Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Catch-up bookkeeping is for business owners whose books have fallen behind or no longer give them a clear picture of where the business stands.

Maybe transactions have not been categorized. Maybe bank or credit card accounts have not been reconciled. Maybe QuickBooks does not match the bank. Maybe receipts, loans, transfers, payments, invoices, or merchant deposits are creating confusion. Or maybe the books have simply been pushed aside because the business has been busy.

Squared Away CT helps sort through the mess and bring your records back up to date.

Catch-up bookkeeping can include reviewing your QuickBooks file, organizing transactions, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, reviewing loans and payments, cleaning up categories, organizing receipts and records, and helping prepare cleaner information for tax time.

The goal is not just to catch up the books. The goal is to make your records easier to understand, easier to manage, and more useful going forward.

You do not need to have everything perfectly organized before reaching out. If your books feel behind, confusing, incomplete, or overwhelming, we start where things are and help get them squared away.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Monthly bookkeeping is ongoing support to help keep your business records organized, current, and easier to manage throughout the year.

Instead of waiting until tax time or letting transactions pile up, monthly bookkeeping keeps your books updated on a regular schedule. This can include categorizing income and expenses, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, reviewing transactions, organizing records, and helping make sure your books reflect what is actually happening in the business.

For small business owners, monthly bookkeeping helps reduce the stress of falling behind. It gives you a clearer picture of what is coming in, what is going out, where money is being spent, and whether the business is staying on track.

Squared Away CT provides practical monthly bookkeeping support for Connecticut small businesses that need consistent organization without complicated reports or corporate jargon.

The goal is simple: keep your books current, make your records easier to understand, and help you avoid the mess that comes from months of ignored bookkeeping.

Monthly bookkeeping is a good fit if you want cleaner records, better visibility, fewer surprises at tax time, and a more organized way to manage the financial side of your business.

Payroll Services

Payroll services are for business owners who want a simpler, more organized way to pay employees and contractors without payroll becoming another stressful task on their plate.

Squared Away CT helps small Connecticut businesses get payroll set up, organized, and easier to manage through a trusted online payroll platform with practical support behind it. This is built for contractors, trades, landscapers, service businesses, restaurants, small crews, and owner-operated businesses that need payroll handled clearly and consistently.

Payroll support can include payroll setup, W-2 employee payroll, 1099 contractor payments, direct deposit, online pay stubs, payroll reports, employee self-service, multiple pay rates, bonuses, overtime, salaried payroll runs, weekly, biweekly, or monthly payroll, and payroll tax filing support through the platform.

The goal is to make payroll easier to run, easier to understand, and easier to stay on top of.

For many small business owners, payroll is not just about paying people. It also means deadlines, tax filings, employee records, pay stubs, questions, reports, and keeping everything organized. Squared Away CT helps simplify that process so you are not trying to figure it out alone.

Additional payroll support may also be available for certified payroll reporting, I-9 verification support, notarized payroll documents, and payroll-related record organization.

You do not need to have payroll perfectly figured out before reaching out. Whether you are hiring your first employee, switching payroll providers, paying a small crew, managing multiple pay rates, or trying to make payroll less of a headache, Squared Away CT can help you get it squared away.

Additional Payroll Support

Additional payroll services are for business owners who need payroll-related support beyond standard payroll processing.

Some businesses have extra payroll requirements because of the type of work they do, the employees they hire, the jobs they take on, or the documents they need to provide. Squared Away CT offers practical add-on support to help keep those details organized and easier to manage.

Additional payroll support may include certified payroll reporting, I-9 verification support, notarized payroll documents, payroll record organization, and help reviewing payroll-related paperwork.

Certified payroll support is often needed for businesses working on public works, prevailing wage, or government-funded projects. These jobs usually require specific payroll information to be reported by project, employee, wage rate, classification, and hours worked. Squared Away CT can help organize those details and complete certified payroll reporting when needed.

I-9 verification support is available for businesses that need help with employee identity and work authorization documentation. This helps make the onboarding process more organized and ensures important employment records are handled properly.

Notarized payroll documents are available when a payroll-related document needs to be formally notarized for a job, agency, audit, lender, contractor, or other business purpose.

These services are designed to give small business owners extra support when payroll comes with more paperwork, more rules, or more documentation than usual.

You do not need to figure it all out alone. If a project, employee situation, audit, or payroll document requirement has you unsure what to do next, Squared Away CT can help you get the details organized and squared away.

New & Existing Small Business Consulting

New and existing small business consulting is practical support for business owners who need help getting organized, making decisions, improving systems, staying compliant, or figuring out what needs attention next.

For new business owners, consulting can help turn a business idea into a clearer plan. This may include deciding what services to offer, who the business will serve, how to organize startup steps, what paperwork needs attention, how to prepare for bookkeeping, when to think about payroll, what compliance requirements may apply, and what systems should be in place before things get busy.

For existing business owners, consulting is focused on improving how the business runs. This may include reviewing workflows, organizing admin tasks, improving estimate and invoice processes, creating checklists or SOPs, reviewing pricing or profitability, tracking jobs and customers, organizing records, reviewing compliance-related paperwork, or identifying where time, money, or energy is being wasted.

Squared Away CT works with Connecticut small businesses that are tired of running everything from memory, scattered notes, text messages, messy paperwork, missed deadlines, or systems that no longer keep up.

This is not corporate consulting filled with buzzwords and complicated reports. It is plain-English, practical support designed to help small business owners bring more structure to the parts of the business that feel messy, inefficient, confusing, risky, or harder than they need to be.

The goal is simple: help you get clearer, more organized, better prepared, and more confident that the important details are not slipping through the cracks.

Connecticut Notary Services

Connecticut notary services are available for business owners and individuals who need documents properly witnessed, signed, and notarized.

A notary helps verify identity, confirm that the person signing is doing so willingly, and complete the notarial certificate required for the document. This can be helpful for business paperwork, payroll-related documents, affidavits, forms, authorizations, agreements, and other documents that require notarization.

Squared Away CT offers notary support with a practical, organized approach. The goal is to make the process clear, professional, and straightforward so you are not left guessing what to bring, where to sign, or what information is needed.

Notary services may include acknowledgment of signatures, jurats, sworn statements, business document notarization, payroll-related notarized documents, and general document notarization allowed under Connecticut notary rules.

Before the appointment, you should have the document ready, bring a valid government-issued photo ID, and avoid signing until you are in front of the notary if the document requires witnessed signing.

Notary services do not include legal advice, document drafting, or deciding which type of notarization your document requires. If you are unsure what the document needs, you may need to confirm with the agency, lender, attorney, employer, or organization requesting the notarized document.

Squared Away CT helps make the notarization process simple, organized, and professional so your documents can be handled correctly and efficiently.
