Month-end close and daily bookkeeping

Bank and credit card reconciliations, accruals, prepaids, fixed assets and a documented close, with financial statements you can hand to an investor or your CPA.

Ad-hoc and cleanup

Months behind, or books that never quite tie out? Get reconciled, recategorized and tax-ready, then roll straight into a monthly close.

Accounts payable and receivable

Bill entry and weekly payment runs, vendor management, invoicing, AR aging and collections follow-up, so cash goes out on time and comes in on time.

About

Hi, I'm Cody.

I've spent over a decade in accounting, both in-house at companies like Korres and Lyft and managing the books for several clients at once, first for nonprofits and now at Advice Period, where I manage the books for five family-office clients. At Korres, I led a close transformation that cut month-end from 10 days to 5 across two subsidiaries.

Very Good Ledgers brings that same rigor to small and growing businesses that aren't ready for a full-time accountant yet. I'm based in San Francisco and work with clients remotely.
