About
Most of my clients come to me after a bookkeeper who didn't deliver, or after years of handling it themselves and falling behind. Paul went through three before he found me. His books had been broken for six years. He called it "an answer to our prayers."
I'm Elena, founder of KeepBookers. I work with small business owners who want clean books, straight answers, and a real person who actually knows their numbers.
What I do:
📚 Monthly bookkeeping
🧹 Cleanup & catch-up (yes, even years behind)
📊 Financial statements: P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow
📈 Financial dashboards, budgets, and cash flow planning
❓ QuickBooks Online setup and support
🤝 CPA coordination at tax time
What I don't do:
❌ File taxes (I prepare everything your tax preparer needs and hand it off directly)
❌ Run payroll (I reconcile it on your books and can help you get set up with a platform)
❌ In-person meetings (fully remote, all online)
If your books are behind or have never been properly set up, that's okay.
I've seen everything and I don't judge where you're starting. Reach out and let's talk through what you need.

Elena from Keepbookers.com is an absolute gem! From the moment we started working together, she has gone above and beyond to provide exceptional support. Her attention to detail is unmatched—she catches things I would have completely missed and keeps everything perfectly organized.
Elena is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also professional, responsive, and easy to work with. She took the time to truly understand my business and tailored her approach to meet my needs. I’ve never felt more confident that my books are accurate and in expert hands.
If you’re looking for a bookkeeper who is sharp, dependable, and truly invested in your success, look no further than Elena. She is simply outstanding!

Elena has been invaluable in helping my business get it's financials organized. She was able to clean up years of messy bookkeeping in a matter of weeks. She is very responsive, easy to work with and has very reasonable rates. I highly recommend Elena to anyone who needs assistance with their bookkeeping.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $400/month, scoped to your specific business before you commit to anything. Most cleanup projects are quoted as a flat fee so you know the full number upfront.
Here's what's always included:
No surprise invoices
No long-term contracts
A clear quote before any work begins
For cleanups that are difficult to scope upfront, I'll give you a rough estimate and bill hourly instead. Half is invoiced before we begin and the balance is due when the project is complete.
For clients who want more than clean books, I also offer Clarity Advisory: a custom financial dashboard, monthly insights, and quarterly strategy sessions that turn your numbers into actual decisions. Pricing for that starts at $750/month on top of bookkeeping.
One thing worth knowing: I'm not the cheapest option on Thumbtack and I'm not trying to be. The clients who find me after a cheap bookkeeper didn't work out end up paying twice, once for the bad work and again for the cleanup. A clear price for work that actually gets done is a better deal every time.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a free discovery call where I learn about your business and your books. If we're a good fit, I send a clear proposal with the exact scope and price. Once you sign, you'll get access to a client portal with everything I need to get started, including step-by-step instructions for connecting your accounts.
From there:
Kickoff call to walk through your books together
Monthly reconciliations, financials, and plain-language summaries
Year-round access for questions, no extra charge
CPA coordination at tax time
Most clients are up and running within one to two weeks. No waiting until tax season to find out where you stand.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bachelor's degree in finance, University of Illinois Chicago
Intuit Certified Advanced QuickBooks ProAdvisor, the highest level of certification Intuit offers
Years of bookkeeping experience inside accounting firms before founding KeepBookers
What that means for you: I'm not learning on your books. I've seen complex situations across manufacturing, hospitality, vending, environmental services, and franchise development, and I know how to handle them.
