"Part of Our Team—Not Just a Vendor"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"System Six is an essential part of the success of our business. They're trustworthy, responsive, and knowledgeable. They feel like part of our team, not just a faceless third-party vendor. I've referred many other entrepreneurs to them because they actually care about your success."

"I Delegate Everything—They Handle It All"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I can delegate all bookkeeping, payables, receivables, tax preparation, projected budgeting, and monthly financial reporting over to them. They work with my CPA directly so all I have to do is review and approve. I don't want to run my business without them and neither should you."

Business Owner (Yelp Review)

Is your financial back office holding you back?
The Three Problems That Keep Consulting Firm Owners Up at Night
PROBLEM #1
Generic Providers Who Don't Get Consulting
AccountingDepartment.com sells you a full corporate accounting department — controller oversight, separation of duties protocols, layers of staff hierarchy. It’s impressive infrastructure. But for a 30-person consulting firm, it’s like hiring a Fortune 500 CFO to manage your checkbook.
- Paying for layers of oversight your firm doesn’t need yet
- Processes designed for companies five times your size
- Monthly costs that rival a full-time senior hire
- Processes and reporting built for corporate complexity, not consulting agility
The cost:
Thousands per month on infrastructure that’s overkill for your firm, with rigid processes that actually slow you down.
PROBLEM #2
The Vendor Juggling Act
Some firms sell you the full corporate accounting playbook. The problem? Your consulting firm doesn’t need one.
- A layered staff hierarchy at prices built for much larger companies
- Rigid internal controls and approval workflows you don’t need
- Your CPA still operates separately with minimal integration
- Extra layers of oversight that add cost but not clarity
- The system is built for corporate finance, not consulting-firm agility
The cost:
When you’re overpaying for infrastructure, every dollar spent on financial overhead is a dollar not spent on winning clients or hiring talent.
PROBLEM #3
The Compliance Anxiety That Never Goes Away
Paying premium prices doesn’t make compliance anxiety go away:
- Am I paying for services I don’t actually need?
- Could I get the same compliance coverage for half the cost?
- What happens when my firm outgrows — or never grows into — this level of service?
- Is this enterprise model actually making my firm more agile, or less?
The cost:
Mental bandwidth you could be using to grow your firm, wasted on wondering whether you’re overpaying for a model that doesn’t fit your business.
Here's the thing:
You didn't build your consulting practice to manage vendors, chase paperwork, or lie awake wondering about tax deadlines.
There's a better way—and it starts with having one team that handles everything.

Quick Answers
Can you fix our past mess?
→ Absolutely. We specialize in catch-up bookkeeping. Whether you're 6 months behind or 2 years behind, we'll reconstruct your records, reconcile everything, and get you current—typically within 4-8 weeks depending on how messy things are. We've seen worse than whatever you've got, promise.
How fast can you start?
→ Most clients are fully onboarded within 2-3 weeks. Week 1: We audit your current setup and identify what needs fixing. Weeks 2-3: We clean up the backlog and take over your ongoing bookkeeping. By week 4, you're getting monthly financials without lifting a finger.
Do you work with our CPA?
→ Yes, and they'll love us for it. We provide your CPA with organized, accurate, reconciled books that make tax prep faster and easier. Many of our clients come from CPA referrals because we reduce their workload. We coordinate directly with your tax preparer so you don't have to play middleman.
If you’re not fully happy with your current tax partner, we can help too by serving you with our fantastic in house tax team. They'll coordinate directly with our bookkeeping team and make for a seamless relationship for all of your finance and tax needs.
What if we're already using QuickBooks?
→ Perfect. We work in your existing QuickBooks Online file—no need to start over. We'll audit your current setup, fix any categorization issues, clean up your chart of accounts, and take over from there. If you're on QuickBooks Desktop, we can migrate you to QuickBooks Online as part of onboarding.
Do you handle both W-2 employees and 1099 contractors?
→ Yes. We track both, ensure proper classification (important for IRS compliance), and handle all the reporting requirements. At year-end, we prepare your 1099-NECs and W-2s on time. For consulting firms with lots of 1099 contractors, this alone saves you 10+ hours every January
Can you track project profitability?
→ Basic bookkeeping tracks your overall revenue and expenses. If you need project-level profitability (which many firms do), we can absolutely do it. We set up class/location tracking in QuickBooks to give you visibility by client or project, and we can also build deeper profitability reports that include labor costs and allocations.
We’re happy to provide full project-level profitability tracking — it just comes at an additional cost.
Can you help us get ready for an audit or due diligence?
→ Yes. We provide audit-ready books with full documentation, proper accrual accounting, and organized supporting records. If you're preparing for financing, acquisition, or investor due diligence, we can work with your auditors directly and provide everything they need.
