Why Portage businesses choose JRK
A Kalamazoo bookkeeper who works the way Portage businesses do.
Most Portage owners don't need to drive anywhere to get their books done. They need someone reliable who knows the area, answers the phone, and keeps the work on schedule.
Monthly bookkeeping
Transactions categorized, bank and credit card accounts reconciled, and reports you can read—every month, on a steady rhythm.
Catch-up and cleanup
Months behind or books that don't tie out? We work through the backlog in order and hand back records you can rely on.
Payroll coordination
Payroll run through Gusto, quarterly payroll filings, and year-end W-2s and 1099s, recorded cleanly in your books.
Tax-ready books
Your CPA or tax preparer gets reconciled, organized records at year-end instead of a shoebox and a scramble.
Switching bookkeepers
A careful handoff: access, open items, and the condition of the file reviewed before the monthly work begins.
Local, not a storefront
We're based in Kalamazoo and meet by appointment. Routine work happens securely online, so you never lose a morning to it.
Books and taxes, without the gaps
Tax-ready books and a clean handoff to your CPA.
Your bookkeeping and your tax return shouldn't be two separate guessing games.
We reconcile your accounts every month, so at year-end your CPA or enrolled agent receives organized, reconciled records instead of a cleanup project. We coordinate directly with them on questions, adjustments, and anything they need from the file.
Prefer to keep it under one roof? Tax preparation and tax planning are available when they're expressly included in your engagement, and the scope is confirmed before work begins.

Common questions
Questions Portage businesses ask us
Do you have an office in Portage?
No. JRK Financial is based in Kalamazoo and serves Portage businesses remotely and by appointment. Most routine bookkeeping happens through secure online access, so regular office visits aren't needed.
How much does bookkeeping cost for a Portage business?
Pricing depends on the work your business requires—number of bank and credit card accounts, monthly transaction volume, payroll needs, and any catch-up work. After a free consultation we recommend a monthly plan, and you'll know what's included and the price before work begins.
Can you catch up books that are months behind?
Yes. Catch-up work is handled month by month, in order, with each account reconciled, so you end with current records rather than estimates.
Will you work with my CPA or tax preparer?
Yes. We deliver reconciled, tax-ready books and coordinate directly with your CPA or tax professional. Tax preparation and planning are also available when they're expressly included in your engagement.
What software do you support?
QuickBooks Online and Manager.io. If you're on something else, we'll talk through what makes sense for your business.
