I run a small construction business and my books were pretty much non existent. i.e receipts and papers in piles. I was waiting for the letter from the IRS and it finally showed up demanding payment for back taxes. Total nightmare.
These guys stepped in and cleaned everything up. They sorted years of chaos, dealt with the IRS stuff, and got me back on track. They explained things in a way I could actually understand and didn’t make me feel stupid for letting it get so bad.
If you’re a contractor and your books are a disaster, call them.

I didn’t realize how stressful changing bookkeepers would feel until mine retired after years of working together. Then Steve and Chanelle stepped in and completely eased that worry. They asked thoughtful questions about how I run things, noticed details I never would have thought to mention, and had me feeling like everything was under control almost immediately. What I appreciate most is how approachable they are...I can send over a my “silly” question and they answers with patience and clarity every single time. It feels like I’ve gained not just a bookkeeper, but a trusted partner who makes tax time and day-to-day finances far less overwhelming.

I own three dry clean and laundromats in Manhattan and had pretty much lost faith in my current bookkeeper. When Steve came in, he didn’t just start from scratch, he actually dug into my prior years statements and tax returns.
Within a week or so, he found that our depreciation schedule was completely wrong and several heavy equipment purchases had been expensed instead of capitalized. He helped me file amended returns and I ended up getting over $9,000 back between federal and state.
FINALLY I can finally see which locations and services are most profitable It’s the first time in years I’ve felt like I have real control over the business.

Ive worked with Julie at SnapBooks for the past two years, and I cant recommend her enough. My tax situation is fairly complex, and Im not always the fastest at getting all my documents in but Julie is always incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. She makes the process smooth and stress-free, no matter how complicated things get. If youre self-employed or have a more involved return, I would 100% recommend trusting Julie and SnapBooks with your tax needs.
