Where are you located and what areas do you serve?
Premier Bookkeeping LLC is headquartered in Apache Junction, Arizona, but our reach is nationwide. We leverage secure, high-level cloud accounting solutions to provide seamless, real-time support to small businesses, freelancers, and contractors across the country.
While our physical roots are in the Southwest, our virtual-first model allows us to partner with clients in every time zone. Whether you are around the corner or across the coast, you receive the same dedicated, professional oversight and secure data management.
How long have you been in business?
Premier Bookkeeping LLC was established in 2016 and has provided bookkeeping and tax services since that time.
How do you price your services?
Pricing is tailored based on transaction volume, payroll complexity, need for cleanup or catchup, and reporting requirements. After a discovery call, we provide a transparent proposal with fixed or retainer pricing.
Bookkeeping & cleanup questions
What is bookkeeping cleanup and when is it required?
Cleanup is a focused effort to reconcile historical accounts, correct misclassifications, and ensure prior periods accurately reflect financial activity. It’s required when books have been neglected, produce inconsistent reports, or when preparing for tax filing or loan applications.
How long will a cleanup take?
Typical cleanup projects vary from 2–8 weeks depending on backlog, transaction volume, and the number of reconciliations needed. We provide timelines during scoping.
Can you continue with ongoing bookkeeping after cleanup?
Yes — most clients transition from cleanup to monthly bookkeeping services to maintain accuracy and prevent future backlog.
QuickBooks Online questions
Do you support QuickBooks Desktop?
We specialize in QuickBooks Online but can convert QuickBooks Desktop files and assist with cleanup post-migration.
How secure is QuickBooks Online?
QuickBooks Online uses industry-standard cloud security. We add secure file sharing, password management best practices, and limited user permissions to further protect your data.
Payroll questions
Do you process payroll and file payroll taxes?
Yes — we handle payroll processing, direct deposit setup, payroll tax deposits, employer filings, and year-end W-2/1099 preparation.
How do you handle payroll for multi-state employees?
We analyze employee locations, payroll tax withholding requirements, and state registration needs. Complex multi-state payrolls may require additional setup and advisory coordination with payroll tax specialists.
Tax questions
Do you prepare taxes?
Yes — we prepare personal, business, and corporate tax returns, provide tax projections, and coordinate with your CPA for final filings if needed.
What documents do you need for tax preparation?
W-2s, 1099s, statements of interest and dividends, mortgage and property tax statements, expense documentation, business income records, payroll reports, and any prior-year tax returns.
Security and confidentiality
How do you protect my financial data?
We use secure file transfer protocols, encrypted storage, restricted access, and follow confidentiality best practices. Our processes aim to minimize exposure and ensure compliance with data protection standards.
Operational questions
How do I get started?
Call (602) 877-1450 for a discovery call. We’ll assess your needs and provide a proposal including timeline and pricing.
What if I want to keep some bookkeeping in-house?
We offer flexible models: full-service outsourced bookkeeping, hybrid support where we handle complex items, or training and advisory so your staff can perform day-to-day tasks.
Advice and planning
How often should I review financial statements?
Monthly is ideal for most businesses to monitor cash flow and make timely decisions. Some businesses benefit from weekly dashboards or daily sales reconciliation depending on volume.
When should I start tax planning?
Year-round. Early planning reduces surprises and allows more options for tax-saving strategies, such as retirement plan contributions or strategic expense timing.
