Cross Bookkeeping and Tax

You Are Good at Your Business,
but Your Books Are Another Story.

You did not start your business to spend weekends reconciling accounts. However, when your books are a mess, you are blindly making decisions based on guesswork — which can be costly. You need to know where your money is going. That is where we come in.

Books Falling Behind

Every month you put off doing your books, the more difficult they can become to catch up.

Decisions Made in the Dark

Making decisions without clean numbers can be costly. You do not know which jobs are profitable or where your cash is going.

Tax Season Stress

You do not have to dread tax season or the IRS when your books are done correctly and in a timely manner.

QuickBooks Set Up Incorrectly

If QuickBooks is set up incorrectly or not properly configured, it creates confusion instead of clarity.

The Outcome

Imagine This Instead

This is what working with Cross Bookkeeping and Tax actually looks like for our clients.

For contractors

You know exactly what each job cost you.

Labor, materials, subs — and which job actually made money. No more finishing a project and wondering where the profit went.

For trade business owners

Tax season arrives with nothing to scramble for.

Your books have been clean all year. Your CPA gets what they need. You write the check knowing exactly what it covers and why.

For owners who have been putting it off

The backlog is gone.

Every transaction categorized, every account reconciled, every month accounted for. You open your financials and actually understand what you are looking at.

For every client we work with

Decisions based on real numbers.

You hand off the part of your business you were never meant to carry — and get back to the work you actually started your business to do.

That is what working with Cross Bookkeeping and Tax looks like.

"Get back to running your business, instead of your business running you."

Why Cross Bookkeeping and Tax?

SV

Scott VanSlooten

Co-Founder
QuickBooks ProAdvisor Trade Business Specialist

Scott managed the books for a millwork company on the north side of Jacksonville — not as an outside consultant, but as the person inside the business making the numbers work every single day. He has run job cost reports for real projects, felt the pressure of crew payroll on a Friday afternoon, and managed cash flow across multiple jobs running simultaneously.

When a contractor sits across from Scott, they are not talking to someone who studied their world in a classroom. They are talking to someone who has lived it. He is also a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, with a particular talent for bringing order to books that have gotten away from people.

RR

Ron Ross

Co-Founder
M.S. Accounting QuickBooks ProAdvisor Manufacturing & Corporate Finance

Ron brings accounting management experience across organizations ranging from small teams to companies with over 1,000 employees — in industries from manufacturing to software. That range means he has seen almost every financial challenge a small business can face.

What sets Ron apart is his ability to make clients feel at ease talking honestly about their finances. Most business owners are embarrassed about how behind their books are. Ron's approach makes that conversation feel safe, not shameful. He works with clients who want to actively understand their numbers — not just be handed a report once a month.
