Accounting, tax & advisory for small business owners.

Clean books, better tax planning, and clearer financial decisions. From bookkeeping and cleanup to tax preparation and controller-level support, Steinhoff Financial provides direct, year-round help as your business grows.

Good accounting should help you run the business, not just file the return.

Most accounting problems do not start at tax time. They build throughout the year when the books fall behind, tax planning gets delayed, or the numbers stop giving you a clear picture of the business.

  • The books are behind. Accounts are not reconciled, transactions are sitting uncategorized, or cleanup keeps getting pushed until tax season.
  • Taxes keep becoming a surprise. You should have an idea what is coming before the return is filed, not after the year is already over.
  • You have reports, but not answers. A profit and loss statement only helps if the numbers are accurate and you understand what they are telling you.
  • The business is getting more complicated. Payroll, employees, equipment, cash flow, taxes, and growth can quickly require more than basic bookkeeping.

The goal is simple: clean books, fewer surprises, and better financial visibility throughout the year.

One person. Full accountability. No runaround.

I’m Mark Steinhoff. Before working in accounting and finance, I served aboard U.S. Navy submarines, where attention to detail, reliable systems, and accountability were part of the job. I bring that same mindset to the financial side of small business.

I started Steinhoff Financial to give business owners a more hands-on alternative to the traditional accounting relationship. When you have a question about your books, taxes, payroll, or financial reporting, you are not being passed from one person to another. You work directly with me.

My background includes a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting and Finance from Texas Christian University (TCU). I have hands-on experience in accounting, taxation, private equity, operating companies, and real estate, with a focus on financial reporting, month-end close, account reconciliations, QuickBooks cleanup, and payroll coordination.

Direct access You work directly with the person responsible for your accounting.
Year-round support Questions do not have to wait until tax season or the next filing deadline.
Built to grow with you Start with bookkeeping or cleanup and add tax and financial support as needed.

Services


Accounting, tax, and financial support that grows with your business.

Start with what your business needs today — bookkeeping, cleanup, tax preparation, payroll support, or planning — and add more hands-on financial support as the business grows.

  • Bookkeeping

    Monthly bookkeeping & reconciliations

    Ongoing bookkeeping, bank and credit-card reconciliations, transaction review, and balance-sheet oversight so your books stay current.

  • Cleanup

    Catch-up bookkeeping & QuickBooks cleanup

    Fix unreconciled accounts, duplicate activity, incorrect classifications, and messy account structures so the books are usable again.

  • Tax Preparation

    Business & individual tax returns

    Tax preparation for business owners with attention to how the books, payroll, deductions, and owner activity fit together.

  • Tax Planning

    Year-round planning & estimated taxes

    Review estimated payments, deductions, timing decisions, owner compensation, entity considerations, and planning opportunities.

  • Payroll

    Payroll setup & accounting coordination

    Support with payroll setup, employee workflows, payroll liabilities, reimbursements, and QuickBooks integration.

  • Advisory

    Controller-level financial support

    Financial-statement review, cash-flow visibility, balance-sheet oversight, reporting, process improvement, and more frequent financial conversations.

You do not need every service on day one. Start with the areas that need attention now and add support as the business becomes more complex.

Start with what you need. Build from there.

Some businesses only need dependable monthly bookkeeping. Others need payroll, AP, AR, cleanup work, tax support, or more hands-on financial guidance. The scope is built around what your business actually needs.

  • Expanded Support

    Bookkeeping & Business Operations

    Custom / based on workload

    For businesses that need more involvement than basic monthly bookkeeping and want help with recurring accounting and back-office workflows.

    • Monthly bookkeeping and reconciliations
    • Payroll accounting and coordination
    • Accounts payable and bill-pay support
    • Accounts receivable and invoicing support
    • Sales-tax and recurring filing support
    • More frequent account and transaction review
    Operational work is priced separately. AP, AR, payroll, bill pay, invoicing, transaction volume, and frequency can significantly change the amount of monthly work involved.

  • Projects

    Cleanup & Accounting Projects

    Quoted after review

    For businesses that need a specific accounting problem fixed, a system cleaned up, or the books brought back under control.

    • Catch-up bookkeeping and QuickBooks cleanup
    • QuickBooks setup and accounting conversions
    • Balance-sheet and reconciliation projects
    • Chart-of-accounts cleanup and redesign
    • Payroll and accounting system setup

Pricing is based on scope and complexity. Starting monthly pricing assumes straightforward activity and organized records. Transaction volume, number of accounts, payroll, AP/AR involvement, filing requirements, condition of the books, and frequency of support can affect the final fee. Scope and pricing are agreed to before work begins.

Getting started should be simple.

We start with where things stand today, figure out what needs attention, and agree on the right scope before any work begins.

  1. Tell me what you need help with

    We start with a conversation about your business, your current accounting, and what you are trying to fix or improve.

  2. I review what you already have

    If needed, I review your QuickBooks file, accounts, reconciliations, payroll activity, prior financials, and other information relevant to the work.

  3. You get a clear scope and price

    I explain what needs attention, what I recommend doing first, and what the work will cost before we move forward.

  4. We fix it, maintain it, or both

    Some clients need a one-time project. Others want monthly bookkeeping, tax support, or ongoing financial help after the initial work is complete.

No one-size-fits-all package. The scope is based on what your business actually needs.

Straightforward support from start to finish.

  • Direct communication You work directly with me when questions or accounting issues come up.
  • Clear scope & pricing We agree on what is being done and what it costs before the work begins.
  • Flexible support Start with a project, monthly bookkeeping, or tax work and add support when it makes sense.

Tell me what is going on with your business.

Whether you need monthly bookkeeping, a cleanup project, tax support, payroll or back-office help, or better financial visibility, send me a short note and we can figure out the right next step.
