SIMPLIFIED ACCOUNTING SYSTEMS. SMARTER BUSINESS DECISIONS.

Rueckert Accounting helps growing service businesses fix broken systems, catch up messy books, and build accounting operations they can actually trust. 

PROJECT BASED ACCOUNTING FOR SERVICE-BASED BUSINESS

Rueckert Accounting works with growing service based businesses between $500k- $2M who are ready to fix the foundation, not just keep touching the books.

Every project is scoped, timelined, and finished, so you always know exactly what you're getting and when it's done. 

HOW IT WORKS

FOUR STEPS FROM UNSURE TO FIXED

01

Take the Audit

A short assessment that shows exactly where  your accounting operations are strong and where they're breaking down. 

02

Discovery Call

We go through your results together and figure out whether a project is actually the right fit. 

03

Project Scope

A clear quote with a defined scope, timeline, and finish line. No hourly billing. 

04

Delivery

We work in stages with checkpoints, so you always know what's done, what's next, and when it's finished.

SERVICES

THE FOUR CORE FUNCTIONS WE FIX

General Ledger
Cleanup, catch-up, and chart of accounts work so your books reflect what's actually happening in the business

Example Projects

Migrating from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online, with setup rebuilt to match how your business works

​Chart of accounts cleanup, including products and service setup and mapping and properly separating COGS.
Getting Paid
Invoicing systems, collections workflows, and reporting that makes sure you're getting paid for the work you do, on time. 

Example Projects

Linking a CRM or project management tool to QuickBooks Online so invoices sync automatically, with the sales workflow documented. 
Paying Vendors
Approval workflows, vendor terms, and spend visibility, so AP stops being something you're guessing at. 

Example Projects

Implementing Bill.com for a contractor, including approval routing and job costing setup. 
Paying Employees
Payroll setup, classifications, compliance, and any custom pay structures your team needs. 

Example Projects

Designing a commission tracking process with a custom QuickBooks Online report for a recruiting company. 
​
Migrating to Gusto and integrating retirement, health insurance, and workers comp, all synced to QuickBooks Online for accurate accounting. 

Not sure what’s actually broken?

As a business owner, you might know something is off with your accounting, but you just can’t name it.

 

The free Accounting Operations Audit takes 5 minutes and tells you exactly where your gaps are across the four core functions of your business, so you stop guessing and start fixing the right things first.

WHO WE HELP

BUSINESSES THAT HAVE OUTGROWN THEIR CURRENT SETUP

Your books are behind, or a system migration is coming
We plan and run the migration properly, so your historical data stays intact and the new setup actually matches how you work. 
Payroll feels like a guess every time
Wrong classifications, a provider that doesn't talk to your accounting software, benefits living outside the system. We set it up once, correctly. 
AP is eating your week
We build a process with approvals, terms, and job costing baked in, so it runs without you having to remember everything. 
Your chart of accounts has become unmanageable
We clean it up and rebuild it around products and services, so your reports actually mean something. 
You're not sure if your getting paid consistently
We connect your CRM or project management tool to QuickBooks and document the process so nothing falls through.

My mission: Fix the chaos, build the systems, and teach you how it all works—so you're empowered, not dependent.

​

  • Education-first: I explain as I go

  • Technology-driven: Automate everything possible

  • Team training: Multiple people learn the system

  • Plain English: No jargon

​

As a solopreneur myself, I understand what it takes to wear many hats. That’s why I’ve designed my services to be practical, approachable, and tailored to your business needs.

DIRECT HIRE PLACEMENT

Ready to bring someone in-house?

​

Sometimes the right answer is a full-time hire. We will discuss if this is the right move during your discovery call. I help you get clear on exactly what role your business needs, so you hire the right person for the right job. From there my recruiting partner takes it from here and finds you the right fit.

YOU'VE OUTGROWN THE OLD PROCESS

The workarounds and quick fixes that got your here made sense at the time. They're not built for where you are now. That's not a failure. It's just what growth does. The systems that fit your business at $250k don't fit at $1M. Let's build the structure that actually holds as you keep growing.
