Because that's where books break in the most interesting ways.
Gaines Capital Books started as a traditional bookkeeping and fractional CFO practice. Somewhere along the way we noticed a pattern: the clients with the messiest books weren't the biggest ones. They were the ones with subscription revenue. Annual contracts, monthly recognition, prepaid everything, and a dashboard MRR number that never once matched the ledger.
So we rebuilt the practice around that problem. Accrual books as the default. Deferred revenue and prepaid schedules maintained monthly, not reconstructed at year-end. Reporting that a founder can hand to an investor without a disclaimer.
Flat rates. Hourly billing punishes you for asking questions. We'd rather you ask.
Plain English. If an explanation needs a glossary, it isn't an explanation yet.
Async first. Good bookkeeping is quiet. You should hear from us on schedule and never wonder where things stand.
No performative hustle. We don't post daily motivation. We close books and build tools, and the work speaks in complete sentences.
Gaines Capital Books is based in Spokane, Washington, and works with clients everywhere the internet reaches.
