Did You Know That There Are 7 Financial Mistakes That Over 90% Of Childcare & Preschool Businesses Make?
Your ally in navigating the unique financial landscape of the childcare industry.
With over 15 years dedicated to the childcare industry, I’ve witnessed firsthand the struggles owners face—confusing accounting terms, scary unexpected tax bills, and the daunting task of managing cash flow, all while providing essential care to our youngest generations.
This wasn’t just a professional observation; it struck a chord deep within me. The standard approach to daycare accounting and childcare tax preparation was leaving too many passionate providers in the dark, burdened by financial uncertainty.
That’s why my team and I have set off

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you help my childcare business if I'm located outside of your state?
Absolutely! We are a virtual accounting practice that serves childcare business owners in all 50 states. Our digital tools and platforms allow us to communicate and collaborate with you no matter where you are located.
How does virtual accounting work for childcare centers?
Our virtual accounting services are designed for ease and efficiency.
We use secure cloud-based accounting software and communication tools to manage your books, offer tax advice, and conduct meetings. You’ll have access to your financials anytime, anywhere, and regular meetings with us can be done through video or phone calls.
What accounting software do you use?
We primarily work with QuickBooks Online, given its versatility and accessibility.
However, we are experienced with various accounting software platforms and can work with what you currently use or help you transition to a system that best suits your childcare business’s needs.
How often will we communicate?
Communication frequency depends on the service package you choose, but you can expect unlimited email support with response times ranging from 2 to 4 business days, based on your tier.
Additionally, we schedule regular meetings (monthly, quarterly, or bi-annually) to review your financials and discuss strategies.
What kind of financial reports will I receive?
You’ll receive comprehensive financial reports including, but not limited to, profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements.
The frequency of these reports will depend on your chosen service package.
Can you help me with tax preparation and planning?
Yes, we specialize in tax services for childcare businesses. This includes annual tax estimation, tax preparation for your business and personal taxes (depending on the package), and strategic planning to minimize your tax liabilities.
What is included in your bookkeeping services?
Our bookkeeping services include transaction categorization, reconciliation of accounts, and the preparation of financial statements.
We also offer budgeting, tax estimation checks, and support for any accounting-related queries you have.
How can I get started with your services?
Starting is easy! Schedule a Discovery Call with our team so we can understand your needs and recommend the best service package for you.
From there, we’ll guide you through the onboarding process.
What happens if I decide to disengage from your services?
We strive to provide top-notch service but understand circumstances change.
If you decide to disengage, we’ll assist with the transition. Note that annual contracts not completed may not include a pro-rated tax return but can be purchased separately.
How are additional meetings billed?
Additional meetings beyond those included in your package can be scheduled for an additional fee.
The cost varies by tier, with some packages offering additional meetings at no extra cost.
What happens on the complimentary discovery call or tax talk call?
Our complimentary discovery calls, or Tax Talk calls, provide a valuable opportunity for us to learn more about your childcare business or personal tax needs.
During these calls, we’ll introduce our range of services tailored for childcare accountants, from tax preparation to strategic planning, and determine the best path forward for our potential partnership.
If you require specific advice or support beyond the introductory discussion, we might suggest scheduling a paid consultation for more in-depth assistance.
Does your firm perform audits for childcare centers?
We do not conduct audits. Specializing in childcare taxes and accounting, our focus is on supporting the growth of your childcare business and helping you build generational wealth, rather than performing audits.
However, we’re equipped to assist you in audit preparation and completion, ensuring you’re ready and compliant without performing the audit ourselves.
Do you work with nonprofit childcare centers?
Absolutely! Our experience with nonprofits, especially in the childcare sector, spans grant reporting and budgeting.
We’re adept at helping nonprofit childcare centers remain compliant and secure continued funding, all while fostering growth and sustainability.
Can you prepare my childcare business's taxes if you didn't handle my accounting?
Yes, we can still prepare your tax return even if we haven’t managed your accounting. To ensure a smooth tax filing process for your childcare business, we recommend beginning with a Childcare Tax Readiness Call.
This step helps us verify that all necessary documentation and information are organized and ready for an accurate and beneficial tax filing.
My spouse and I own different types of businesses. Can you assist us?
Many of our clients entrust us with their broader financial needs due to the quality of our service. We’re more than capable of assisting with various types of businesses, provided they align with our expertise.
Our team is comprised of fully degreed accountants experienced in diverse industries beyond childcare, enabling us to offer comprehensive financial guidance and support.
What if I don't have an organized set of books? Can you still prepare my tax return?
Absolutely. If your books are not up to date, our firm offers catch-up and clean-up accounting services. We ensure your financial records are accurate, allowing us to file your tax returns effectively and maximize your deductions and credits.
Starting with a clean slate guarantees the best possible financial outcome for your childcare business.
