We offer accounting training in Xero and QuickBooks.
Did you purchase accounting software for your business but haven’t quite figured it out yet? Rather than cast it aside as too much bother, take too much time away from more productive tasks to slowly learn it, or hire someone well-versed with it who is asking for a higher salary than you care to spend, give us a call at Balanced Bookkeeping of NC.
Unlike most accountants who only do the actual accounting work, we understand that some businesses want to do the bookkeeping tasks themselves. Rather than just let you “sink or swim,” we offer accounting training for you, your in-house bookkeeper, or your accounting team in either Xero or QuickBooks accounting software. You can be confident that you’ll get excellent guidance and training as we are a certified ProAdvisor for Intuit’s QuickBooks online accounting software.
I highly recommend for all professions.
“I was looking for a professional who could help me understand how to implement job costing into our reporting system. I found that professional in Shelley Cole of Balanced Bookkeeping of NC. She has been instrumental in my understanding of how to use the resources I have available in QuickBooks Online. She is truly an expert in her field and a patient educator. I highly recommend her for all professions, especially those in the trades industries.”

For example, if you haven’t gotten started at all, we can get your file set up and walk you through the various functions the software has to offer. If you haven’t yet purchased QuickBooks, we can go over the advantages of the desktop and online versions so you can make an informed choice. As for the accounting training itself, we can schedule various times to go over one task at a time or several based on your schedule and how you progress or just do a refresher if you are struggling with one or more components.

This is our first year running our own business, and while we’re experienced in our field, bookkeeping was new to us. Balanced Bookkeeping of NC has been an invaluable resource. From the start, Shelley really listened to our needs and paired us with the perfect agent. Daniela is highly knowledgeable, kind, and supportive. She keeps our bookkeeping updated and is always quick to answer any questions we send her way. What we appreciate most is the way she understands that we want to learn the “how” and “why” of each aspect of managing our books, and she patiently guides us step by step through each task so that we build real confidence. Her support has made bookkeeping far less overwhelming. Highly recommend!

Balanced Bookkeeping is the best accounting firm I have worked with in my 25 year management career. Their fees are very fair, probably below market rate. Every staff person is professional and courtesy, and this starts at the top with Shelly. I especially enjoy working with Elizabeth Michalechen, who is highly skilled and knowledgeable of the many nuances of financial procedures.

Balanced Bookkeeping has been a lifesaver for me and my company. They have helped keep my books in order and make my life easier. Gale has been great and responds quickly to any question or problem I throw at her. I tried to change one time, but quickly realized how much Balanced Bookkeeping actually did for me and I went straight back to them. If you want things done correctly, quickly and worry free then they are the ones you want to use!

I switched to Balanced Bookkeeping of NC last year and couldn't be happier. They have been super helpful and more than willing to answer any questions that I have. They are very fast in their communications and timely with filings and sending out monthly reports plus they have been willing to show me around Quickbooks so I can handle some of the smaller projects that save my business a little bit of cash. I feel very confident that my books are being done correctly and are up to date!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Balanced Bookkeeping for a while now, and I truly can’t say enough good things.Gale, in particular, has been an absolute blessing in my life. She’s not only a bookkeeping genius, she’s one of the kindest, most hardworking, and detail-oriented people I know. I always say I’d trust her with my finances and my life and I mean it!Whether it’s reconciling a tricky account, making sense of messy reports, answering my 100th “quick question,” or sharing an occasional laugh when we need it most, Gale handles it all with patience and care!! She’s become so much more than a trusted professional she’s truly a friend our team and I are very grateful for.Thanks to Gale and the amazing team at Balanced Bookkeeping, our company can breathe easier knowing our financials are in the best possible hands. If you’re looking for someone to keep your books with excellence you’ve found your people!!!

Wow, where do I even begin with Balanced Bookkeeping? Let's just say, after bouncing around bookkeepers who either treated me like a number or didn't understand my mental health business (think insurance nightmares!), I finally found my people.From the moment I spoke with Shelley, the owner, I knew things were different. She *actually* listened to my story and got it! It wasn't just talk either; she promised care, and that's exactly what I've experienced.The onboarding with Staci was seamless – she guided me through every step. And Daniela, my bookkeeper? Seriously the most in-tune, resourceful, and knowledgeable person I've worked with. When there was a potential hiccup with being reassigned due to new hires, Shelley listened to my concerns immediately and made sure I stayed with Daniela. That's how much they value their clients!These folks are *detailed*. They stay on top of everything, making sure my entries are right and end-of-year prep is a breeze. Honestly, my past experiences were rough, so maybe I can't compare apples to apples, but the *clear difference* with Balanced Bookkeeping showed me exactly what I was missing.For fellow mental health pros dealing with the headache of insurance, copays, and deductibles – they *get* it. Balanced Bookkeeping has been amazing at tracking it all. Plus, as I explore new ideas for my business, they're a fantastic sounding board to ensure I stay compliant.Their hourly rate feels fair, and I love that I can set monthly service goals. Seriously, if you're a small business owner (1-10 employees), you *need* to give them a call. You won't be just another number here; you'll get timely responses and if they don't know something, they'll find you the resources you need.I could honestly go on and on, but I'll just say I'm looking forward to a long and successful partnership with Balanced Bookkeeping. Do yourself a favor and reach out!

I was referred to Shelley and Balanced Bookkeeping and I am so glad I called! I thought I had a handle on my Quickbooks accounting for my small business but we recently upgraded our inspection software and billing and it wasn't syncing the way I had previously learned. After a few months of trying to balance things on my own and reconcile, I was in a pickle and getting overwhelmed. I set up an appointment with Shelley and she and I went step by step through all of my concerns. Then she and her team did their behind-the-scenes magic and BAM, my books looked amazing! We just had our follow-up phone call and she trained me how to use QB with my new software PLUS she had already reconciled the previous months so it was soooo much easier than I anticipated to get back on track. I highly recommend Balanced Bookkeeping of NC - so professional and knowledgeable AND they communicated with me in a very timely manner. Thank you again!
