Freight companies, delivery services, and fleet operators deal with fuel cost volatility, driver payroll, IFTA tracking, and per-mile profitability calculations that most bookkeepers can't handle. We build a clean financial system around your operation so you know exactly what each mile costs and what each route earns.

Whether you're an owner-operator or running a fleet, we build the bookkeeping system around how your operation actually runs.
Owner-operators and fleet operators — fuel, maintenance, IFTA, and load-by-load profitability are the core financial demands of a trucking business.
Last-mile delivery, courier fleets, and same-day delivery businesses — high volume, vehicle-heavy, and route-dependent. Know your cost per stop.
Third-party logistics providers with warehouse operations, carrier relationships, and multi-client billing need a bookkeeper who can handle operational complexity.
Transportation businesses face financial challenges that general bookkeepers routinely miss. Here's what we hear from nearly every new client.
Fuel cards, cash purchases, multiple vehicles — keeping track of fuel expenses across a fleet and allocating them correctly to each truck or route is a constant challenge.
Load revenue is easy to see. But after fuel, driver pay, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation — what does each mile actually cost? Without that number, pricing is guesswork.
Fuel tax reporting across state lines is complex and the penalties for inaccurate filing are significant. We track every fuel purchase and mile by jurisdiction so your IFTA filing is always accurate.
Per-mile pay, layover pay, per diem, and fuel bonuses — driver compensation has more variables than almost any other industry. Payroll errors create compliance risks and trust issues with your drivers.
Every Tides plan includes all seven core services. Transportation clients get specific treatment for IFTA tracking, fuel expense allocation, and per-vehicle cost reporting.
Every account reconciled, every transaction categorized, every month — without exception. You receive a clean P&L and balance sheet you can actually understand and use to make decisions.
Monthly reports that show your income, expenses, and profit — so you always know where you stand.
Every business account and credit card matched and verified each month. No mystery charges. No unresolved transactions. No surprises.
We track vendor bills and outstanding invoices so your cash flow stays healthy and nothing gets missed or paid twice.
Months or years behind? We clean it all up before we start your regular monthly service — no matter how far back the backlog goes.
If you have team members, we coordinate payroll processing and keep your tax filings clean and on schedule.
“We finally know what each truck costs us per mile. That number alone changed how we price our loads and bid on contracts.”
