General Questions

Can I get just bookkeeping, or does it come with everything else?

Athena runs on one connected relationship rather than a menu of separate services, so your bookkeeping, tax filing, and tax planning all work together under one roof.

If you're only looking for one piece to start, tell us where you are and we'll talk through what makes sense for your situation.

Can I switch to Athena in the middle of the year?

Yes. Most clients come to us mid-year, not at a clean calendar-year start.

We begin by getting caught up on whatever's already in place before moving into regular ongoing work, so switching mid-year is normal, not a problem.

Do you work with businesses that have more than one line of revenue?

Yes. We tag and track by line of business so you can see which parts of your business are truly profitable, not just a single combined number.

How do I get started with Athena?

Start with a conversation. We talk through your business, where your books and taxes currently stand, and what you need help with.

From there, we put together a plan and get you onboarded, starting with organizing whatever is already in place before moving into regular monthly work.

How is this different from doing my own bookkeeping in QuickBooks?

QuickBooks is the tool. Someone still has to reconcile it every month and catch mistakes before they turn into a tax problem.

Most business owners who try to handle it themselves fall behind within a few months, not because the software is hard, but because it's not the best use of their time.

How much does bookkeeping cost?

It depends on your transaction volume and how complex your books are. Rather than post a number that doesn't apply to your specific situation, we'd rather look at your business first and give you a straight answer on a call.

How quickly can I expect a response when I have a question?

Same day, in most cases. Being easy to reach is one of the specific things Athena is built around, since it's the most common complaint business owners have about their previous accountant.

Is Athena a good fit for a brand new business?

Yes. A lot of the value in working with Athena comes from setting things up right from the start, your entity structure, your bookkeeping system, and your tax strategy, instead of fixing mistakes later.

If you're just getting started, that's often the easiest time for us to help.

What if my books are already a mess?

That's a common starting point, not a special project. We clean up backlogged reconciliations and fix a disorganized chart of accounts before moving into regular monthly upkeep.

What makes Athena different from a typical accountant?

Most accountants get overloaded, take on too many clients, and become too busy to pay attention to any one business. Every owner we've talked to has the same complaint about their previous accountant.

Athena is built to stay available year-round, not just during tax season, and to run your bookkeeping, tax filing, and tax planning as one connected relationship instead of three separate vendors.

What's included in bookkeeping?

Monthly reconciliation of your bank and credit card accounts, categorization, and financial reports delivered on a set schedule.

If your books are already behind, we start with cleanup before moving into regular monthly maintenance.

How do I start my remodel?

What payment options are available?

How do I get in touch?

Call, email, or use our contact form. We’re here to help and usually reply the same day.

Can I change or cancel my project?

Yes, you can make changes or cancel anytime before work begins. Just let us know.

Still need help? We’re happy to chat.
