Bookkeeping cleanup · Free if you fit all three · San Antonio & remote

You cannot plan taxes on books you do not trust. Every month behind is a month nobody could plan for.

Behind on your books? You're not doomed. You're just behind.

We clean up your books back to January 1, 2025. Done for you. Your bookkeeping is free when three things are true: you run under 20 transactions a month, we file your tax return, and at 30 days you record a short video telling us how it went. More going on than that? We look at your books and give you a real number on the call.

  • We do the work. You just upload your statements to Basecamp.
  • Cleaned up and tax-ready in 30 days, or we credit you a month
  • Done by a real tax firm, so your books are ready for the return

Free needs all three: under 20 transactions a month, we file your return, and a short video at 30 days. Everyone else is quoted on the call.

How much does your business make a year?

Tap one. We'll take you straight to the short form.

Free 15-minute call. No pressure. No spam.

  • Same day we reply in Basecamp. No more getting ghosted.
  • Done for you you upload statements, we do the rest in Kick.
  • 30 days to caught up and tax-ready, or we credit you a month.
  • 5 a month new cleanups we take on. Then we are full.

Why owners switch to us

We're not your cheap, do-whatever-you-say bookkeeper.

We keep your books in black and white. So when it's time to file, or you need to be loan-ready, everything is immaculate. No guessing. No cut corners.

  • We do it right, not just what you ask.

    You're paying for expert judgment, not a yes-man. If something looks wrong, we tell you, and we fix it the correct way.

  • Real experts, same or next day.

    When you have a question, a real person answers. Usually the same day, the next day at the latest.

  • Built for taxes and lenders.

    Clean books mean a clean return and numbers a bank will trust. No April scramble, no red flags.

  • Step one of your Tax Story Match™.

    First we match your bank to your books. Until those two line up, your tax return is built on guesses. Bookkeeping is the foundation everything else stands on.

This is premium, expert-level bookkeeping. Done by people who actually pick up the phone.

If this sounds like you

You already know you're behind. The hard part is opening it back up.

These are the things business owners tell us before their first cleanup. If you feel any of them, you're exactly who this is for.

I've been avoiding my books for months. Now I'm scared to even open them.

The avoidance most owners feel

They were three months behind on my books. What am I even paying for?

Months behind, still paying the invoice

Boxes of receipts and no idea where to start.

Personal and business, all mixed together

I paid someone good money to file my taxes, and they just ghosted me. It was a nightmare.

Ghosted by the last firm

I'm scared that when I go to file I'll have so many fees.

The fear of what tax time will cost

Honestly, I wouldn't even know where to start.

The paralysis of a blank page

Here's the truth: it's not a disaster. It's a cleanup project. We go back to January 2025, and it costs nothing when you run under 20 transactions a month, we file your return, and you send us a short video at 30 days.
Real owners, real reviews

You won't be left in the dark again.

The number one thing behind-on-their-books owners fear is getting ghosted again. Here's what ours actually say.

These guys are amazing. Super responsive. Super knowledgeable. Super effective at crafting a tax strategy that solves existing problems and proactively plans to account for expected future conditions. Best accountants/tax consultants I've used by a wide margin.

Leury A. Google review

I'm a small business owner who has several businesses but knows little about taxes. This can be a scary position. Elevated Tax Strategies took the time to educate me and walk me through every step. A trusted partner for small business owners.

From buried to caught up

Same books. Two very different feelings.

Before
  • Months of statements, nothing sorted
  • Personal and business money all mixed together
  • No real idea what you made or what you owe
  • Dreading what tax time is going to cost
After
  • Every transaction sorted and reconciled
  • Personal pulled cleanly out of the business
  • Real numbers, updated every month
  • Books that are ready for the return
Who this is for

This is for you if…

The Clean Books Reset is built for business owners who are behind and want it handled, not coached.

  • You are months or years behind and the pile keeps growing.
  • Your personal and business money got mixed together and you don't know where to start.
  • Your last bookkeeper went quiet and left you stuck.
  • Tax season is coming and you are scared of what you'll owe.
  • A bank or lender needs current books and yours aren't ready.
  • You just want it off your plate and handled by people who won't judge the mess.

Who handles your books

You'll work with a real person who answers.

I'm Ramon, and I lead the team that cleans up and runs your books. You won't get a login and silence. When you message us in Basecamp, you hear back, usually the same day.

The number one thing our clients say is that we actually respond. After getting ghosted by their last bookkeeper, that's the part that matters most to them. It's the whole point of how we work.

We do not nickel and dime you on transactions or accounts. If your business grows past the free line, we will tell you before it changes anything, not after.

Everything runs on Kick, the bookkeeping app we set up with you. You pay for Kick and the account is in your name, so your books are always yours. Have more than one business or need payroll? Book a free call and we will build it around you.

How to claim it · 3 steps

Getting started takes about 15 minutes.

It starts with a quick 15-minute call. We tell you where you land, then set everything up, then you upload your statements to Basecamp and we take it from there.

  1. Step 01

    Get on a short call

    We look at your books together and tell you where you stand. Your bookkeeping is free if all three fit: under 20 transactions a month, we file your tax return, and you record a short video at 30 days. If you have more going on than that, we give you a real number on the call, based on your actual books. You set up Kick, the app your books live in, and you keep it. Your books stay yours.

  2. Step 02

    Upload your statements to Basecamp

    We set you up with a private Basecamp project. Drop in every bank statement, every credit card statement, and your asset papers. Nothing to email. Add them as you find them. Basecamp is your private workspace. Only you and your ETS team can see it.

  3. Step 03

    We catch up your books in Kick

    We do the work in Kick, back to January 2025, and keep your books current every month. After you send the statements, we handle the rest. At 30 days we ask you to record a short video about how it went. On the free plan that is the only thing we ask in return.

Before you start

Straight answers to what everyone asks.

What does this cost?

Free needs all three: under 20 transactions a month, we file your tax return, and a short video at 30 days. If any of those does not fit, every business is a different amount of work, so we look at your books first and give you a real number on the call. No big upfront payment and no separate cleanup bill, ever.

Is it really free?

Yes, when you fit. Three things have to be true: you have under 20 transactions a month, we file your tax return, and at 30 days you record a short video telling us how it went. That is the whole trade. We would rather do great books for you and earn the return than sell you a small monthly bill.

What's the catch?

No hidden catch. Here it is plain. Free needs three things: under 20 transactions a month, we file your tax return, and a short video at 30 days. You pay for Kick, the app your books live in, which is yours and stays yours. You upload statements to a private Basecamp folder. That is the whole deal.

Am I locked in?

No. There is no contract and no minimum. Leave whenever you want and your books go with you, because the Kick account is in your name. The only ask on the free plan is the short video at 30 days.

I use QuickBooks or Xero. Do I have to switch, and will it break anything?

Yes, we run every client in Kick and nothing else. One system on purpose: it is how we get fast and stay careful. We handle the whole switch. You do not move data or set anything up. Share your current login so we can pull the history, and we do the heavy part. You pay for Kick and the account is yours.

My setup is messy and I don't have every statement. Can you still do it?

Yes. Several accounts, more than one business, missing months, that's normal here. Send what you have, and if a statement is missing we help you pull it from the bank. The messy ones are our favorite.

My books are a total mess. Will you judge me?

No. That is exactly who this is for. We have seen worse. The messier it is, the more it helps to hand it to us. You are not doomed. You are just behind.

What about years before 2025?

We can do those too. Older years take more work, so they cost a little extra. We'll look at what you have on the call and give you a clear number before anything starts.

How fast will my books be done?

Once we have your bank and card statements, and we'll tell you exactly which ones we need, we clean up January 2025 through today within 30 days, or we credit you a full month of bookkeeping.

What if I'm not happy?

After your first clean month, if you don't feel your books are in better hands than ever, we make it right or refund that month.

Get caught up

Grab your free 15-minute call.

We'll look at where you are, answer your questions, and map your cleanup. On the call we tell you whether you fit all three conditions for free bookkeeping, and if you do not, you get a real number right there. No judgment, no pressure.

We reach out fast, usually within a few minutes during business hours. No spam, ever.
