904 Bookkeeping

About 904 Bookkeeping

904 Bookkeeping is a Jacksonville, Florida-based freelance bookkeeping and QuickBooks consulting practice serving small to mid-sized businesses across Florida. The practice is operated by Jennie, a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor with 15+ years of experience across both public and private sector accounting environments. It is a solo or very small independent operation, not a large BPO firm, but for the right buyer (small business owners who need expert QuickBooks support without hiring full-time staff), it covers a well-defined and genuinely useful set of services. The core offering is freelance digital bookkeeping, delivered remotely or on-site depending on the client's preference. Services span the full QuickBooks ecosystem: QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop (Basic, Pro, Premier, and Enterprise Solutions), QuickBooks Payments, and QuickBooks Payroll. Practically speaking, this means Jennie can set up a chart of accounts from scratch, clean up months or years of messy transaction data, handle monthly reconciliations, code transactions, manage bank feeds, and produce financial reports on a regular cadence. Clients who have let their books fall behind, or who inherited a broken setup from a previous bookkeeper, are a natural fit for the cleanup service specifically. Payroll handling is a distinct service line. The practice covers filing of federal, state, and local payroll taxes, as well as annual payroll tax form preparation. For small businesses running payroll through QuickBooks, this is a practical add-on that keeps the tax compliance side in sync with the bookkeeping, reducing the cleanup burden on the CPA at tax time, which is a recurring theme in client testimonials. Training is the third pillar. Jennie holds credentials as an Educator/Trainer and Independent QuickBooks Training Professional and can teach business owners or their staff how to code transactions correctly, pull and interpret reports, configure bank feeds, and choose the right QuickBooks plan. This is worth noting for buyers who want to build internal capability rather than outsource indefinitely. The training and the done-for-you service are offered as separate options, so a client could start with cleanup, move to training, and eventually handle day-to-day bookkeeping internally with periodic consulting. Recognition includes the Top 25 Up-N-Coming ProAdvisor Award from Insightful Accountant for 2023, 2024, and 2025, three consecutive years. This award is specific to the QuickBooks ProAdvisor community and suggests consistent peer recognition, though buyers should weigh it as one signal rather than a primary selection criterion. Credentials on file include Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor Online, Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor Payroll, Intuit QuickBooks Certified User (Desktop), and completion of an IRS Approved Income Tax Course. She also holds a Florida Notary Public commission, which can be relevant for document-heavy clients in real estate or legal. Industries served span a wide range: insurance and brokerage, legal, medical and dental, real estate, construction and contractors, restaurants, retail, automotive, financial services, franchises, and several others. The breadth suggests a generalist bookkeeping practice rather than a deep vertical specialist, though insurance and legal appear as named industries on the website. For buyers in those verticals, I would still verify whether the experience is with the day-to-day bookkeeping side (cash flows, payables, reconciliations) or extends into industry-specific compliance nuances like trust accounting for legal or premium accounting for insurance. Client testimonials on the site are named and specific. A real estate brokerage with 10 employees describes month-end reconciliation, payroll, credit card expense entry, and compliance management. A financial investment firm highlights tax-season readiness and on-demand availability. These are the kinds of engagements this practice handles well: ongoing, full-service bookkeeping for small businesses with under 20 employees, where the owner wants to hand off the books entirely and have a single trusted contact. Delivery is remote or on-site, covering Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Orlando, St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Miami based on the site navigation, so Florida-based businesses across the state can be served, with in-person availability in those specific markets. My honest take: 904 Bookkeeping is a strong fit for small Florida businesses, particularly those running QuickBooks, that need a reliable, credentialed bookkeeper without the overhead of a full-time hire. The solo or very small team structure is both the appeal and the constraint. The appeal: you are working directly with the expert, not handed off to a junior. The constraint: capacity is finite. I would ask directly about current client load and availability before committing, especially if you anticipate seasonal volume spikes or need guaranteed turnaround times during peak periods like year-end or tax season. I would also clarify scope upfront. This practice does bookkeeping, payroll tax filing, and QuickBooks consulting, it does not appear to offer CFO advisory, full tax preparation, or audit support. For businesses that only need clean books and accurate payroll, that is exactly right. For businesses expecting strategic financial planning or tax filing, you would need a CPA or tax advisor alongside this engagement. For pricing and engagement model, the site does not publish rates, which is common for freelance bookkeeping practices that price by scope and volume. Expect a custom quote based on transaction volume, cleanup complexity, payroll headcount, and whether the engagement is ongoing or project-based. Before signing, I would confirm: what the monthly deliverables look like, how financial reports are shared, what the turnaround time is for reconciliations, and what the handoff process looks like if the engagement ever needs to transition. A small practice with strong credentials is worth the extra diligence on continuity planning.
