Delaware · Bookkeeping Services
Delaware bookkeeping services — clean books, same bookkeeper, every month.
Monthly bookkeeping, cleanup, and catch-up for Delaware businesses — every account reconciled, gross receipts tracked by activity, the franchise-tax reserve set, and CPA-ready statements delivered monthly by a named Certified ProAdvisor in your own QuickBooks file. Fixed-fee, all three counties.
Accounting, cleanup, advisory — we match the right expert to your books.
Intuit certifications
Every engagement is reviewed by a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor (QuickBooks Online Level 2, Payroll) — verification on request. Intuit’s ProAdvisor program becomes ProPartner Accountants in early 2027; the certifications continue.
The short version.
Delaware bookkeeping services from TechBrot keep your books clean, current, and reconciled — every bank, credit-card, and merchant account categorized, gross receipts tracked by activity, the franchise-tax reserve set, and CPA-ready financial statements produced monthly by a named Certified ProAdvisor on the same file. Behind or messy? A one-time cleanup or catch-up comes first, then ongoing monthly bookkeeping. Fixed-fee against a written scope (monthly from $400/mo; cleanup from $1,500). We run the books in QuickBooks Online — in your own file — and coordinate with your CPA. We’re not a CPA firm: we deliver the books; your CPA files. All three Delaware counties, Wilmington to the Sussex coast.
Maintained by the Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor team at TechBrot Inc., an independent firm — not affiliated with Intuit Inc. Delaware references (no sales tax; the gross receipts tax on the seller; the annual franchise tax; Wilmington’s 1.25% wage tax) reflect rules current as of the review date and are reviewed periodically; TechBrot does not file Delaware returns or the franchise tax.
Delaware bookkeeping services, in five questions.
What are Delaware bookkeeping services?
Delaware bookkeeping services are the ongoing recording, reconciling, and reporting of a Delaware business’s finances — bank and card reconciliation, a clean chart of accounts, AR/AP tracking, gross-receipts-tax tracking by activity, the annual franchise-tax reserve, and monthly CPA-ready statements. TechBrot delivers them fixed-fee in your own QuickBooks Online file, with a named Certified ProAdvisor on the same file every month.
What do they cost in Delaware?
Ongoing monthly bookkeeping starts at $400/mo, set by transaction volume, number of accounts and entities, and complexity — not by the hour. If you’re behind, a one-time cleanup or catch-up (cleanup from $1,500, catch-up from $2,000) comes first. All fixed-fee, priced in writing before work begins. See Delaware pricing.
Bookkeeper or accountant — which do I need?
Most Delaware businesses need bookkeeping first (clean, current, reconciled books) and a CPA second (filing, tax strategy). TechBrot does the bookkeeping and QuickBooks work and coordinates with your CPA, who files. Not sure which you need? That’s exactly what the discovery call sorts out.
Can you clean up my books first?
Yes — the standard path is a one-time cleanup or catch-up to a CPA-ready standard — including separating commingled multi-entity files — then ongoing monthly service so the books never drift again.
Same bookkeeper every month?
Yes — a named Certified ProAdvisor stays on your file, not rotated, anonymous staff. Continuity is why errors get caught early and the books reflect how your Delaware business actually runs — in-state or owned from elsewhere.
Complete monthly bookkeeping, not a partial service.
Every engagement is scoped to your business and delivered in your own QuickBooks file by a named Certified ProAdvisor.
Transaction categorization & reconciliation
Every bank, credit-card, and merchant account categorized correctly and reconciled to statement, with accounts payable and receivable kept current — the foundation everything else depends on.
Clean chart of accounts
A chart of accounts structured for your Delaware business — with gross-receipts activity categories and a franchise-tax reserve account — so your reports are meaningful and tax prep is painless.
Gross receipts tax tracking
Delaware has no sales tax to collect — instead the seller owes a gross receipts tax. We track receipts by business activity inside QuickBooks so the right rate and monthly exclusion apply and the return reconciles to the books. You or your CPA file with the Division of Revenue.
Monthly financial statements
A profit & loss, balance sheet, and cash-flow statement you can actually read — delivered on a predictable monthly cadence, not scrambled together at year-end — per entity where you run more than one.
Year-end CPA handoff
Clean, documented, reconciled books delivered to your CPA at year-end — with the franchise-tax reserve set and intercompany structure clean — for faster, cheaper, audit-ready filing, with us coordinating directly.

What a Delaware monthly close has to capture.
A monthly close is only useful if it produces what Delaware will actually ask for. These four are what the close carries here, so the filings come out of the books rather than being rebuilt around them.
Gross receipts split by activity category
The close reports receipts per activity, because the rate depends on which activity earned them.
Franchise tax accrued monthly, both methods
Corporations may pick the cheaper of two methods, so the close keeps the share and asset data both need.
Wilmington wage tax reconciled by work location
Checked against payroll each period, not assumed from the entity address.
Each entity closed on its own books
One monthly cadence, separate ledgers, so every entity can stand alone.
Figures maintained against Delaware’s own published sources. The national method is on monthly bookkeeping →; the Delaware picture is on the Delaware page →.
Four steps to clean books.
Every Delaware engagement follows the same rhythm — books accurate first, monthly cadence second, advisory third.
Books review
A free discovery call and a look at your current books and your Delaware situation — volume, accounts, number of entities, gross-receipts activity, and where things are breaking. No pitch.
Written scope
A fixed-fee proposal within 3 business days — cleanup, monthly bookkeeping, or both — with the price in writing before any work starts.
Cleanup if needed
If your books are behind or messy — or commingled across entities — your named Certified ProAdvisor gets the file accurate and reconciled to a CPA-ready standard first.
Monthly cadence
The same bookkeeper, the same file, every month — reconciled accounts, gross receipts tracked, franchise-tax reserve set, statements delivered, with a clean year-end handoff to your CPA.
Automation handles the data entry. We handle the judgment.
Bank feeds can import a transaction; they can’t tell you a customer is slow-paying, a margin is shrinking, which gross-receipts activity category your revenue falls under, or that the franchise-tax reserve will fall short. Clean books are the foundation — judgment is the value.
Once your Delaware books are solid, the question shifts from “are the books right?” to “what do they tell me to do next?” That’s where fractional-CFO advisory turns reconciled books into cash-flow planning and real decisions. Explore fractional CFO & advisory →
