Sound familiar?

You started a business to do what you love โ€” not to wrangle receipts at midnight.

๐Ÿ˜ฐ

Months behind on bookkeeping

Tax season is coming and you have no idea what your books look like.

๐Ÿ“Š

No real financial reports

You don't know if you're actually profitable until the end of the year โ€” if then.

๐Ÿ“ฌ

Invoices going unpaid

You're too busy doing the work to chase down the people who owe you money.

๐Ÿคฏ

Payroll is a nightmare

Calculating taxes, running payroll, and filing 941s takes hours you don't have.

๐Ÿงพ

1099s and W-2s stress you out

Filing season brings panic because you're not sure you tracked everything correctly.

๐Ÿ”ฅ

Your CPA charges you to clean up

Every year your accountant bills extra hours just to untangle your books before filing.

We solve all of this โ€” every month โ€” for a flat fee.

Why Archer

Local bookkeeper. Real accountability.

Archer Accounting is owned and operated by Christian Nichols in Western Pennsylvania โ€” the same person behind Archer Notary and Archer ATM. When you work with us, you're working directly with a local business owner who understands what small businesses face.

We're not a big-box accounting franchise. We're a focused bookkeeping firm that does one thing well: keeps your financial records clean, current, and ready for anything.

Flat Monthly Pricing

Know your exact cost every month. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

100% Cloud-Based

Secure access from anywhere. Your books live in the cloud, not a filing cabinet.

Monthly Reports

Clean P&L and balance sheet every month so you always know your financial position.

Responsive Support

Questions don't wait for quarterly meetings. Reach us by email or phone when you need us.

We are bookkeepers, not CPAs โ€” and that's our superpower.

Archer Accounting does not provide tax advice, income tax return preparation, or audits. We specialize in keeping your books clean and current. When you need a CPA, your books will be in perfect shape โ€” saving you money on their hourly rate. We can refer you to trusted local CPAs if needed.

Common Questions

Quick answers

Are you a CPA firm?
No โ€” we are a professional bookkeeping firm. We do not prepare income tax returns, provide tax advice, or perform audits. We handle your day-to-day books, payroll, invoicing, and filings like 1099s and sales tax returns. This keeps your costs down and your CPA happy โ€” they get clean data instead of a mess to untangle.
How much does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Plans start at $299/month for small businesses with up to 75 transactions. The right plan depends on your transaction volume, whether you need invoicing and AR, and whether you need payroll. We offer a free consultation to give you an exact quote โ€” no guesswork.
What software do you use?
We primarily work in QuickBooks Online and Xero. If you're already on one of those platforms, great โ€” we connect to your existing account. If you're on Wave, FreshBooks, or spreadsheets, we can migrate you to a cloud platform as part of onboarding.
How fast can you get started?
Fast. Most clients are fully onboarded within one week of signing. After your free consultation, we'll send a simple engagement letter, connect to your bank feeds, and get to work. No long setup processes or complicated paperwork.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
No. All plans are month-to-month. We earn your business every month by delivering clean, on-time books. If your situation changes, you can adjust your plan or cancel with 30 days notice.
