Your books should tell you what's happening. Not stress you out.
I'm Stephanie Avila. I do monthly bookkeeping for small businesses — especially construction and trades — so you can see where your money is actually going and make decisions based on real numbers.
Services built for real small businesses
Not one-size-fits-all packages. I price based on what your books actually need.
Monthly Bookkeeping
Transaction categorization, account reconciliation, and monthly reporting. Clean books every single month — no surprises at tax time.
Most popularJob Costing
Know which jobs actually made you money. I track costs by job so you can bid smarter and stop guessing at your margins.
Construction specialtyPayroll Support
Bi-weekly, weekly, or semi-monthly — I'll set it up or take it off your plate entirely. Even when your crew doesn't submit hours on time.
Cleanup & Catch-Up
Behind on your books? I'll get you current with a flat-fee cleanup project, then move you into a monthly plan. No judgment.
Zoho Books Setup
I'm a certified Zoho Partner. I can migrate you from QuickBooks, set up Zoho from scratch, or train your team on the system.
Zoho PartnerAccounts Receivable
I track what you're owed, reconcile invoices, and flag anything overdue — so cash flow doesn't sneak up on you.
I started Avila Books & Business to work with small business owners who need someone they can actually talk to — not a faceless service that sends you a report and calls it done.
I use Zoho Books and I'm a certified Zoho Partner, which means I can set you up on it, migrate your data, or just run it for you. I'm also a QBO ProAdvisor, so if you're already on QuickBooks, I work in that too.
My clients are business owners with 1–10 employees who are serious about understanding their numbers. If that's you, let's talk.
Flat monthly retainers. No hourly surprises.
I price based on what your books actually need — transactions, payroll complexity, how far behind you are. Book a call and I'll give you a real number within 24 hours.
Monthly Retainer
Most clients fall somewhere in this range depending on business size and complexity. I'll calculate your exact number after our discovery call.
- Priced based on your actual transaction volume
- Payroll, AR, and AP support billed into the flat rate
- No surprise invoices for "extra" work
- Zoho Books or QuickBooks — your choice
- Monthly report with a plain-English summary
Starting from behind?
If your books are a few months behind, I offer a flat-fee cleanup project before moving to monthly. Most cleanups are completed within 2 weeks. Pricing depends on how far back and what condition things are in — ask me on the call.

Candor Deception Detection
A software tool for small business owners who want an extra layer of protection over their business.
What it does
Candor helps small business owners detect dishonesty — in employees, contractors, and business partners — using behavioral analysis software. It's not about distrust. It's about not finding out six months later.
Who it's for
Business owners who handle cash, have employees managing finances, or just want peace of mind. If you've ever had that gut feeling something was off, this is the tool that tells you whether you're right.
Not sure what you need? Start with a free call.
No pitch. I'll look at where you are and tell you exactly what needs to happen — whether that's working with me or not.
