The real problem
Books can balance—and still be wrong.
Your reports may look normal until tax season, a loan application, or a cash-flow squeeze exposes what was missed.
- Deposits don't match sales
- Old balances quietly build up
- Expenses land in the wrong place
- No one explains what changed
I find the problems before they become expensive surprises.
The Four R's
A disciplined close. Every client. Every month.
A memorable process that turns transactions into numbers you can actually use.
Reconcile
Every account proven correct to the dollar, with every difference explained.
Review
Unusual activity and warning signs flagged while there is still time to act.
Report
Clear monthly reports with plain-English context for the person running the business.
A second set of eyes that never blinks
12 additional accuracy tests. Every month.
After the hands-on bookkeeping is done, your books go through a quality-control system I built from 20 years of catching problems. It flags what a tired human eye can miss. I personally investigate every flag.

Experience you can reach
I've spent 20+ years finding what others missed.
I've worked from accounts receivable to accounting management and controller-level responsibility. That experience taught me the difference between books that look finished and books that are truly dependable.
“Money gives you options—and options give you freedom. Clean books are where that starts.”
When you work with MCKI, you work directly with me. I review the details, explain where things stand, and never hide behind accounting language.

Your deposits are not your sales.
Square, Toast, Clover, Shopify, Stripe, and PayPal batch sales, fees, refunds, tips, and payouts. If the clearing accounts are not reconciled, your reports can be wrong even when the bank balance matches. It’s one of the most common problems I find in a new client’s books — and one of the first things I check.

Straight answers
Know the range before we talk.
No two businesses run the same setup, so no two clients pay the same price. What you pay reflects your transaction volume, accounts, platforms, payroll, and the current condition of your books — the ranges below are where most clients land, not fixed rates. You approve your exact number before any work begins.

Frequently asked
Questions before the first call.
Do I have to be in Chino Hills?
No. MCKI serves the Inland Empire, San Gabriel Valley, North Orange County, and businesses remotely throughout California.
What if my books are already behind?
That is common. We first determine what is incomplete or inaccurate, then give you a fixed cleanup scope before any work starts.
Will I work directly with Mike?
Yes. Mike reviews your books and communicates with you directly.
Do you work with my CPA?
Yes. Clean, organized books help your tax professional work efficiently and reduce expensive back-and-forth.
What happens on the free call?
We spend 15 minutes discussing your business and your current bookkeeping. You will get an honest next step—even if that answer is that your books are fine.
One question left
Do your books actually add up?
