, fixed-asset details, loan balances, owner draws, 1099 support, filing-period questions, and tax professional coordination.

Accounting Oversight

For businesses with accounting pieces already in place, but no clear owner for review cadence, issue tracking, deadlines, or provider handoffs.

Common signsReports go out, but open items, follow-up, or deadlines still come back to the owner.

First focusIssue log, review cadence, deadline tracking, reporting review, provider coordination, and unresolved-item follow-up.
