What we do, plainly

Monthly Bookkeeping

The core of the practice. Our managed bookkeeping service is built on QuickBooks Online and delivered through the secure Pono Ledger portal. We categorize every transaction, reconcile every account, and close your books on the firm calendar — closed by the 5th, reviewed by the 9th, provided required records arrive by your agreed monthly cutoff (we set it together). Your financial statements arrive in your portal, and a real person who knows your business reviews them before you ever see them.

General Excise Tax Filings

GET is where Hawaiʻi businesses get hurt — usually because their books track net deposits instead of gross receipts, which understates the GET base. Because we keep the books, we file your G-45s and G-49 from numbers that are actually right, on your applicable filing schedule — monthly, quarterly, or semiannual.

Catch-Up & Cleanup

Behind on your books? It's more common than you think, and it's fixable. We rebuild past months from your bank records, statements, and POS reports into books your tax preparer — and your banker — can rely on. Scoped and quoted up front once we've seen what we're working with.

Payroll Coordination

We don't run payroll — we make sure it lands correctly. Wages, employer taxes, benefits, and withholdings from your payroll provider get posted to the right accounts, tied out, and reflected properly in your financials and your GET picture.

POS & Merchant Reconciliation

If you take cards through Toast, Square, Stripe, Clover, or any POS, your bank deposits are net of fees, tips, refunds, and chargebacks — and books built on deposits alone are quietly wrong. We reconcile your POS reporting to your bank, every month, so gross sales, fees, and liabilities are all where they belong.

Business Formation & Compliance Setup

Filing an entity is only the beginning. Our complete $2,500 package combines government filings, EIN and GET registration, a one-hour EA tax consultation, completed organizational records, e-signatures, a custom company book, more than 40 operating-policy templates, an employee handbook, an accountable plan, and QuickBooks Online setup.

Hawaiʻi government formation filing fees and standard shipping within Hawaiʻi are included. Government filing fees charged by other states are additional.
