Independent bookkeeping & advisory firm · Serving clients nationwide, remotely
Recurring monthly bookkeeping for Indiana businesses — real reconciliations, a full monthly close, and a financial package (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) by the 15th, once your statements and documents are in. County LIT withholding tracked by employee and the 7% Indiana sales tax reconciled each month, all in your own QuickBooks file, prepared by a senior bookkeeper who works in your software, or by a signed specialist practice when your books need one, served remotely across all 92 Indiana counties.
Indiana rule: employers withhold county tax based on each employee’s Indiana county of residence as of January 1; payroll in QuickBooks carries each employee’s county, and the withholding liability is tied to the payroll register each month. Source: Indiana DOR Departmental Notice #1.
What you can check before you sign
If your file needs our paid diagnostic first, its fee is credited in full against the cleanup. Either way, you get a fixed fee in writing before any work starts.
Every month, Indiana monthly bookkeeping reconciles each bank and card account to its statement, ties county income tax withholding to each employee’s January 1 county and squares the 7% sales tax, then sends you the P&L, balance sheet and cash flow by the 15th, once your statements and documents are in. It runs in your own QuickBooks file at $500–$2,500+/mo.
They took something that felt overwhelming to me as a first-year business owner and made it simple.
What stood out the most was TechBrot Inc’s attention to detail.
Same shape every month. You always know where your books are and when you’ll see them.
Bank feeds sync. Statements drop. Payroll runs reconcile. Receipts and supporting documents arrive through the secure portal — so the month’s raw data is complete before the close work begins.
Your senior bookkeeper categorizes transactions, reconciles every bank and credit-card account against the actual statements, investigates anomalies, and escalates anything that needs your input before it can be closed.
Month closed. County LIT withholding verified by employee county and the 7% Indiana sales tax reconciled to the books. Quality review against the operating standard. P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement generated, with variances and plain-English commentary prepared alongside them.
The monthly close package is delivered to you — reviewable in the portal, downloadable, and ready to share with your CPA, board, or lender. Same shape every month, on the same date.
Every TechBrot monthly engagement delivers these workstreams. Larger Indiana engagements layer additional services on top.
County LIT withholding is tracked per employee by county of residence and principal work county from each Form WH-4, so payroll withholds the right county rate; the 7% Indiana sales tax is tracked in the books so the periodic Indiana return reconciles; and business personal-property asset detail is kept assessor-ready (under the $2,000,000 exemption the property is exempt, claimed on Form 103 with Form 104; once claimed, a business that still qualifies files no return). You or your CPA file the Indiana sales-tax return with the Department of Revenue, and your CPA, EA, or county assessor handles the LIT and personal-property filings.
“Virtual” is how the monthly close on this page is delivered, not a lighter version of it. The work happens in your own QuickBooks Online file: bank and card data arrive through read-only feeds, receipts and statements go to a shared folder you own, and the month’s numbers are walked through on a video call. You are the primary admin of your own QuickBooks file and can see every user and the audit log. Your books are prepared by a senior bookkeeper who works in your software, or by a signed specialist practice when your books need one. Every close is reviewed before it reaches you.
Remote delivery also suits businesses with staff spread across several Indiana counties, because the county set-up lives in payroll, not in an office. Two Indiana obligations run through every remote close:
TechBrot does not prepare or file tax returns; we work with your CPA or EA.
Every monthly engagement is priced against a written scope. Indiana engagements are priced in three tiers, by volume and complexity.
From $500/month
For: simple books, 1–2 bank accounts, single entity, low transaction volume, no payroll or simple payroll.
Fixed-fee · scoped to volume
For: active Indiana businesses, multiple bank and credit accounts, payroll, county LIT withholding, the 7% Indiana sales tax.
Fixed-fee · custom scope
For: multi-entity structures, inventory, multi-state nexus for shippers, complex multi-county payroll, lender/investor reporting.
Monthly bookkeeping starts at $500/mo; the Standard and Complex tiers are priced as a fixed fee against the written scope determined by the diagnostic — by transaction volume, number of entities, payroll, and complexity, never hourly. An engagement can include a one-time onboarding fee covering setup, file review, and first-month verification. See TechBrot pricing for full detail.
A bank feed can import a transaction, but it can’t tell you whether margins are slipping, which county’s LIT rate each employee’s withholding should follow, whether the 7% Indiana sales-tax accrual reconciles, or whether shipping into another state has created nexus there. A monthly close turns raw data into numbers you can run the business on — the judgment layer is where the value is.
When monthly bookkeeping isn’t enough, fractional-CFO advisory builds forecasting, KPIs, and board-ready reporting on top of the clean monthly base. Explore fractional CFO & advisory
Checked against the Indiana Department of Revenue and the DLGF.
Every close is reviewed before it reaches you. You’ll know exactly who is closing your books, how to reach them, and what credentials they hold. Quality review by TechBrot backs every monthly close against TechBrot’s published operating standards. The result is a close you can set your calendar by. See Indiana bookkeeping services or our trust & methodology.
The standard, every fileEvery engagement runs on three roles: a client advisor who scopes it and stays your point of contact, a senior bookkeeper who prepares your setup and monthly close in your software, and a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor who reviews every close before it reaches you. A U.S.-based bookkeeper is available on request; we can share their public directory profile with you.
Senior bookkeepers who specialize in rental portfolios and Xero, and specialist partner practices for trust accounting for law firms and CFO advisory. We bring the right one onto your engagement when your business calls for it, under the same standards and review.
If the books are messy, wrong, or commingled across entities, cleanup comes first — then transition to monthly with the same preparer, without losing context.

Monthly bookkeeping starts at $500/mo. Final pricing depends on transaction volume, number of accounts and entities, payroll, county LIT withholding, sales-tax activity, and complexity — every engagement is a fixed monthly fee against a written scope, never hourly.

Standard monthly bookkeeping includes bank and credit-card reconciliations, transaction categorization, AP and AR upkeep, payroll and county LIT withholding tracking, the 7% Indiana sales tax reconciled, monthly close, and a monthly financial package — P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. Larger engagements add quarterly business reviews, multi-state nexus tracking, and year-end preparation.
By the 15th of the following month, once your statements and documents are in. For example, January books close and the January financial package is delivered by February 15. Complex multi-entity or inventory engagements take longer; your written scope sets the date. The timeline is set in your written scope.
Monthly bookkeeping starts from a known-current state. Books that are behind but structured need catch-up first; messy, inaccurate, or commingled multi-entity books need cleanup first. After cleanup or catch-up, you can move straight to monthly with the same bookkeeper, without losing context.
Each month we track the 7% Indiana sales tax in the books so the periodic Indiana return reconciles, and we track county LIT withholding per employee by county of residence and principal work county from each Form WH-4 so payroll withholds the right county rate. We also keep business personal-property asset detail assessor-ready — under the $2,000,000 exemption the property is exempt, claimed on Form 103 with Form 104; once claimed, a business that still qualifies files no return. TechBrot is a bookkeeping and advisory firm; we prepare the numbers and coordinate with your CPA, EA, and county assessor, who file.
A senior bookkeeper assigned to your file, and every close reviewed by a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor before it reaches you, working under TechBrot’s brand, standards, and infrastructure. Your client advisor is your point of contact. The same bookkeeper stays on your file wherever possible; any change needs your written approval. That includes across multi-county payrolls and multi-state shipping activity.
A virtual bookkeeper does everything an in-house bookkeeper does — categorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, producing statements, tracking sales tax — delivered remotely through cloud QuickBooks. For an Indiana business, the monthly close on this page runs in your own QuickBooks Online file, with no one needed on-site; your books are prepared by a senior bookkeeper who works in your software, or by a signed specialist practice when your books need one, with every close reviewed by a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor before it reaches you. If your staff live in several counties, each employee’s county is set up in payroll.
Yes. The seven percent sales tax is tracked in QuickBooks so your return reconciles, and county income tax is withheld by each employee’s Indiana county of residence as of January 1, set up in payroll from the WH-4 so withholding is correct for your CPA to file from. None of that needs an office visit. We keep the books; we do not file the returns.
