Sound Familiar?

The Warning Signs

Most business owners know something is off with their books. They just don’t know where to start.

Months or years of transactions sitting unreconciled

Your P&L doesn’t match what you know happened this year

Stripe, PayPal, or Venmo deposits not matching your books

Tax season approaching and your numbers aren’t ready

You avoid opening QuickBooks because it feels overwhelming

Your CPA keeps asking for records you can’t easily pull

You can’t tell if your business is actually profitable right now

Bank accounts haven’t been reconciled — you’re not sure where to start

Our Approach

Think of Us as Your
Financial Mechanic.

A good mechanic never replaces parts without running a diagnostic first. They find the problem, show you the findings, give you a fixed quote — then fix it. We do the exact same thing for your books.

The difference between a trustworthy mechanic and one that takes advantage of you? The trustworthy one shows you what’s wrong before charging you. That’s our model — we diagnose first, always for free, so you’re never in the dark about what you’re paying for.

“We don’t guess what’s wrong with your books. We find out — then we fix it.”

— Camille Murrell, Founder & Strategic Bookkeeping Advisor

🔧 Your Mechanic 📒 Your Bookkeeper
Step 1

Something feels off — warning light, strange noise. You bring the car in.

Your reports don’t look right. Numbers feel off. You reach out to us.

Step 2

They run a full diagnostic scan. No guessing, no replacing parts blindly.

We run a free Diagnostic Review of your records. Every account, every gap.

Step 3

They hand you a findings report — exactly what’s wrong and why.

You receive a detailed findings report in plain language. No jargon.

Step 4

Fixed quote for the repair. You approve it before they touch anything.

Fixed project fee. You review and approve before we start the cleanup.

Step 5

They fix it. You drive away with confidence.

We clean it up. You open QuickBooks with complete confidence.

The Process

Five steps from messy books to clean, CPA-ready financials. The first step costs you nothing.

A clear, written findings report — exactly what’s wrong, in plain English. You receive this before spending a cent.

Fixed Quote & Cleanup

One fixed price, agreed upfront. 50% to start, 50% on completion. We clean the books.

5

Final Review & CPA-Ready Reports

We deliver fully reconciled, CPA-ready financial statements — organized, accurate, and ready for your accountant or tax filing.

No surprises. No hourly billing. No quote before we know exactly what’s wrong.

Meet Your Bookkeeper

Hi, I’m Camille.
Your On-Demand
Financial Partner.

I founded Murrell Bookkeeping Services because I kept seeing the same thing: talented, hard-working business owners held back not by their skills — but by their books. Transactions piling up. Reports that don’t make sense. Tax season turning into a nightmare.

With over 18 years of accounting experience and a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor credential, I built a process that fixes the mess first — and keeps it clean going forward. My promise: I’ll never give you a quote until I actually know what’s wrong.

FAQ

Questions,
Answered.

How much does a cleanup project cost?
Every project is different — scope depends on how far behind your books are. That’s exactly why we start with a free Diagnostic Review. Once we know what’s wrong, we give you a fixed quote. No hourly billing, no scope surprises.
How far behind can my books be?
Whether you’re a few months or several years behind, we’ve seen it. The Diagnostic Review tells us exactly how much ground needs to be covered, and we build the project from there.
Why don’t you just give me a quote upfront?
Because a quote without a diagnosis is a guess — and guesses get expensive. We diagnose first so the price we give you is accurate, fair, and covers everything. No hidden work discovered halfway through.
What happens after the cleanup?
Many clients move into ongoing monthly bookkeeping to keep their books accurate going forward. We’ll discuss that option — but there’s never any pressure to continue.
Do I need QuickBooks Online to get started?
Not right away. If you already have QuickBooks Online, simply grant us accountant access and we’ll take it from there. If you don’t have it yet, provide supporting documents — bank statements, prior tax returns, any financial records you have. QuickBooks Online will be needed once the actual cleanup begins, and we’ll walk you through that when the time comes.
Will my CPA be able to use the reports?
Yes. Every cleanup ends with CPA-ready financial statements and complete documentation of every correction. Many clients find their CPA fees go down after a cleanup because we’ve done the heavy lifting.
How fast can you start?
The Diagnostic Review is typically completed within 3–5 business days of receiving your QuickBooks Online access or supporting documents. For the actual clean-up project, turnaround takes between 4–12 weeks — sometimes longer depending on the complexity and how many months or years behind your books are.
Why Waiting Costs More

The Longer You Wait,
The More It Costs.

Bookkeeping problems don’t get easier with time. Every month that passes adds more transactions to untangle, more discrepancies to resolve, and more risk heading into tax season.

IRS penalties & late filing fees

Inaccurate or missing records lead to costly tax mistakes

Missed deductions you can’t recover

Uncategorized expenses mean money left on the table

Higher CPA cleanup fees

The messier the books, the more your CPA charges to sort them

Loan & financing roadblocks

Lenders require clean financials — messy books can kill a deal

Our Promise to You

We run the diagnostic first — always for free. If we review your books and find nothing that needs fixing, we’ll tell you that honestly and send you on your way. No pressure, no upsell.

You’ll never be handed a surprise invoice. The quote comes after the findings — and not a moment before.
