About McBooks
Until you need a full-time bookkeeper, you need McBooks!
Chances are, you started your business or joined a nonprofit to do what you love to do -- not because you love to do accounting. Thankfully, McBooks is staffed with people who love accounting, organization, workflow and order.
Why pay for full time bookkeeping services you don’t need? Your dedicated McBooks bookkeeper is always a phone call away. We work remotely and exchange files through a secure courier service.
Focus on your job while never losing sight of your finances.

McBooks For Business
No matter how small your business, lost receipts and unpaid invoices can add up to a big mess if you don’t stay up on your accounting. McBooks has a proven accounting system that’s easy to learn, easy to manage and way more affordable than handing over a shoebox of paperwork to an accountant.
The McBooks Box takes up little desktop space, yet it becomes the financial hub where all receipts, bills, invoices and tax forms go.
Receipts
Whenever you buy something, write a simple code on it and file it in the box. McBooks always includes your latest code list inside your box. Need to add a code? It’s a snap.
Using this system, McBooks will:
- Track purchases to individual client projects
- Provide back-up when billing your clients for these expenses
- Reconcile receipts with your monthly credit card statement
- Ensure all checks and credit/debit receipts are recorded so you don’t miss any tax deductions
Taxes
Why pay your CPA to comb through your finances? McBooks makes their job easier which saves you money. We will:
- 1099 all eligible vendors and sub-contractors to avoid annual penalties
- Prepare State and City excise and sales taxes monthly or quarterly or annually
- Prepare W-2s annually
- Prepare and electronically file and pay all payroll reports and payroll taxes (monthly or quarterly)
Plus, our monthly financial statements and year-end financial statements provides an at-a-glance look at your income with all of your income and deductions information exactly where your CPA needs it.
Payroll
McBooks can easily handle your payroll.
- Send us your approved timesheets and we will process direct deposit paychecks (recommended) or cut physical checks for you to sign and distribute
- If you use a payroll service, we can post payroll records to your books using their summary reports
Income
McBooks ensures your deposited checks get logged and tracked -- by client, project or category.
- We can reflect customer deposits and payments on their upcoming invoices.
Bill Payments
McBooks ensures your bills get paid on time. The happier your vendors are, the happier your clients will be.
- Place all of the bills you paid into one folder -- note the check number on each one and we will enter payment into the system.
- Place all of the bills you need to pay into another folder -- we will log them and either pay electronically or cut checks for you to sign.
All you need to do is prepare your box for its scheduled pick-up; we’ll handle the rest!
McBooks For Nonprofits
Charities are held to many of the same responsibilities and accounting practices as businesses -- and the bottom line is equally important. McBooks knows the ins and outs of nonprofit bookkeeping and will keep your organization on the right track.

Become a McBooks Client
McBooks is currently accepting applications for new clients.
Not every potential client is a good fit for the McBooks system. Some require the extra attention of a part time bookkeeper that visits your office and works with you in person. Some require a full time, in-house bookkeeper.
If you’re a small to medium size business or nonprofit organization, you can save a lot of time, money and stress by managing your books the proven McBooks Way!
A Good McBooks Client must:
Honor the scheduled activity window:
- Your deadline is your scheduled Courier Pickup
- You hit your deadline; we’ll hit ours -- every time!
Commit to a two-year contract:
- We’ll invest in you, learn your business inside and out, and come up with innovative, cost-saving solutions to your bookkeeping needs.
- Once you learn our system, you’ll realize there is no easier way to manage your finances.
- Most clients have been with McBooks for years or even decades!

Remember this:
- Bookkeepers are not CPAs -- CPAs are not bookkeepers
