Most clients come to us at one of three points.

Behind

Months of backlog

Bank feeds are months out of date, and tax season is closing in. We triage first, then catch you up.

Messy

DIY Bookkeeping gone sideways

Miscoded transactions, duplicate entries, an owner's draw filed as an expense. We clean it up and set guardrails so it doesn't happen again.

Outgrown

Too busy to keep up

The business grew past the spreadsheet. You need books that are accurate every month without you touching them.

Services

Three ways to work with us.

Who's behind the books

Antione S., Founder

Antione founded Stevens Keeps to give New Jersey small businesses a bookkeeper who actually picks up the phone. A Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor with experience across platforms like Wave as well, Antione sets up and maintains your books on whichever software genuinely fits your business — not a one-size-fits-all workaround.

How it works

From first call to reconciled books.

  2. 02

    Fixed quote, no surprises

    Cleanup work is quoted flat-fee up front. Monthly service is a simple recurring rate based on your transaction volume.
