Whether you're a freelancer, coach, or creative professional — we build clean, simple bookkeeping around how your business actually works.
Writers, designers, developers, photographers, and other skilled professionals who invoice clients for their time and work. Clean books mean clean taxes.
Business coaches, life coaches, fitness trainers, and consultants who sell programs, sessions, and retainers. Track your income and know exactly what you're keeping.
Photographers, videographers, designers, and artists who run project-based businesses with variable income and equipment-heavy operations.
Solo business owners face unique financial challenges. Here's what we hear from nearly every new client.
Running business expenses through a personal account is the number one bookkeeping mistake solo business owners make. It costs you at tax time and makes your books useless for decisions.
Self-employment tax is 15.3% on top of income tax — and it's due four times a year. Without tracking your income monthly, the quarterly bill always feels like a surprise.
Home office, phone, internet, subscriptions, equipment, mileage, professional development — solopreneurs have dozens of deductions that go unclaimed without organized records.
Pulling together a year of receipts, transactions, and invoices in April is stressful and expensive. Monthly bookkeeping makes tax season a non-event.
Every Tides plan includes all seven core services, scaled to fit your size and volume. Solo entrepreneurs get simple, affordable bookkeeping without the overhead.
Every account reconciled, every transaction categorized, every month — without exception. Simple, clean financials that keep you organized and tax-ready all year long.
Monthly reports that show your income, expenses, and profit — simple and clear, without the complexity you don't need.
Every business account and credit card matched and verified each month. No mystery charges. No unresolved transactions. No surprises.
We track client invoices and outstanding payments so your cash flow stays healthy and you always know what you're owed.
Behind on your books? We get you current no matter how far back the backlog goes — before we start monthly service.
We set up and manage your QuickBooks Online account — so you always have clean, organized financial records you own and control.
