Full Charge Bookkeeping

+ Payroll Services

Serving Oregon’s North Coast

Every business is a little different and has different bookkeeping needs.

If you know what yours are, great! I’m a big fan of not re-inventing the wheel if it’s not necessary.

I’ve worked with a variety of hospitality companies, from resorts to restaurants and catering to seafood companies, small medical companies, self-employed and home based businesses, and unusually organized businesses such as a mobile sauna business. I’ve tracked finances for construction projects and small construction companies.

I typically work in Quickbooks Online, but also have experience with Xero, Wave and Freshbooks. We will figure out what’s best if you’re just starting out.

If you’re new to your business or haven’t had the best experience in the past, we’ll work together to set up the most efficient system to keep you doing what you love while your finances are tidy and running smoothly.

I live in Astoria, Oregon and can work on-site at your location in the Astoria/Warrenton area, though the majority of my work is completed remotely. I have clients located nationally, and also locally here on the North Coast of Oregon and in Southwest Washington.

Bookkeeping services are available for personal and small to medium sized business finances:

• Accounts Payable: Tracking incoming bills, bill pay, setting up vendors and subcontractors, getting overdue bills onto a payments schedule.
• Accounts Receivable: Invoicing clients and customers, bank deposits, getting unpaid invoices cleaned up.
• Monthly Bank Account Reconciliation: Checking, savings, and credit card account reconciliation done each month.
• Financial Statements: P&Ls, balance sheets and custom reports that will help you understand the state of your business and directions for the future.
• Payroll Processing: Weekly or monthly payroll, end-of-year tax forms for employees and contractors, monthly/quarterly tax reporting for local, state, and federal reporting.
• Tax Prep: Monthly, quarterly submissions for payroll, quarterly sales and biz taxes, quarterly estimated payments. I’ll make sure your books are ready for your CPA at the beginning of tax season.
• Books Clean Up: Don’t be shy about reaching out if you’ve never had a bookkeeper or had one or several that didn’t work out. I can untangle the mess!

And while it goes without saying, all communication and work is confidential.

About Molly Morrissey:

If you are looking for an accurate and trustworthy bookkeeper on the North Coast of Oregon, or for fully remote accounts nationally, you’ll also find me to be a willing ally as you grapple with the myriad business decisions that come up for any business owner.

While bookkeeping has been my focus over the several years, it’s been woven into broader client tasks over the last nine. I’ve also done my own books through almost twenty years of business ownership. During this time I’ve worked on all phases of the accounting cycle, including a full untangling of the books for two medium sized hospitality and food companies.

Math was always my favorite subject and it’s surprising to think I’ve finally come fully to bookkeeping after all of these years, now the happiest I could be in my professional life. Sometimes the road has a few twists and turns! After increasing my bookkeeping client list, I figured I better get some schooling to learn best accounting practices. I maintained a 4.0 GPA through several Portland Community College bookkeeping and accounting classes.

While I can pretty safely say I’m one of the most detailed people you’ll have ever worked with, I also bring good communication and strong values to the table. I have a Master’s Degree as a systems counselor and had a coaching company for many years where I worked with business owners to improve their understanding of and style of decision making. I also earned an undergraduate degree in architecture, having worked in that field for about eight years and several more years in the maritime industry, having attained my 100 ton Captain’s License while running a boat up in Western Alaska for several seasons. While I lived in Seattle for most of my life, my husband, feline buddy, and I now call Astoria, Oregon home.
