You didn't start your business to wrestle with QuickBooks at midnight.
Yet here you are — buried in receipts, worried about cash flow, making gut decisions because your numbers are three months old.
There's a better way. One where your books are always current, your numbers always clear, and you actually understand what they mean.
Sound familiar?
These are the exact problems your peers told us about before working with Balanex.
Your struggle:
Making big decisions on outdated numbers
Our fix:
Weekly updates so you always know where you stand
Your struggle:
Scrambling for documents at tax time
Our fix:
Everything organized and CPA-ready year-round
Your struggle:
Wondering if you can afford that equipment

Your struggle:
Not knowing your true profit margins

You're not alone. Every business owner faces these challenges — but not every business owner has to keep facing them.
Your CPA will thank you (seriously)
We know you have a CPA. We're not trying to replace them — we make their job easier and save you money on tax prep.
What your CPA gets from us:
- Clean, reconciled books every month
- Proper categorization matching tax codes
- Supporting docs attached and organized
- No year-end scramble or cleanup
- Quick responses to their questions
What this means for you:
- Lower tax prep fees (less cleanup)
- No surprise tax bills (quarterly planning)
- Audit-ready books all year
- Tax strategies based on accurate numbers
- More time for growth, less on paperwork
"My CPA actually called to say how organized everything was. First time that's ever happened."— Marcus A., BlueLine Staffing
Why your books will finally make sense
I'm Jonathan. I've spent 27+ years turning financial chaos into clarity — and I'll do the same for you.
Before Balanex, I managed accounting from Series B to IPO. Handled payroll for 2,500+ employees. Worked at Intuit. Been a QuickBooks ProAdvisor since 1997.
What this means for you: Your complexity doesn't intimidate me. That mess from three years ago? I'll have it sorted in hours. Multi-state payroll? Been there, fixed that.
But here's what really matters: I translate numbers into decisions. You won't get a P&L with no context. You'll get "Here's what made money, here's what didn't, and here's what to do about it."
People call me the "reconciliation king" — but I'd rather be known as the person who finally made your numbers make sense.
