Bookkeeping Services in Hayden, Idaho

Kootenai County

Working with Hayden business owners

Hayden has been one of the fastest-growing corners of Kootenai County for years, and that residential growth has produced a lot of home-service businesses — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping — that went from one truck to several in a short span of time.

We work with those businesses on the bookkeeping side: reconciling accounts monthly, producing statements you can actually read, getting payroll set up, handling contractor 1099s, and cleaning up records that fell behind during a growth spurt.

Growing faster than your recordkeeping

A one-person operation can hold the whole business in its head. The moment you add a second truck or your first employee, that stops working — and the specific thing that goes first is per-job profitability. Revenue is up, the bank balance is not, and it is genuinely hard to say which jobs are carrying the business and which are quietly losing money.

The fix is job costing: every job carries its own materials, labor, and subcontractor costs, so profitability is a number you look up rather than a feeling you have. We set that up inside your existing accounting file, and after a few months you can price new work from evidence.

What we handle for Hayden clients

Monthly Account Reconciliation Every bank and credit card transaction reviewed, categorized, and balanced each month so your records always match reality and you stay prepared for tax season.
Financial Reports Monthly profit & loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports written in plain language so you can make informed decisions about your business.
Payroll Setup & Support We get you set up correctly on Gusto, sort out worker classification, and keep the payroll entries reconciled against your books. Gusto runs the payroll itself.
1099 Filing You collect the W-9s from your contractors; we track the payments through the year and prepare and file the 1099-NECs in January, so the deadline is a non-event.
Book Clean-Up & Catch-Up Behind on your books? We correct errors, bring your records current, and set up systems that keep you organized going forward.

I am a small business owner in Fresno, CA. I am very happy with Bear River Bookkeeping Services. They are professional, knowledgable and courteous. They have given me and my business a sense of order in these crazy times. Rhonda is super nice and smart. I don't want to think what I would do without her.
Nicol C. Off the Tracks

Rhonda is an exceptional bookkeeper who went above and beyond for our company. She cleaned up over a year of errors left by a previous bookkeeper, bringing stability and clarity to the finances of our three businesses. Her expertise and dedication have been truly transformational.
Adam S. Adam Built

Bear River Bookkeeping rescued my business out of 3 years of shoeboxes in the closet to full audit ready P&L, Balance Sheet, and Income Statements in less than 90 days. They helped with a manageable tax plan and get out from under years of bad habits with FTB and IRS. I can't thank Rhonda and her team enough for allowing me to sleep at night for the first time in a long time.
