01The problem

Most trade owners inherit a bookkeeper, not a finance partner. You get transactions in QBO and a P&L that technically ties out but doesn't tell you what to do.

Knockout Books is the answer. Boutique, owner-led, obsessive about the details. Real reporting built around how your business actually runs, and a person in your corner who picks up when you call.

06About

Built by an operator, for operators.

Knockout Books was built on operator experience: years running the books, operations, and financial reporting for home-service and property management businesses, plus firsthand time as the founder of multiple service businesses. It's the kind of finance partner most trade owners wish they had. Honest pricing, real reporting, and someone who actually understands what it takes to run the business.

07FAQ

Frequently asked.

How is this different from a bookkeeper?

Full-cycle accounting, not just transaction categorization. Custom reports built around how you actually run your business.

I already have a bookkeeper. What would you do differently?

Lower cost than an in-house hire, with more capability. Real reporting, more oversight, and a firm that specializes in your industry.

Do you replace my CPA?

No. We produce clean, closed books each month. Your CPA handles taxes, and we coordinate with them directly.

What if my books are a total mess?

We'll quote a cleanup after a short review. Fixed fee, no surprises. Once it's clean, we roll into the normal monthly rhythm.

How do you protect our financial data?

Every credential lives in an encrypted password vault. Never in spreadsheets, docs, or shared logins. Individual accounts, MFA required, and view-only access to your bank and cards wherever possible.

Do you touch our money?

No. View-only access to your bank and card accounts, always. We record activity in QBO, we never move funds.

Can you scale with us as we grow?

Yes. Knockout Books is built for growing companies. As your revenue and complexity grow, the reporting, support, and horsepower grow with you.

Can you sign an NDA?

Yes, on request. Standard mutual NDA before any sensitive information is shared.

What's the contract look like?

Month-to-month. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice. Invoiced on the 1st of each month.
