Regardless of tier, every Shieldbearer client gets these non-negotiables.

A 20% deposit of the estimated total is required before add-on work begins. All project work requires written approval before we start.

What We Don't Do

We believe in clarity. Here's what falls outside our scope — and who you should talk to instead.

Tax Preparation & Filing

We get your books tax-ready. Your licensed CPA handles the filing.

Payroll Processing

Payroll is a specialized service. We can recommend providers that integrate with QBO.

Legal or Financial Planning

We're bookkeepers, not attorneys or financial planners. Always consult licensed professionals.

Audit & Assurance Services

Formal audits and assurance engagements require a licensed CPA firm.
