We've got answers.

Getting Started
1. Who does Songbird Accounting work with?
Songbird Accounting specializes in working with established coaches, consultants, and membership or subscription-based business owners who want greater clarity, control, and confidence in their finances.
We primarily serve six- and seven-figure service-based businesses that are ready to move beyond basic bookkeeping and make more informed financial decisions.
Whether you're looking for professional bookkeeping oversight or a more hands-on financial partnership, our services are designed to meet you where your business is today.
2. What is the Deep Dive Analysis™, and why do I need one?
The Deep Dive Analysis™ is our comprehensive financial assessment and the starting point for every Songbird Accounting partnership.
We examine your financial records, cash flow, profitability, accounting systems, and operational challenges to identify what's working, what needs attention, and where opportunities may be hiding.
You'll receive a personalized findings report, clear recommendations, and a roadmap for moving forward.
Rather than recommending services based on assumptions, we use this analysis to understand your business and establish the appropriate scope and pricing for each of our monthly service plans.
3. How much do your services cost?
Every partnership begins with a Deep Dive Analysis™ priced at $1,500. If you move forward with ongoing monthly services, $750 is credited toward your first monthly invoice.
Our three monthly service plans start at:
Baseline Balance: $500/month
Clarity & Control: $1,500/month
Strategic Suite: $2,500/month
Your actual pricing depends on your business's size, transaction volume, accounting complexity, and service requirements.
Following your Deep Dive Analysis™, you'll receive customized pricing for all three packages, allowing you to choose the level of support that works best for your business.
4. How do I choose the right monthly service plan?
That depends on how involved you want to be in managing your finances and how much professional support your business needs.
Baseline Balance is for business owners who prefer to manage their own bookkeeping but want professional monthly oversight, reconciliations, and financial reporting.
Clarity & Control is for founders who want us to handle their bookkeeping while working together on cash flow, profitability, and ongoing financial strategy.
Strategic Suite provides more comprehensive financial operations oversight, forecasting, budgeting, and strategic guidance for founders who want deeper financial leadership.
During your Deep Dive Analysis™ findings meeting, we'll explain what each package includes and present your customized pricing so you can make an informed decision.
Services & Financial Support
5. What's the difference between bookkeeping and financial advisory?
Bookkeeping tells you what's happened in your business. Financial advisory helps you understand why it's happening and what to do next.
Accurate bookkeeping provides the foundation, but financial advisory goes further. It helps you understand cash flow, evaluate profitability, identify financial risks, and make informed decisions about your business's future.
At Songbird Accounting, we bring both together. Depending on your service plan, we provide everything from professional bookkeeping oversight to ongoing financial strategy and forward-looking planning.
Because knowing your numbers is important. Knowing what to do with them is where real progress begins.
6. Do you handle my bookkeeping, or do I?
That depends on which service plan you choose.
With Baseline Balance, you manage your day-to-day bookkeeping in Xero. We provide initial training, monthly transaction reviews, bank and credit card reconciliations, and financial reporting to help ensure your books stay accurate and organized.
With Clarity & Control, we take care of your routine bookkeeping, reconciliations, and financial reporting while you continue managing your day-to-day business activities, such as customer invoicing and collections. We also work with you on cash flow, profitability, and financial decisions.
With Strategic Suite, we take a more active role in your financial operations, providing comprehensive oversight, forecasting, budgeting, and strategic guidance. Specific operational responsibilities are established in your customized engagement agreement.
Every plan is designed to provide the level of support that best fits how you want to run your business.
7. Can you help if my bookkeeping is behind or inaccurate?
Absolutely. You don't need perfectly organized books to get started with Songbird Accounting.
Our Deep Dive Analysis™ helps us identify missing transactions, reconciliation discrepancies, accounting errors, and other issues that may be affecting the accuracy of your financial records.
If cleanup or catch-up bookkeeping is needed, we'll outline the necessary work and provide a separate quote.
Before ongoing monthly services begin, your books must be fully reconciled, accurate, and up to date. This ensures we're building your financial strategy on reliable information rather than carrying old problems forward.
8. Can you help with subscriptions and multiple revenue streams?
Yes. We specialize in helping coaches, consultants, and membership-based founders understand the financial complexities that come with recurring revenue and multiple offers.
Whether your business generates income through coaching programs, consulting engagements, digital products, subscriptions, or memberships, we help establish financial systems that accurately track how your business earns and manages money.
Depending on your service plan, this can include payment processor reconciliations, recurring revenue tracking, profitability analysis by program or revenue stream, and cash flow forecasting.
Our goal is to help you understand more than total revenue. We want you to see which parts of your business are contributing to profitability and where adjustments could make a meaningful difference.
Working Together
9. What accounting software does Songbird Accounting use?
Songbird Accounting uses Xero, a cloud-based accounting platform that gives business owners secure access to their financial information.
We also use Hubdoc to simplify document collection and organization, making it easier to keep receipts, invoices, and other financial records in one place.
For businesses with subscriptions, memberships, or multiple payment platforms, we help establish workflows that keep financial information accurate and organized.
If you're currently using another accounting system, we'll evaluate your setup during the Deep Dive Analysis™ and determine what may be needed to transition to Xero.
Xero setup and subscription are included in our monthly service plans, with additional implementation work quoted separately when necessary.
10. Do I still need a CPA if I work with Songbird Accounting?
Yes, and we encourage it.
Your CPA and Songbird Accounting serve different but complementary roles.
Your CPA typically focuses on tax preparation, tax planning, and tax-related compliance. Songbird focuses on keeping your financial records accurate, helping you understand your business's performance, and providing the financial guidance included in your service plan.
With accurate, organized books throughout the year, your CPA has better information to work with when tax season arrives.
For clients with Clarity & Control or Strategic Suite, we also provide coordination with your tax professionals as part of our ongoing financial support.
Think of it as having the right professionals working together to support your business.
11. Can you help with tax preparation and planning?
We help you stay financially organized and prepared for tax season, but we don't prepare income tax returns or replace your CPA.
Our services include maintaining accurate financial records, organizing supporting documentation, and preparing financial reports your tax professional needs.
Depending on your service plan, we can also collaborate with your CPA throughout the year to address accounting questions, discuss financial developments, and support tax-planning conversations.
We also offer services such as 1099 preparation and filing and sales tax compliance as optional add-ons.
Our goal is to help you avoid the year-end scramble and give your tax professional reliable financial information to work with.
12. What happens after the Deep Dive Analysis™?
Once we've completed your Deep Dive Analysis™, we'll meet with you to review the findings, explain what we've uncovered, and discuss the opportunities and challenges affecting your business.
You'll receive a written report with our findings, recommendations, and a roadmap for moving forward.
We'll also present customized pricing for all three monthly service plans, explain what's included in each, and review any additional services your business may need.
You decide whether to move forward and which level of support is right for you. There's no obligation to enroll in ongoing services.
If you choose to partner with Songbird, $750 of your Deep Dive Analysis™ investment is credited toward your first monthly service invoice.
If your books require cleanup, we'll complete that work before beginning your ongoing monthly services.
Either way, you'll walk away with a clearer understanding of your financial position and what deserves your attention next.
Ready to Turn Clarity into Strategy?
You didn't build your business to spend your days questioning your numbers.
Whether you're struggling to understand where your money is going, wondering why growing revenue isn't translating into more cash, or trying to make your next big decision with incomplete financial information, you deserve answers.
Your Deep Dive Analysis™ is where those answers begin. We'll uncover what's happening beneath the numbers and give you a clear path toward stronger financial decisions.
