If most of this describes your business, we're built for you.
Direct access to the owner. No rotating cast, no ticket queue.
A portal and reports built around how your business actually runs.
We build our own tools and automate the manual work. Faster closes, fewer errors.
Every account reconciled monthly. Every anomaly flagged. You know what's behind every number.
Scoped fee, agreed upfront. No hourly clock, no surprise invoices.
Encrypted vault, MFA required, view-only bank access. We never touch your money.
Knockout Books was built by an operator, not an accounting firm. Over the last decade I've held accounting and operations leadership roles at home-service and property management companies, working directly with owners on the books, the process, and the reporting that runs the business.
That experience shaped what Knockout Books is. Someone who's built the systems from inside the business, not outside it. Someone who knows what matters to an owner running the shop. Someone who picks up when you call.

Books you can trust, closed on time, every month.
The full finance department. Reporting you can steer the business with.
Not in scope: tax, payroll, 1099s, sales tax, AP payments, audit, legal or investment advice. Your CPA and attorney handle those. We coordinate.
We look at where your books are today, what's slowing you down, and whether we're the right fit.
We get into your books, review where things stand, and agree on a plan tailored to your business.
We clean up any items that need attention, sync in the necessary tools, and flag anything that needs your input.
Books closed on time. Reports finalized and delivered to your portal. Monthly review call for Custom clients. Same rhythm every month.
Full-cycle accounting, not just transaction categorization. Custom reports built around how you actually run your business.
You'd swap a single bookkeeper for a full finance function - industry-specific reporting, senior oversight, and lower cost than a full-time hire.
No. We produce clean, closed books each month. Your CPA handles taxes, and we coordinate with them directly.
We'll quote a cleanup after a short review. Fixed fee, no surprises. Once it's clean, we roll into the normal monthly rhythm.
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.
No. View-only access to your bank and card accounts, always. We record activity in QBO, we never move funds.
Yes. Knockout Books is built for growing companies. As your revenue and complexity grow, the reporting, support, and horsepower grow with you.
Yes, on request. Standard mutual NDA before any sensitive information is shared.
Month-to-month. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice. Invoiced on the 1st of each month.
We'll look at where your books are today, what's slowing you down, and whether we're the right fit.
