Paso Robles bookkeeper launches new website

Just the Books, a bookkeeping company that handles everything from payroll to QuickBooks training for area wineries and other local businesses along the Central Coast, has just launched its new website. Jollyne Johnson, the owner of Just the Books, has built the site to offer key resources and information to her clients and prospective clients alike.

“A lot of small businesses may not realize that bookkeeping isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach,” says Johnson, a CPA with over 20 years of experience who specializes in winery bookkeeping, payroll administration, tax prep and many other professional services. “There’s so much more flexibility in hiring out bookkeeping services compared to keeping your accounting operations in-house, and the new site lets business owners learn about those options.”

Just the Books offers standard bookkeeping for businesses, as well as additional services including payroll, training sessions on QuickBooks use, new business startup consultations, and tax planning and preparation.

“Many small business owners think they can handle their own books initially,” explains Johnson, who offers bookkeeping services to businesses from San Luis Obispo to Paso Robles and all along the Central Coast. “Then they get behind because it takes far more time and effort than they realized. Outsourced bookkeeping saves time, money and stress. Most importantly, small business owners are freed up to focus on what they do best: run their business.”

Basic bookkeeping services from Just the Books include such options as accounts receivable, accounts payable and annual budgeting. Just the Books can also assist with bank reconciliation, cleaning up existing bookkeeping records, or working out a custom reporting system that’s tailored to a company’s individual needs. Tax filings for federal, state and payroll taxes are also offered, as well as personal bill paying services. Just the Books can also work directly with an existing accountant to help streamline company finances.

For payroll services, Just the Books can offer either a complete package or a la carte options, depending on individual business needs. As a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, Just the Books can also train existing employees in more efficient use of the program, and can assist with initial setup as well as providing ongoing support via phone or email. Just the Books can help new businesses file their Federal Tax ID numbers as well as their sales permit and other legal forms, plus assist with preparing financial statements to submit to lending institutions and help prepare employee policy manuals.

Many businesses prefer to call in outside help just at tax season, and Just the Books offers these services as well. Just the Books can work directly with an existing CPA to ensure that all tax filing needs are met, or can take care of preparing for the filing process from start to finish by gathering and organizing all available tax data.

Just the Books was founded in Paso Robles, California by Jollyne Johnson. Ms. Johnson has over 20 years of experience in a variety of financial, bookkeeping and accounting settings. She is devoted to providing a comprehensive set of financial services to meet the needs of many types of businesses.
