Not Just Bookkeepers

Most outsourced bookkeeping firms hand your files to data entry clerks. We don’t.

A Dedicated Team, Not a Software Tool

No DIY dashboards or AI-generated reports you have to review yourself. A dedicated accounting team that knows your industry handles everything.

Know Which Loads Actually Make You Money

The problem: Most carriers look at total revenue and total expenses without understanding profitability at the load level. Some lanes look busy but lose money after factoring in fuel, tolls, deadhead miles, and driver pay.

How we fix it: We track revenue and direct costs per load so you can see margin by lane, broker, and customer. You get the data you need to negotiate better rates, drop unprofitable lanes, and make smarter dispatching decisions.

IFTA Compliance Without the Quarterly Fire Drill

The problem: IFTA quarterly filings require accurate miles-per-jurisdiction tracking and fuel purchase reconciliation across every state your trucks operate in. Getting it wrong means audits, penalties, and hours of rework.

How we fix it: We reconcile your ELD mileage data against fuel card purchases every quarter and prepare your IFTA returns. Jurisdiction-level fuel tax credits and surcharges are all calculated so your filings are accurate and on time.

Driver Settlements That Are Right Every Time

The problem: Driver pay involves per-mile rates, accessorial charges, fuel advances, deductions, and bonuses. Errors in settlements lead to driver disputes, turnover, and accounting headaches that compound over time.

How we fix it: We reconcile driver settlements against load data, fuel card activity, and advance records every pay period. Drivers trust their pay, your books balance, and you avoid the back-and-forth that eats up office time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does outsourced accounting cost for a trucking company?
Pricing depends on fleet size, number of drivers, transaction volume, and whether you need IFTA reporting or driver settlement reconciliation. Most transportation clients are in the $1,000 to $3,500 per month range. We provide a specific quote after a 15-minute assessment of your current setup.

Do you handle IFTA quarterly filings?
Yes. We reconcile your ELD mileage data against fuel card purchases, calculate jurisdiction-level fuel tax credits and surcharges, and prepare and file your IFTA returns quarterly. You stay compliant across every state your trucks operate in.

Can you track profitability per load or per route?
Yes. We set up cost tracking that captures revenue, fuel, tolls, driver pay, and other direct costs per load. You can see margin by lane, broker, customer, or individual truck so you know exactly where your fleet makes and loses money.

How do you handle driver settlement reconciliation?
We reconcile driver settlements against load data, fuel card activity, advances, and deductions every pay period. Per-mile rates, accessorial charges, and bonuses are all calculated accurately so drivers trust their pay and your books stay balanced.

What software do you work with?
We work with QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online, and we integrate with TMS platforms like McLeod, TMW, TruckingOffice, and Axon. We also work with ELD providers and fuel card systems to pull data directly into your books.

How does the month-end close process work?
We close your books by the 15th of every month. This includes bank and credit card reconciliations, journal entries, accruals, driver settlement reconciliation, fleet depreciation entries, and a complete financial package (P&L by truck/division, balance sheet, cash flow) delivered to your inbox.

Are your team members actual accountants?
Yes. Our team is made up of staff accountants with accounting degrees, and we have CPAs on staff. That means your month-end close, journal entries, financial statement prep, and variance analysis are handled by people who understand accounting at a professional level — not data entry clerks recording transactions.
